Purpose: This study was conducted to explore women’s experiences with domestic violence crises and needs of services.
Methods: Data were collected using focus group interviews. Three focus group interviews were held with 16 victims of domestic violence in a shelter. All interviews were recorded and transcribed as they were spoken, and data were analyzed using Morgan & Krueger's four step analysis.
Results: The results of this study were as follows: Four categories of crisis were perceived by victims of domestic violence, fear of death, possibility of suicide and murder, despair, facing forlorn positions when seeking help. Services that were needed for victims of domestic violence were classified into four categories: securing personal safety, providing active assistance to victims by first contact, providing information on helping facilities, continuous and preventive support.
Conclusion: The results presented herein provide an opportunity to understand women who have experienced domestic violence, to recognize what type of crisis they are experiencing and to determine what help they need in a crisis situation.
