This study aims to compare the depression levels and the frequency of domestic violence cases with the parameters that can alter those levels and frequencies. Studies on people living in quarantine conditions at home during the Covid 19 Pandemic show that violence has increased. However, the literature shows lack of similar studies in Turkey. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a research on the connection between domestic violence, depression level and the Covid-19 pandemic. The sample group consists of 689 people living in different cities of Turkey. To collect the data Demographic Information Form, Covid 19 Pandemic Information Form and Beck Depression Inventory were employed. The rate of the participants who stated that violence, anger and arguments increased in the family is 28%. The rate of those who stated that they were exposed to emotional violence during this process is 11.5%. The mean depression level of all participants included in the study is 14.05. The findings show that the level of depression and domestic violence cases increased during the Covid process. It is a necessity to develop long-term inclusive approaches and policies to prevent the increased domestic violence during an epidemic and to improve the psychological health of people.
本研究旨在比较抑郁水平和家庭暴力案件的频率，以及可能改变这些水平和频率的参数。在新冠疫情期间，对居家隔离人群的研究表明，暴力行为有所增加。然而，文献表明土耳其缺乏类似的研究。因此，有必要研究家庭暴力、抑郁水平与新冠疫情之间的关系。样本组由 689 名居住在土耳其不同城市的人组成。为了收集数据，采用了人口统计学信息表、新冠疫情信息表和贝克抑郁量表。有 28%的参与者表示，在家庭中暴力、愤怒和争吵有所增加。有 11.5%的参与者表示，在此过程中他们遭受了情感暴力。纳入研究的所有参与者的平均抑郁水平为 14.05。研究结果表明，在新冠疫情期间，抑郁水平和家庭暴力案件有所增加。有必要制定长期包容的方法和政策，以防止疫情期间家庭暴力的增加，并改善人们的心理健康。
