PRIVACY EDUCATION OF ADOLESCENTS WITH MENTAL DISABILITY AND REVIEW OF DRAWING ANALYSIS OF INDIVIDUALS AT RISK FOR ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER AND HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD)

Gülten Caca

Abstract


Many individuals with intellectual disabilities find it difficult to express their feelings and thoughts about sexual (intimacy) education. The way to make it easier should be to help them express their feelings through pictures. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the views of individuals with mild, moderate and severe adolescent Mental Disability (MD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) on privacy education. A descriptive survey model was used in the study. A total of 25 individuals with MD and ADHD risk, 15 boys and 10 girls, aged 11-24 years, participated in the study in Prizren-Center and Mamusha provinces of Kosovo (Bosniak, Albanian and Turkish). A total of 3 data collection tools were used in the study. The “Personal Information Form” consisting of 10 questions, “Draw a Girl” (DW) and “Draw a Boy (DB)” consisting of 15 questions and the third data collection tool, “MDADHD Risk Individual’s Expert Picture Analysis Form (MDADHDRIEPA)”, consisting of 2 questions, were used as data collection tools.  As a result of the self-assessment of the 'What is the boy in the drawing doing?' in the 'DB' test of the 22 individuals with MD and ADHD risk by the 3 Picture Analyzer, it was concluded that most of the boys talked to the girl; a few of them touched or kissed the girl. As a result of the 'DG' self-assessment tests, most of the results were obtained in which the girl in the drawing sat and talked with her lover; a few of the results were obtained in which the girl in the drawing met with men and dressed up. When the different views of the same test were analyzed, the following results were obtained: 10 of the participants of the “with whom do they live” view were in boarding school (with a girl and a boy friend), and the result of the “do they know each other?” view showed that the girl and the boy knew each other and most of the reasons for knowing each other were dating. 6 of the participants drew the drawings in accordance with the 'DB' and 'DG' guidelines. However, it was determined that the drawing was against privacy education.
