Domestic violence, Posttraumatic growth, WomenAbstract
Domestic violence can have serious psychological, physical and emotional effects on victims. But some victims are able to recover through posttraumatic growth a positive change following trauma. This study aims to explore the dynamics of posttraumatic growth in female victims of domestic violence by differentiating the process in the early adult and late adult age categories. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with phenomenological methods to understand in depth the experiences of the participants consisting of two female victims of domestic violence. Data was collected through in-depth interviews focusing on aspects of post-traumatic growth. The results showed that there are some differences in the post-traumatic growth process in early adulthood and late adulthood. Early adult subjects focus more on self-development, exploring new careers, expanding friendship networks, and demonstrating independence and personal resilience. Whereas late adult subjects emphasized happiness in small moments with family, deepening existing relationships, the ability to deal with conflict, and higher spiritual changes. This difference in focus reflects the influence of age phase on priorities and coping strategies in achieving post-traumatic growth, with early adulthood tending to seek change and exploration, whereas late adulthood prioritizes emotional stability and acceptance of life. The results of this study are expected to be the basis for improving and accelerating the achievement of victims of domestic violence at the posttraumatic growth stage.
