Investigation of the Transtheoretical Model a Woman Who Exposed to Domestic Violence: A Case Report

Domestic violence against women is an ongoing universal question. The case presented in the study is a 33-year-old housewife with a university degree. S. has been exposed to domestic violence by his wife for almost four years. With the empowerment of S., the Transtheoretical Model was applied in order to be able to say "stop". A total of 6 interviews were conducted with S. Each interview lasted about an hour. The first four interviews were performed at intervals of one week. The fifth interview was held one month after the fourth interview and the last one was six months after the fifth interview. The application lasted for 10 months. In the first interview, it was determined that S. was at the intention stage. After the fourth meeting after the change processes applied to the change stages, S. went to the preparation stage and in the fifth interview to the action stage. In the last meeting, it was determined that S. was in the maintenance phase. It is thought that the use of the Transtheoretical Model in women who are subjected to domestic violence will be effective in planning and implementing appropriate interventions and evaluating women’s empowerment in stopping violence
