Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy-Based Intervention Program: The Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy-Based Intervention Program is based on IPR and developed with reference to relevant literature and a previously published study (Cort et all., 2014). Subsequent to the development of the program, a series of expert opinions were obtained from seven specialists in the field. The Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy-Based Intervention Program is a 2.5-3 month program comprising eight individual sessions. The program is designed to be administered on a weekly basis, with each session lasting approximately 45-60 minutes. The participants in this group will receive an Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy Based Intervention Programme, which consists of eight individual sessions.

Study summary

This interventional study aims to examine the impact of the Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy-Based Intervention Program on the psychosocial well-being of female victims of intimate partner violence.

The main questions to be answered are the following:

1. Is the Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy-Based Intervention Program effective on the interpersonal problems of female victims of intimate partner violence?
2. Is the Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy-Based Intervention Program effective on the mental well-being of female victims of intimate partner violence?

The study will include eight individual interviews using a variety of data collection forms.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Inventory of Interpersonal Problems Circumplex Scales (IIP-C) — The scale will be administered during the second individual interview of the intervention phase.
  The scale was developed by Alden and colleagues for the purpose of assessing interpersonal functioning in the context of personal stress and difficulties. The scale employs a 5-point Likert-type response format, comprising a total of 32 items that assess various domains of interpersonal functioning. The scale comprises eight subscales, each comprising four items. Higher scores on the total scale and its constituent subscales indicate elevated levels of interpersonal stress and the presence of specific interpersonal difficulties. The Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Akyunus and Gencoz (2016), and the total scale Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.86. The scale has been demonstrated to possess sufficient validity and reliability to be employed in research on interpersonal attitudes and behaviours in Turkey and in clinical applications.
• Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) — The scale will be administered during the second individual interview of the intervention phase.
  The scale was developed by Tennant and colleagues as a means of measuring the mental well-being levels of individuals. The scale employs a 5-point Likert scale, with a minimum score of 14 and a maximum score of 70. The scale is scored according to the following key: 1=strongly disagree, 2=disagree, 3=somewhat agree, 4=agree, 5=strongly agree. The scale comprises 14 items, with higher scores indicative of elevated levels of psychological well-being. The reliability of the scale was evaluated in studies conducted with individuals aged 16 and above. The Cronbach alpha coefficient for the scale was found to be 0.89. The test-retest reliability coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.83. The Turkish reliability and validity study of the scale was conducted by Keldal (2015). The Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency reliability coefficient of the Turkish version of the scale was found to be 0.92.
• Inventory of Interpersonal Problems Circumplex Scales (IIP-C) — The scale will be administered at the close of the eighth session.
