Objective:
The study examined the effects of a transtheoretical model based training and counseling program on the stages of change, the decisions to avoid partner violence, and the self-efficacy of the victims of intimate partner violence.
Methods:
The study was planned as a single group pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design. Data were collected from 40 women from the Investigation Bureau of Violence Against Women in a courthouse in Turkey between September 2018 and June 2019. Personal questionnaire form, a tool to determine the type of intimate violence, Abused Women's Change Process Scales, telephone interview form, and semi-structured interview forms were used.
Results:
Informative training and a counseling program were offered to the women, who were then followed up for 6 months; the difference between the identified stages of change of the abused women before and after the intervention was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). The differences between the mean scores on the pros and cons scales and the Temptations and Confidence Scales before and after the training and counseling program for the victims of intimate partner violence were found to be significant (p < 0.01).
Conclusion:
Nurses can use sample training and counseling models in institutions where victims of violence apply.
