This interventional study aims to examine the impact of the Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy-Based Intervention Program on the psychosocial well-being of female victims of intimate partner violence.
The main questions to be answered are the following:
1. Is the Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy-Based Intervention Program effective on the interpersonal problems of female victims of intimate partner violence? 2. Is the Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy-Based Intervention Program effective on the mental well-being of female victims of intimate partner violence?
The study will include eight individual interviews using a variety of data collection forms.
Proficiency in the Turkish language, including the ability to speak and understand it.
Exposure to any form of violence perpetrated by an intimate partner.
Exposure to violence by an individual other than an intimate partner for the purpose of maintaining group homogeneity.
Presence of sensory loss, including but not limited to hearing and vision.
Physical injury and/or disability resulting from violence that precludes participation in the intervention program.
Diagnosis of schizophrenia spectrum disorders and other psychotic disorders.

Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy-Based Intervention Program
BehavioralThe Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy-Based Intervention Program is based on IPR and developed with reference to relevant literature and a previously published study (Cort et all., 2014). Subsequent to the development of the program, a series of expert opinions were obtained from seven specialists in the field. The Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy-Based Intervention Program is a 2.5-3 month program comprising eight individual sessions. The program is designed to be administered on a weekly basis, with each session lasting approximately 45-60 minutes. The participants in this group will receive an Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy Based Intervention Programme, which consists of eight individual sessions.
Inventory of Interpersonal Problems Circumplex Scales (IIP-C)
The scale was developed by Alden and colleagues for the purpose of assessing interpersonal functioning in the context of personal stress and difficulties. The scale employs a 5-point Likert-type response format, comprising a total of 32 items that assess various domains of interpersonal functioning. The scale comprises eight subscales, each comprising four items. Higher scores on the total scale and its constituent subscales indicate elevated levels of interpersonal stress and the presence of specific interpersonal difficulties. The Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Akyunus and Gencoz (2016), and the total scale Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.86. The scale has been demonstrated to possess sufficient validity and reliability to be employed in research on interpersonal attitudes and behaviours in Turkey and in clinical applications.
Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS)
The scale was developed by Tennant and colleagues as a means of measuring the mental well-being levels of individuals. The scale employs a 5-point Likert scale, with a minimum score of 14 and a maximum score of 70. The scale is scored according to the following key: 1=strongly disagree, 2=disagree, 3=somewhat agree, 4=agree, 5=strongly agree. The scale comprises 14 items, with higher scores indicative of elevated levels of psychological well-being. The reliability of the scale was evaluated in studies conducted with individuals aged 16 and above. The Cronbach alpha coefficient for the scale was found to be 0.89. The test-retest reliability coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.83. The Turkish reliability and validity study of the scale was conducted by Keldal (2015). The Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency reliability coefficient of the Turkish version of the scale was found to be 0.92.

Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)
It is a self-report scale designed to assess vegetative, emotional, cognitive, and motivational symptoms of depression. The scale items are presented on a 4-point Likert scale, with responses ranging from "not at all" to "very much" (0-3). The scale comprises 21 items, and it has been suggested that a score of 17 or above may be indicative of above-normal depression. A study of the validity and reliability of the scale in a Turkish cultural context was conducted by Hisli (1989) with a sample of university students. The original version of the scale exhibited a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.92, while the Turkish version demonstrated a coefficient of 0.80.

Intervention Program Evaluation Form
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention program, the researcher employed a 5-point Likert-type scale (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = undecided, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree), based on self-report and aligned with the content of the intervention program. It is intended that each participant in the intervention group will complete the form at the post-test and follow-up test.
