Abstract

Background: Measuring violence against women in an Iranian population and planning to control it requires an instrument meeting the cultural, social and religious norms of our society. This study follows a qualitative research aimed to design and assess a comprehensive questionnaire about the violence against women in an Iranian population. Materials and Methods: This study was a sequential exploratory mixed method. At first, 20 subjects were participated in deep semi-structured interviews and the reasons for violence were explored through their experiences. According to the results of the qualitative research and the revising of texts, the primitive instruments were designed. Face validity, content validity (by measuring content validity toward content validity index) and construct validity (by analysis of exploratory factor) were used to determine the validity of instruments. Therefore, internal consistency and test-retest method were used to determine reliability of instruments. Results: Ninety nine items were perceived as essential, relevant and comprehendible by both the experts and the community. Face and content validities were performed by quality and quantity methods, respectively. In face validity, 7 items were excluded due to a score less than 1. 5. In content validity by taking the 0. 79 cut-off point to assess content validity index and 0. 59 cut-off point to 34 items were eliminated. Thus, the number of items reduced to 58. Validity by exploratory factor analysis was performed. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a six-factor model items including: social factors undermining family stability, unhealthy life skills of couples, improper and insufficient teachings to couples, unhealthy treating of wives toward their husbands, family support paradox, immediacy. These six factors explained 75% of variance violence against women. Therefore, internal consistency and test-retest method were used to determine reliability of instruments (α =0. 987), (ICC=0. 992). Conclusion: Considering that all validity and reliability indexes of the questionnaire are reported in an appropriate level. violence against women’ questionnaire can be used as a valid and reliable questionnaire in measuring domestic violence in Iranian married men.
