Öğe Childhood Trauma, Type of Marriage and Self-Esteem as Correlates of Domestic Violence in Married Women in Turkey(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2010) Sahin, Nevin Hotun; Timur, Sermin; Ergin, Ayla Berkiten; Taspinar, Ayten; Balkaya, Nevin Akdolun; Cubukcu, SevdeThe aim of this study is to determine childhood trauma, the type of marriage, and level of self-esteem as correlates of domestic violence in married women in Turkey. The study sample consisted of 750 women aged 20 and over, selected through face to face interviews. Results More than half the women were exposed to domestic violence, which increases with factors like lower economic status, teenage and arranged marriages and a large number of children. According to the logistic regression model, arranged marriages, sexual problems and physical abuse during childhood lead to an increase in the occurrence of domestic violence, while this decreases as the partners age. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale scores were significantly lower in women subjected to domestic violence and this decrease became statistically significant as the level of abuse experienced during childhood increased.Öğe Effects of sleep disturbance on the quality of life of Turkish menopausal women: A population-based study(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2009) Timur, Sermin; Sahin, Nevin HotunObjectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate sleep disturbances among menopausal women: their prevalence, risk factors for them and the quality of life of women who have them. Design: A population-based sample of 887 Turkish women aged 45-59 years and living in Malatya was recruited in this cross-sectional descriptive study. The women were administered the Interview Form, which covers sociodemographic, health and lifestyle variables, as well as the Women's Health Initiative Insomnia Rating Scale, the Menopause Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory. Results: The prevalence of sleep disturbance in this sample of menopausal women was 54%. Logistic regression models revealed that the risk of sleep disturbance was 2.4 times higher in the perimenopausal than in the premenopausal period, 1.7 times higher among those who received hormone therapy than among those who did not, 1.5 times higher among those with a physical disease than among those without, and 3.9 times higher among those with depression than among those without; an increase of one year in age was associated with a 5% increase in the prevalence of sleep disturbance. Average scores on the vasomotor, psychosocial, physical and sexual sub-scales of the Menopause Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire were significantly higher for women with sleep disturbance than for those without (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The prevalence of sleep disturbance was found to be high among menopausal women. initiatives aimed at reducing sleep disturbance should be added to menopausal care programmes in order to improve the quality of life of menopausal women.
