The current cross-sectional study was performed to examine levels of alexithymia and forgiveness in forensic psychiatric patients. Data were collected between March 2022 and August 2022 at a high-security forensic psychiatric hospital affiliated with a city hospital in Turkey. A personal information form prepared by the researchers, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, and the Heartland Forgiveness Scale were used to obtain data. Participants comprised 132 forensic psychiatric patients who agreed to participate in the study. A significant negative correlation was found between alexithymia and forgiveness levels of participants ( < 0.01, = -0.259). In other words, as alexithymia levels increased, participants were found to be less forgiving. In addition, results suggest that forensic psychiatric patients are susceptible to alexithymia and higher levels of forgiveness. Determining forgiveness and alexithymia levels of forensic psychiatric patients will contribute to the structuring of care to be offered to these patients. [(6), 27-35.].
本横断面研究旨在探讨法医精神病患者的述情障碍和宽恕水平。数据于 2022 年 3 月至 2022 年 8 月在土耳其一家城市医院附属的高度安全法医精神病院收集。研究人员使用了一份由研究人员编制的个人信息表、多伦多述情障碍量表和中心宽恕量表来获取数据。参与者包括 132 名同意参加研究的法医精神病患者。研究发现，参与者的述情障碍和宽恕水平呈显著负相关（<0.01，= -0.259）。换句话说，随着述情障碍水平的升高，参与者被发现不太宽容。此外，结果表明，法医精神病患者容易出现述情障碍和更高水平的宽恕。确定法医精神病患者的宽恕和述情障碍水平将有助于为这些患者提供护理结构。[（6），27-35]。
