Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between depression and domestic violence toward women.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out with 464 married women. A Descriptive Information Form, the Domestic Violence Scale and Beck Depression Inventory were used as the data collection instruments. In the statistical analysis, frequencies, percentages, means, ANOVA, t-test, correlation analysis and regression analysis were utilized.
Results: It was determined that the mean score for domestic violence of women was 42,58±15,96 and the mean score for depression was 10,32±8,92. There was a positive and significant relationship between domestic violence and depression (p=0.000). Factors such as the age of the woman and her spouse, status of being subjected to violence, employment status, educational level and form of marriage were determined as factors that were effective on domestic violence and depression.
Conclusions: It was determined that the level of domestic violence and depression levels of women were mild. In line with this result, it is necessary to create social policies regarding the problem of violence, develop awareness among healthcare professionals, and healthcare professionals need to take responsibility regarding violence in their professional lives.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma kadına yönelik aile içi şiddet ve depresyon arasındaki ilişkiyi saptamak amacıyla yapıldı.
Materyal ve Metot: Kesitsel tipte yapılan araştırma 464 evli kadın ile yürütüldü. Veri toplama aracı olarak kadınları tanıtıcı anket formu, aile içi şiddet ölçeği ve depresyon ölçeği kullanıldı. İstatistiksel analizde sayı, yüzde, ortalama, ANOVA, t testi, korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Kadınların aile içi şiddet puan ortalamasının 42,58±15,96 depresyon puan ortalamasının ise 10,32±8,92 olduğu belirlendi. Aile içi şiddet ile depresyon arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu saptandı (p=0,000). Kadının ve eşinin yaşı, şiddete maruz kalma durumu, çalışma durumu, eğitim düzeyi, evlenme şekli gibi faktörlerin aile içi şiddet ve depresyon üzerinde etkili değişkenler olduğu belirlendi.
Sonuç: Kadınların aile içi şiddet düzeyi ile depresyon seviyelerinin hafif düzeyde olduğu saptandı. Bu sonuç doğrultusunda şiddet sorununa yönelik sosyal politikaların oluşturulması, sağlık profesyonellerinde farkındalık geliştirilmesi ve sağlık profesyonellerinin mesleki yaşamlarında şiddete yönelik sorumluluk alması gerektiği öngörülmektedir.
