Title

NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN MARRIED WOMEN FOR DESIGNED EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM TO PREVENT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN AHVAZ

Pages

  88-100

Abstract

 Introduction: Violence against WOMEN is an urgent health priority in Iran. Designing effective programs for preventing and controlling the problem necessitates a thorough understanding of Iranian WOMEN and their perspectives regarding DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. This study was aimed at exploring the DOMESTIC VIOLENCE-related views of married WOMEN who were referred to health care facilities in Ahvaz, Iran.Methods: In this qualitative research, data were collected through four focus group discussions with 30 married WOMEN. All the discussions were recorded and transcribed, after which the data were classified separately. The main themes and sub-themes were then manually derived from the data and analyzed.Results: The five main themes identified were DOMESTIC VIOLENCE against WOMEN in Ahvaz, behavioral influencing factors, non-behavioral influencing factors, the necessity to empower WOMEN to prevent DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, and recommendations for developing special training programs for Ahvazi WOMEN. Most of the participants were aware that DOMESTIC VIOLENCE against WOMEN is a common occurrence in Iran. They were well aware of the definition of violence and expressed a belief that behavioral factors exert an important effect on the occurrence of the problem. They recommended the development of appropriate training programs that empower WOMEN to prevent the problem, the use of mass media to educate citizens about DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, and the involvement of opinion leaders in eliminating the taboo against considering such violence a crime against Iranian WOMEN.Conclusion: Considering the views and ideas of WOMEN as consumers of educational services is a principle used to develop effective programs for preventing and controlling DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. As indicated by the findings, the participants believe that empowering WOMEN must be treated as a priority in the Iranian health care system. However, they recommended differing approaches and methods of empowerment on the basis of their individual views and concerns.
