In this study, researchers aimed to assess the situation of domestic violence against women during the pandemic. 332 women participated in the study. It was found that emotional, verbal and total violence scores of the literate ones were higher. The emotional violence scores of the women who do not work and whose partners do not work due to the pandemic are higher (p < 0.05). The researchers reached the conclusion that emotional violence is higher during the pandemic process, and that failing to work in an income-generating job triggers this situation.

İnfertilite nedeniyle bir bebeğe sahip olabilmek için çiftler çoğunlukla yardımcı üreme tedavilerine başvurmaktadır. Gebelik gerçekleştiği durumlarda, çiftler için gebeliğin anlamı mutlu ve keyifli bir süreç olsa da, infertilite tanısı ve tedavilerinin getirdiği yükle birlikte zorlu bir sürece dönüşebilmektedir. Özellikle kadınlar bu süreçte gebeliği kabullenememe, bebeğini kaybetme korkusu, bebeğin sağlığı konusunda endişelenme, belirsizlik gibi duygular yaşayabilmektedirler. İnfertilite tedavisi sonrası gebe kalan kadınların spontan gebeler arasında göz ardı edilebildiği bilinmektedir. Uluslararası literatürde niteliksel çalışmalarda yardımcı üreme tedavileri ile gebe kalan kadınların gebeliğe ve doğum sonu döneme kolayca uyum sağlamadığını göstermektedir. Bu derleme ile, infertilite tedavisi sonrası gebe kalan kadınların anne olma sürecinki deneyimleri kuramsal olarak incelenmiş ve analiz edilmiştir.

Family caregivers play a key role in meeting care needs of cancer patients. The aim of this review was to systematically examine life experiences of family caregivers of women with gynaecological cancer. A mixed-methods systematic review based on a retrospective review of the research on the topic was conducted. The review was limited to articles in English published between 1985 and 2014. The literature search was performed in CINAHL, Scopus, PubMed and ScienceDirect. A total of 16 full-text articles published in national and international journals were reviewed: 10 quantitative studies, 5 qualitative studies and 1 both qualitative and quantitative study. Of all caregivers with gynaecological cancer, 59% were partners, 27% were sons or daughters and 14% were brothers or sisters, mothers and friends. The qualitative research on caregivers' experiences revealed three themes: 'emotional devastation', 'change' and 'coping'. The family caregivers of women with gynaecological cancer had difficulty in areas examined, but the studies investigating caregivers' needs were limited to certain subjects and they were not solution-oriented. It is recommended that qualitative and quantitative studies including the solutions regarding family caregivers of women with gynaecological cancer should be integrated.
