INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE IN THE ELDERLY WOMEN, RISK FACTORS, COPING STRATEGIES AND HEALTH CONSEQUENCES: A QUALITATIVE STUDY

Öz:

Giriş: Aile içi şiddet, yaşlı kadınlar için fiziksel, cinsel ve psikolojik zararlara neden olan, küresel bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Gereç ve Yöntem: Niteliksel çalışma, yaşlı kadınların aile içi yaşadıkları şiddet deneyimleri, risk faktörleri, baş etme yaklaşımları, ve aile içi şiddetin sağlık sonuçlarını ortaya koyabilmek amacıyla, huzurevinde yaşayan geçmişte aile içi şiddet mağduru 8 yaşlı kadın ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmada ses kaydı yapılarak odak grup görüşme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Veri analizinde kalitatif içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Yapılan odak grup görüşmelerinde, yaşlı kadınların şiddet olarak daha çok fiziksel, sözel, duygusal şiddete maruz kaldıkları, şiddet karşında genellikle sessiz kalmayı tercih ettikleri, sabrettikleri, Allaha sığındıkları ve şiddetten uzun vadede psikolojik olarak etkilendikleri görüldü. Yaşlı kadınların aile içi şiddeti yaşama nedenleri ve risk faktörleri arasında küçük yaşta evlenme, ekonomik durum, cinsiyet rolleri, geleneksel yapı, dini inançlar ve değerler belirgin olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Sonuç: Yaşlı kadınların aile içi şiddetten önemli derecede etkilendiği, geleneksel yapı nedeniyle şiddete tepki vermedikleri ve şiddet ile inançları yoluyla başettikleri görülmektedir. Hemşirelerin, huzurevinde yaşlı kadınları şiddete uğrama yönünden değerlendirmesi önerilir.

Introduction: Intimate partner violence is a global public health problem that causes physical, sexual and psychological harm to elderly women. Materials and Method: The present qualitative study was conducted on 8 elderly women living at a nursing home, who were the victims of IPV in the past. The aim of the current study was to reveal the health consequences of their experiences of intimate partner violence, its risk factors and their coping strategies. Focus group interview method was used in our study. Qualitative content analysis method was employed as a data analysis method. Results: In the focus group interviews, it was observed that elder women were mostly exposed to physical, verbal, emotional violence and that they generally decided to remain silent against the violence, showed patience, took refuge in God, and they were affected psychologically in the long term. Marriage at a young age, economic status, gender roles, and traditional structure, religious believes and values appear as significant risk factors for intimate partner violence in elderly women. Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that elderly women have been considerably affected by domestic violence. However, these women did not react to violence due to traditional social structure and tried to cope with it through religion. It is suggested that nurses should evaluate elderly women at nursing home in terms of intimate partner violence.
