SUPPORTING AND HINDERING FACTORS FOR FAMILY SITUATIONS WHEN ADDRESSING VIOLENCE IN COUPLE RELATIONSHIPS
Abstract
Background: The issue of violence in couple relationships is perceived from the perspective of integrative ecological model, while family situation is considered one of multilateral phenomena influencing women’s strategies when addressing violence in couple relationships. Methods: The objective of the paper is to describe a typical situation in a family where violence is present in couple relationships. As many as 44 women participated in the research, aged 22 – 65. Most of them reached secondary education and almost 60% of them were divorced. Most of them worked full-time, two of them were on retirement pension. Two of them were childless. The data was collected with help of a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview and further processed by the method of qualitative thematic analysis, based on the phenomenological approach. Results: The results show the supporting and hindering factors in family situations. The supporting factors are availability of one’s own housing, employment, good health, and good relationships beyond family. The hindering factors are unavailable and/or unstable housing, lack of finances, complicated access to shared finances, debt, execution, bad relationships in family and beyond, and bad health of family members. Conclusions: The results show that it is important to recognize the supporting and hindering factors in family situations not only when setting up the effective assistance provided by formal or informal helpers, but also when setting up effective strategies for public policies.
