The state of women who are victims of intimate partner violence is denoted by the word 'battered'. Such atrocities against women have become a rampant issue in India, with appalling physical, sexual, emotional, psychological, and economic consequences. The quality of life is significantly low among women around the world as the levels of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms have been found in 55-92% of women with a history of battering. The present study aims to develop and examine the efficacy of a self-supportive intervention on post-traumatic stress symptoms and quality of life among battered wives in Madhya Pradesh, India. This intervention aims to reduce the level of post-traumatic stress symptoms and increase the quality of life among battered wives based on mindfulnessbased cognitive theory, and emotional processing theory. Posttraumatic Symptom Scale Instruments Version for DSM-5 (PSS-I-5) and WHO Quality of Life-Bref (WHOQOL) will be utilized as assessment tools. This study will make use of a mixed research method. The current study will be executed based on the main three elements of Conklin's (1997) 'program development model'; namely, (1) planning, (2) design and implementation, and (3) evaluation of the newly created program (SSI).

Abstract


The state of women who are victims of intimate partner violence is denoted by the word 'battered'. Such atrocities against women have become a rampant issue in India, with appalling physical, sexual, emotional, psychological, and economic consequences. The quality of life is significantly low among women around the world as the levels of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms have been found in 55-92% of women with a history of battering. The present study aims to develop and examine the efficacy of a self-supportive intervention on post-traumatic stress symptoms and quality of life among battered wives in Madhya Pradesh, India. This intervention aims to reduce the level of post-traumatic stress symptoms and increase the quality of life among battered wives based on mindfulnessbased cognitive theory, and emotional processing theory. Posttraumatic Symptom Scale Instruments Version for DSM-5 (PSS-I-5) and WHO Quality of Life-Bref (WHOQOL) will be utilized as assessment tools. This study will make use of a mixed research method. The current study will be executed based on the main three elements of Conklin's (1997) 'program development model'; namely, (1) planning, (2) design and implementation, and (3) evaluation of the newly created program (SSI).
