Investigation of the Transtheoretical Model a Woman Who Exposed to Domestic Violence: A Case Report

Abstract

Domestic violence against women is an ongoing universal question. The case presented in the study is a 33-year-old housewife with a university degree. S. has been exposed to domestic violence by his wife for almost four years. With the empowerment of S., the Transtheoretical Model was applied in order to be able to say "stop". A total of 6 interviews were conducted with S. Each interview lasted about an hour. The first four interviews were performed at intervals of one week. The fifth interview was held one month after the fourth interview and the last one was six months after the fifth interview. The application lasted for 10 months. In the first interview, it was determined that S. was at the intention stage. After the fourth meeting after the change processes applied to the change stages, S. went to the preparation stage and in the fifth interview to the action stage. In the last meeting, it was determined that S. was in the maintenance phase. It is thought that the use of the Transtheoretical Model in women who are subjected to domestic violence will be effective in planning and implementing appropriate interventions and evaluating women’s empowerment in stopping violence.

Aile İçi Şiddete Uğrayan Bir Kadının Değişim Modeli’ne Göre İncelenmesi: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Aile içi şiddet, günümüzde devam eden evrensel bir sorundur. Çalışmada sunulan olgu S., 33 yaşında, üniversite mezunu bir ev hanımıdır. S. yaklaşık dört yıldır eşi tarafından aile içi şiddete maruz kalmaktadır. S.’nin güçlendirilmesi ile şiddete "dur" diyebilmesi amacıyla Değişim Modeli uygulanmıştır. S. ile toplam 6 görüşme yapılmıştır. S.’nin evinde yapılan her bir görüşme, yaklaşık 1 saat sürmüştür. İlk dört görüşme bir hafta aralıklarla yapılmıştır. Beşinci görüşme, dördüncü görüşmeden bir ay sonra ve son görüşme ise beşinci görüşmeden altı ay sonra yapılmıştır. Uygulama toplam 10 ay sürmüştür. Yapılan ilk görüşmede S.’nin niyet aşamasında olduğu saptanmıştır. Değişim aşamalarına yönelik uygulanan değişim süreçleri (bilişsel ve davranışsal süreçler) sonrasında yapılan dördüncü görüşmeden sonra S., hazırlık aşamasına ve beşinci görüşmede ise eylem aşamasına geçmiştir. Son görüşmede ise S.’nin sürdürme aşamasında olduğu saptanmıştır. Aile içi şiddete uğrayan kadınlarda Değişim Modeli’nin kullanılmasının, kadının güçlendirilerek şiddeti durdurmasında uygun süreçlerin planlanması, müdahalelerin uygulanması ve değerlendirmesinde etkili olacağı düşünülmektedir.
