Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, şiddete maruz kalan kadınlarla sosyal hizmet müdahalelerinde çözüm odaklı yaklaşımın uygulanabilirliğini ve etkinliğini incelemektir. Çalışma, kadınların güçlü yönlerini, öz kaynaklarını ve başa çıkma stratejilerini harekete geçirerek, şiddet döngüsünden uzaklaşmalarını sağlamak ve sürdürülebilir bir iyilik hali oluşturmalarına katkıda bulunmayı hedeflemektedir. Ayrıca, çözüm odaklı yaklaşımın teorik temelleri, postmodern paradigma ile güçlendirme ve kişi merkezli bakış açılarıyla ilişkilendirilerek, sosyal hizmet müdahalelerinde kadınların güvenli, bağımsız ve şiddetten uzak bir gelecek inşa etmelerine nasıl rehberlik edebileceği analiz edilmektedir. Çözüm odaklı yaklaşım, sorunlar, patoloji veya teşhis yerine çözümlere ve geleceğe odaklanan bir yöntemdir. Bu yaklaşım, belirli teknikleri içermekle birlikte, müracaatçının kendi kaynaklarını ve baş etme stratejilerinin kullanmasını esas alır. Postmodern paradigma temeli, güçlendirme ve kişi merkezli bakış açısı bulunan yaklaşımın sosyal hizmette kullanılan diğer kuram ve yaklaşımlarla da kesişen bazı özellikleri bulunmaktadır. Alana ilişkin literatür çalışmaları incelendiğinde travma alanındaki çalışmalarda çözüm odaklı yaklaşımın kullanılabildiği ve etkili sonuçlar alındığı ancak şiddete maruz kalan kadınlar için özellikle sosyal hizmet alanındaki çalışmalarda henüz yeni gündeme geldiği görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın, şiddete maruz kalan kadınlarla gerçekleştirilen sosyal hizmet müdahalelerinde çözüm odaklı yaklaşımın kullanımına ilişkin ulusal literatüre önemli bir katkı sunacağı ve kadın çalışmaları alanındaki saha uygulamalarına entegrasyonu konusunda farkındalık oluşturacağı öngörülmektedir. Yaklaşımın sosyal hizmetteki saha çalışmalarında kullanılarak etki ve etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi önerilmektedir.

The Use Of Solution-Focused Approach In Social Work With Women Subjected To Violence

Öz

The primary aim of this study is to examine the applicability and effectiveness of the solution-focused approach in social work interventions with women subjected to violence. The study aims to activate women's strengths, resources, and coping strategies to help them break free from the cycle of violence and achieve sustainable well-being. Additionally, the theoretical foundations of the solution-focused approach are analyzed in relation to the postmodern paradigm, empowerment, and person-centered perspectives to explore how it can guide women in building a safe, independent, and violence-free future within social work interventions.
The solution-focused approach emphasizes solutions and future-oriented outcomes rather than focusing on problems, pathology, or diagnoses. While incorporating specific techniques, it primarily relies on clients' ability to utilize their own resources and coping strategies. The approach shares intersecting features with other theories and methods used in social work, particularly through its foundations in the postmodern paradigm, empowerment perspective, and person-centered orientation.
A review of the literature reveals that the solution-focused approach has been applied effectively in trauma-related studies; however, its use in social work, particularly with women subjected to violence, is a relatively new area of inquiry. This study is expected to make a significant contribution to the national literature regarding the use of the solution-focused approach in social work interventions with women subjected to violence. Moreover, it is anticipated to raise awareness about the integration of this approach into field practices in women's studies. Evaluating the impact and effectiveness of the solution-focused approach through its implementation in social work field practices is strongly recommended.
