ÖZET
 Amaç: Evlilikte kadına yönelik şiddet, kadının fiziksel ve psikolojik bütünlüğünde örselenmelere yol açan yaygın bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Şiddetin başlamasında ve sürmesinde etkili olan birtakım risk faktörleri söz konusudur. Bu risk faktörlerinin başında, evlilikte kadına yönelik şiddete ilişkin tutumlar gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada, evlilikte kadına yönelik şiddete ilişkin tutumların belirlenmesi ve tutumlar ile cinsiyet, eğitim durumu ve şiddet yaşantılarının ilişkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmanın örneklemini yaş aralığı 18-65 yıl olan evli erkek ve kadınlar oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcıların 250 (%56,2)'si kadın, 195 (%43,8)'i erkek olmak üzere toplam 445 kişidir. Örneklemin yaş ortalaması 38,55 (SD: 9,93) yıl'dır. Araştırmada, katılımcıların sosyodemografik bilgileri, şiddet yaşantı ve davranışları hakkında soruların yer aldığı 'görüşme formu' ve 'Evlilikte Kadına Yönelik Şiddete İlişkin Tutumlar Ölçeği' uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre erkekler şiddete daha çok tolerans gösterirken ayrılmaya karşı tutumları kadınlara oranla daha olumsuzdur. Eğitim durumunun artmasıyla birlikte şiddete gösterilen tolerans düşmekte, ayrılmaya ilişkin olumlu tutumlar ise artmaktadır. Erkek katılımcıların şiddet davranışları ve kadına yönelik şiddete ilişkin toleransları arasında pozitif; ayrılmaya ilişkin olumlu tutumlar arasında, fiziksel şiddet davranışı ile sınırlı olmak üzere, negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Kadınların şiddet yaşantıları ve tutumları arasında ise anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Sonuç: Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlar; cinsiyet, eğitim ve şiddet yaşantılarının evlilikte kadına yönelik şiddete ilişkin tutumlar ile ilişkili olduğunu gösterir niteliktedir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: Violence against women in marriage is a common public health issue which leads to psychological and physical traumas. There are some risk factors in occurrence and permanence of violence toward women. One of the main risk factors is the attitudes toward violence against women in marriages. The purposes of this study were to investigate the attitudes toward violence against women in marriage and to determine the relationship between education statue, gender, violence experiences and attitudes toward violence against women in marriage. Material and Methods: The sample of this study contained 445 married people between the ages of 18-65 by the proportions with 250 (56.2%) female, 195 (43.8%) male. The mean of the age was found 38.55 (SD:9.93) in this study based on the demographic information of the participants. An interview form and attitudes toward women in marriage questioner that includes questions like socio-demographic information, violence past and violence behaviors were applied in this study for gathering information. Results: The result of this study showed that male participants have more tolerance to violence although they have more negative attitudes toward separation in comparison with women. There was a negative correlation between higher level of education and tolerance to violence. As the level of education increased the attitudes to separation were increased as well. There was a positive relationship between the violence behaviors of male particpants and their tolerance toward violence against women, and there was a negative correlation between male participant's positive attitudes toward separation and violence behaviors solely with physical violence behaviors. There was no significant relationship between violence experience and attitudes to violence for female participants. Conclusion: The result of this study showed that there is a significant relationship between gender, level of education, violence experiences and attitudes to violence against women in marriage.
