A study conducted in Tunceli, Turkey, reveals a concerning link between domestic violence and women’s psychological resilience. Out of 425 women surveyed, approximately 24.5% reported experiencing violence, primarily due to financial issues (40.4%) and conflicts involving family members (28.8%). The research utilized the Violence Against Women Scale and the Brief Resilience Scale to assess the impact of domestic violence on women’s mental strength. Findings indicated a significant negative correlation between experiences of violence and levels of psychological resilience, with a correlation coefficient of -0.228 (P < 0.01). As the intensity of violence increased, the psychological resilience of the women decreased. This underscores the need for effective support and prevention strategies to address the factors contributing to intimate partner violence in Turkey. The study highlights the importance of understanding the psychological effects of domestic violence to enhance women’s well-being.
