Özet:

 

We conducted this study to determine the attitudes of men living in the city of Kars, Turkey toward violence against women. This descriptive research was conducted from January 30, 2019 to March 30, 2019 in Family Practice Centers under the Kars Provincial Directorate of Health, Department of Public Health Services, and the Public Health Center. The study sample consisted of 380 male individuals. In data collection for the study, the “Sociodemographic Characteristics” form and “İSKEBE Scale of Attitudes Toward Violence Against Women” were used. Our study determined that men are against violence toward women. According to the findings, 43,9% of study participants had witnessed violence during childhood. We also found that attitudes toward violence against women were high in married, individuals aged 46 and above, men with primary school education and men who had witnessed violence during childhood. To combat violence against women, regular training and education should be provided to families and individuals by health personnel and experts in this field, non-governmental organizations and recognized religious leaders in the community. The goal of regular training and education of the public concerning the topic of domestic violence is to promote and protect the health of women and children and all members of society. In addition, programs should be developed which would support psychosocial and legal approaches for men who commit violence.
