Women Victims of Violence: A Mental Health Survey in Sheltered Homes

The main purpose of this study is to analyze whether the scores of post traumatic stress disorder, trauma-related guilt and other psychological symptoms of women staying in shelters change with respect to the suicide attempts and to the type of violence that they experience. Also the study aim at to find the level of prediction of the scores of Brief Symptom Inventory subscales by the scores of post traumatic stress disorder, trauma-related guilt expected to be seen in the victims of violence.

The study involves 106 battered women. The data in the study are collected through using Impact of Event Scale-R (IES), Trauma Related Guilt Inventory (TRGI), and Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). In order to evaluate the differentiations of the scale scores at issue, from the type of violence experienced, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is applied.

Results indicate that scores of IES, TRGI and BSI subscales significantly differ with respect to the type of violence. Being exposed to all types of violence much increases the psychological symptoms. The differences of scale scores related to women's suicide attempts are analyzed through using the t-test, and it is observed that the scores of TRGI have not differed significantly with respect to the suicide attempts, but differed significantly with respect to the subscale scores of BSI and IES.

In accordance with the second aim of the study, regression analysis is conducted to investigate whether the scores of TRGI and IES predict the BSI/subscale scores of anxiety, depression, somatisation, negative self and hostility or not, and the results reveal that TRGI and IES scores predict the scale scores mentioned. Findings of the study are discussed within the framework of the related literature.

Arastirmada oncelikle siginma evinde kalan kadinlarin ugradigi siddetin turu ve intihar girisimlerine gore, travma sonrasi stres bozuklugu, travmaya bagli sucluluk ve diger psikolojik belirti puanlarinin degisip degismedigini incelemek amaclanmistir. Diger bir amac ise, siddet magdurlarinda gorulmesi beklenen travmaya bagli sucluluk puanlan ve travma sonrasi stres bozuklugunun Kisa Semptom Envanteri alt olcek puanlarini yordama gucunu belirlemektir. Calismada 106 siddet magduru kadinla calisilmistir. Calismanin verileri Olay Etkisi Olcegi (OEO-R), Travmaya Bagli Sucluluk Olcegi (TBSO) ve Kisa Semptom Envanteri (KSE) kullanilarak toplanmistir. Soz konusu olcek puanlarinin maruz kalman siddet turune gore farklarinin degerlendirilmesi icin, Tek Yonlu Varyans Analizi (ANOVA) uygulanmistir. Analiz sonuclari, OEO, TBSO ve KSE alt olcek puanlarinin siddet turlerine gore anlamli olarak farklilastigini gostermistir. Siddetin her turune maruz kalmak, psikolojik belirtileri daha da arttirmaktadir. Kadinlarin intihar girisimlerinin olup olmamasina iliskin olcek puanlari arasi farklar t-testi ile analiz edilmistir. TBSO puanlarinin, kadinlarin intihar girisimlerinin olup olmamasina gore anlamli olarak farklilasmadigi, ancak OEO ve KSE alt olcek puanlarina gore farklilastigi gozlenmistir, ikinci amac dogrultusunda, TBSO ve OEO puanlarinin, KSE/ Anksiyete, Depresyon, Somatizasyon, Olumsuz Benlik, Hostilite alt olcek puanlarini yordayip yordamadigini incelemek uzere regresyon analizi yapilmis ve sonuclar TBSO ile OEO puanlarinin sozu edilen olcek puanlarini yordadigini ortaya koymustur.
