Aim: This study was performed to determine the prevalence of and risk factors for domestic violence against women in Turkey.
Background: The data about domestic violence against women point out a serious problem all around the world along with including cultural differences.
Design: The prevalence of domestic violence against women was determined through a meta-analysis, and the risk factors were determined through a systematic review. A systematic search of eight electronic databases was conducted. In this study, 34 primary studies that were published between January 2000 and January 2015 were examined.
Results: The highest prevalence belonged to verbal violence followed by physical, emotional, economic, and sexual violence. Despite different questioning methods, it was determined that 22 risk factors were most commonly examined in the studies, and these risk factors were summed up under three separate categories: socio demographical characteristics, well-being related characteristics and marriage related characteristics. It is of further interest that the most commonly examined characteristics were socio demographic characteristics.
Conclusion: Just as throughout the world, domestic violence is a common problem in Turkey.
Relevance To Clinical Practice: Nurses and midwives should focus not only on women's disorders but also on the difficulties the patient faces in regard to being a family. It presents valid evidence to produce policies on violence prevention.
