Abstract (2. Language): 
Gender-based violence is being increasingly recognized as a major public health concern and a violation of basic human rights. This is not only a social problem but also a significant burden on the public health. We have determined the frequency of and factors affecting the violence against women in Konya in this study. This descriptive study was carried out at two primary health care units selected randomly between 15th January and 15th February 2005. We evaluated domestic violence among 405 cases. Women were asked about their socio-demographic characteristics and experiences about violence. The median age of the respondents was 32.0 (15-77) years. Eighty four (20.7%) of the women experienced violence at least once in their life. Low economic position was a significant factor contributing to the increase in violence against women (p=0.004). Whilst low education levels of husbands (p=0.040) and mothers (p=0.002) and high numbers of sibling (p=0.032) were significantly associated with violence, the woman's own education level was not a significant factor (p=0.850). The following feelings were statistically significant among battered women: disappointment with marriage (p<0.001), suicide idea (p<0.001), leaving home (p<0.001) and feeling insecure (p<0.001). Consequently, low economic position, low education levels of husbands and mothers and high numbers of offspring have been found as risk factors among battered women.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Cinsiyete dayalı şiddet giderek artan bir hızda büyük bir halk sağlığı problemi ve insan haklarının ihlali olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu sadece sosyal bir problem değil, aynı zamanda toplum sağlığı açısından da önemli bir sorundur. Bu çalışmada Konya'da kadına yönelik şiddet sıklığı ve etkileyen faktörleri araştırdık. Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu çalışma 15 Ocak-15 Şubat 2005 tarihlerinde randomize olarak seçilen 2 sağlık ocağında yapıldı. Aile içi şiddet 405 olguda değerlendirildi. Kadınlara sosyodemografik özellikleri ve şiddetle ilgili deneyimleri soruldu. Katılanların ortalama yaş değeri 32 (15-77) yıl idi. Kadınların 84'ü (%20.7) hayatları boyunca en az bir kez şiddete maruz kalmışlardı. Ekonomik seviyenin düşük olması kadına yönelik şiddeti artırıcı anlamlı bir faktördü (p=0.004). Eşlerin (p=0.040) ve annelerin (p=0.002) eğitim düzeyinin düşük olması ve kardeş sayısının fazlalığı (p=0.032) kadına karşı şiddette önemli iken, kadının kendi eğitim düzeyi anlamlı bir faktör değildi (p=0.850). Şiddete maruz kalan kadınlar arasında aşağıdaki duygulanımlar istatistiksel olarak anlamlı idi: evlilikten umduğunu bulamama (p<0.001), intihar düşüncesi (p<0.001), evi terk etme (p<0.001) ve kendini güvende hissetmeme (p<0.001). Sonuç olarak ekonomik durumun, eşlerin ve annelerin eğitim düzeyinin düşük olması ve çocuk sayısının fazlalığı şiddete maruz kalan kadınlarda risk faktörleri olarak bulundu.
