Background: Violence by intimate partners is a serious public health problem that negatively affects women’s physical, emotional, and social well-being. In Turkey, factors such as traditional gender roles, economic inequalities, and cultural norms contribute to the continuation of this form of violence. Understanding how such experiences influence women’s psychological strength is essential for effective support and prevention strategies. Aim: This study aims to determine the relationship between domestic violence against women, the factors affecting it, and levels of psychological resilience among women in Turkey. Patients and Methods: We conducted this research with 425 women residing in Tunceli, Turkey. In this cross-sectional, relational study, data were collected using a personal information form, the Violence Against Women Scale (SVAWS), and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). The relationship between scores obtained from the scales was determined through correlation and linear regression analyses. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was calculated to assess the reliability of the scales. Results: The average age of the women who participated in the study was 41.22 ± 12.93 years. Approximately one in four women (24.5%) experienced violence, with the primary reasons for violence being financial problems (40.4%) and issues caused by family members of the couple (28.8%). A significant negative correlation was found between the SVAWS and BRS scores (r = −0.228, P < 0.01). Additionally, there was a significant negative relationship between all subdimensions of the violence scale and psychological resilience. Conclusion: The study found that as the level of violence experienced by women increased, their level of psychological resilience decreased.

BACKGROUND/AIM: The COVID-19 pandemic has created a long period of stress for people worldwide and has significantly affected sleep duration. The pandemic revealed new stress factors that are likely to affect sleep. Uncertainty is a factor that leads to anxiety and depression, which affects sleep. It should also be noted that reductions in sleep quality rather than sleep duration are associated with negative consequences on mental health. This study aims to investigate online that how this situation affected university students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research, with a descriptive study design, was conducted in Turkey between June 01, 2021 and July 30, 2021. The sample included 604 people who accepted voluntary participation, chosen by the random selection method. In the study, sociodemographic information form, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), morningness-eveningness questionnaire scale (MEQ Scale), Beck depression inventory (BDI), and Beck anxiety inventory (BAI) were used as data collection tools. Pearson correlation analysis was utilized to examine the relationship between the scales. Multiple regression analysis was performed to investigate the role of morningness-eveningness, anxiety, depression, and insomnia severity on sleep quality. RESULTS: Sleep quality was negatively correlated with morningness-eveningness scores (r = -0.32, P < 0.01), and positively and significantly related with anxiety (r = 0.43, P < 0.01), depression (r = 0.40, P < 0.01) and insomnia severity (r = 0.55, P < 0.01). According to regression coefficients, while anxiety (β = 0.041, P < 0.001) and insomnia severity scores (β = 0.226, P < 0.001) positively predicted sleep quality, depression did not predict it significantly (β = 0.009, P > 0.05). A significant difference was found in sleep quality according to morning, evening, and intermediate types (F = 27.401, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Events related to the COVID-19 pandemic are associated with reduced sleep quality in connection with increasing negative moods. Considering the importance of sleep for a healthy life, efforts should be made to raise awareness about this issue and to provide psychological help to affected individuals.
