Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

When the statistics on violence against women in the world are analyzed, it is seen that 16-25% of women are physically abused by their husbands, boyfriends or fiancees, and one out of every five women is exposed to this type of violence in their own home. It has been concluded that the approaches applied in intervention studies for women exposed to violence affect women's mental health positively, increase their self-esteem, improve their coping, problem-solving and decision-making skills, reduce their anger and stress levels, and increase their self-efficacy. In addition, it has been determined that mindfulness-based interventions applied to women who have been subjected to violence strengthen awareness and self-compassion, improve sense of belonging, compassion and problem-solving skills, reduce self-blame, depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts, increase psychological well-being, and reduce PTSD symptoms. With the continuation of exposure to violence, women are insufficient to change their feelings and lives in a positive way, they are affected by the negative and judgmental attitudes of their environment, they struggle with all the negative effects of violence throughout their lives, they experience physical and mental disorders due to violence, and therefore they resort to harmful coping methods. In this sense, the aim of the study is to determine the effect of mindfulness-based empowerment program on self-compassion, self-esteem and ways of coping with stress in women exposed to violence.

The hypotheses of this study:

In the mindfulness-based empowerment program applied to women who have been subjected to violence, H0-1: There is no difference between the intervention group and the control group in terms of self-compassion.

H0-2: There is no difference between the intervention group and the control group in terms of self-esteem.

H0-3: There is no difference between the intervention group and the control group in terms of coping styles with stress.

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

The universe of the research will be the women who have been subjected to violence staying in women's shelters in a province in Turkey. Women who volunteer to participate in the study will be included in the study. As a result of the power analysis using the G\*Power 3.1 program; With 95% power, 5% margin of error and d=0.84 effect size, a total of at least 42 samples was found to be sufficient (n₁=21; n₂=21). However, considering that losses may also occur, it was planned to work with a total of 60 women, 30 of whom were interventions and 30 were controls. Women who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups, and at the same time, stratified block randomization will be performed (n₁= 30; n₂=30). The number of people in the group was determined as 10 for reasons such as keeping individuals active, increasing interactive working time, and providing more sharing opportunities.
