Abstract

The research was conducted to evaluate the perceptions of life satisfaction and social support of sheltered battered women.

The sample of the descriptive study consists of 84 women who have suffered violence in two women shelter in a province in Turkey. The data were collected using the “Introductive Information Form”, “Life Satisfaction Scale” and “Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale”. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test and Pearson correlation analysis were used in the evaluation of the data.

The average age of the women participating in the study was 21.05 ± 9.25. 60.7 %of women are married, 94.0 %do not work, and 60.7 %have been found to have poor economic situation. 76.2 %of women stated that they have been subjected to violence in the past and 100 %have recently been subjected to violence. It was revealed that 53.6 %had violence from his wife and 25.0 % experienced psychological, physical and economic violence together. Women's Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS) total average score was 7.02 ± 2.67 and the total score of the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (MPSSS) was 25.88 ± 11.02. It was found that there was a positive significant significant relationship between LSS and MPSSS score. It has been determined that there was a significant difference between the average of women whom women are exposed to violence and the average of the sub-dimension score of the MPSSS (p <0.05).

It has been concluded that the life satisfaction and social support perceptions of women exposed to violence are low. It has been found that increasing the perception of social support increases the life satisfaction of women. In this respect, revealing women's social support resources is important to increase their satisfaction with life.
