abstract="AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the experiences and views of married women about the topic of domestic violence. <br><br>METHODS: This research was planned as a mixed methods study with an in-depth interview and descriptive approach. The study was conducted between November 2011 and December 2012 with 24 married women living in Ankara, Turkey. Two main data-collection tools were used in the study: the &quot;Personal Information Form&quot; and the &quot;In-depth Interview Questionnaire.&quot; Data of this study were evaluated by content analysis. <br><br>RESULTS: A majority of the participants (83.3%) stated that they had been exposed to domestic violence that had been committed primarily by their husbands. The actual reasons for the violence were reported to be such factors as &quot;financial problems and lack of education and love and respect between the couples.&quot; It was determined that as the victims became more desperate, they turned to reading of the Koran, prayer, and smoking. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Domestic violence adversely affects the physical and mental health of individuals, families, and the entire community. Therefore, it will take a community effort to address the causes of domestic violence and to create viable solutions that will improve the health of everyone.<br><br>© 2017 John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
