Özet
The aims of the present study is to examine the relationship between anxiety, trauma perception and mental health. The subjects consisted of 284 university students, aged between 17-28 from the two different universities located in two different cities (Ankara and Aksaray) of Turkey. Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAS) and the Impact of Event Scale-Revised(IES-R) were used. The test battery formed in a mixed way to control the sequence influence in the application process. Then it was given to the participants in their classrooms of the universities. It was found that there are statistically significant relations between the score of the impact of event scale and brief symptom inventory scores. Regardless of what discipline ultimately working we are in, providers in mental health can help the young people who are hurting, and in the influences of some kinds of traumatic life events. The professionals empower the young people's personal growth and can give them psychological support to resolve their hardship through multidisciplinary team. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
