The Effect of Reproductive Violence Education Given to Women on Perception of Violence, Conflict Resolution Styles and Awareness of Violence: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study was planned as a methodological and randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effects of reproductive violence education given to women on women's perceptions of violence. H0a: There is no difference in the perception levels of reproductive violence between women who were given and those who were not given reproductive violence education.

H1a: There is a difference in the perception levels of reproductive violence between women who were given and those who were not given reproductive violence education.

H0b: There is no difference in the conflict resolution styles and violence awareness levels between women who were given and those who were not given reproductive violence education.

H1b: There is a difference in the conflict resolution styles and violence awareness levels between women who were given and those who were not given reproductive violence education.

In the second phase of the study, 4 hours of reproductive violence education will be given to women in the intervention group and brochures on reproductive violence will be distributed. The education will be held in the meeting hall of Hamidiye Faculty of Health Sciences in the form of a powerpoint presentation and case discussion. Before the training, the "Informed Consent Form", "Introductory Information Form", "Reproductive Violence Perception Form/Scale" and "Conflict and Violence Awareness Scale" will be applied to the intervention group. After the training, the "Reproductive Violence Perception Form/Scale" and "Conflict and Violence Awareness Scale" will be applied. As a follow-up test, the "Reproductive Violence Perception Form/Scale" and "Conflict and Violence Awareness Scale" will be applied after 4-6 weeks.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Introductory Information Form	Women's age, socio-demographic characteristics, parameters related to violence are questioned. It will be created based on literature.	Baseline (10 mn)
Reproductive Violence Perception Form	It includes questions about physical, psychological, economic, sexual and emotional violence during the reproductive period.	Baseline (10 mn)
Conflict and violence awareness scale (CVV)	It was developed by the Ohio Education Commission in 2002 and its validity and reliability study was conducted by Sargin in 2010. CSFQ, which can be applied to adolescents and adults, is a five-point scale containing 27 categorical symptom items. (1. Strongly disagree, 2. Disagree, 3. Partially agree, 4. Agree, 5. Strongly agree). There is no reversed item. The high score obtained from the total of the items in the scale indicates that the individual has a high level of awareness regarding conflict and violence. The min-max score range of the CSFQ scale is 27-135. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.87.	Baseline (10 mn)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Reproductive Violence Perception Form	It includes questions regarding physical, psychological, economic, sexual and emotional violence applied during the reproductive period.	Post-test after training (10 mn)

The min-max score range of the CSFQ scale is 27-135. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.87.	Post-test after training (10 mn)
