Şiddete Maruz Kalan Kadınlara Uygulanan Güçlendirme Programının Kendilik Değerini Artırmaya ve Stresle Başetme Biçimlerine Etkisi
Özet
The
research was carried out as a pre-test, post-test, follow-up patterned and kontrol
group intervention research to assess the effect of empowerment program on selfesteem
and coping ways of women exposed to violence. Sixty women exposed to
violence and accepting to take part in the study constituted the intervention and
kontrol groups of the study. The study was conducted in two phases. In the first
phase of the study qualitative data on violenceperception and experiences of women
were collected through semi-structured interviews. Empowerment program was
carried out in the two phase of the study. Each session of the empowerment program
taking place totally 10 weeks, was carried out in Giresun Family Counseling Center
for 90 minutes. Data was collected with Questionnaire, Coopersmith Self-Esteem
Scale, Learned Helplessness Attributional Style Questionnaire, Rosenbaum Learned
Resourcefulness and The Ways of Coping Inventory. One way variance analysis in
repeated measures and content analysis were used for statistical analysis. Qualitative
data were grouped into five main themes. These are “to see all forms of violence”,
“everything is excuse for violence”, “forgetting femininity”, “having to continue her
marriage” and “to have to do certain behaviors to experience less violence”. Mean
scores of self-esteem and learned resourcefulness of women increased significantly
in post-test and follow-up (p<0.05). Mean scores of self confident, optimistic and
social support seeking approach in The Ways of Coping Inventory increased
significantly, unconfident and submissive approach scores decreased significantly
(p<0.05). Empowerment program wasn’t effective on learned helplessness scores of
them (p>0.05). In the direction of these findings, the implementation of
empowerment programmes for women exposed to violence were suggested.
