Daftar Isi:
- Domestic violence often occurs in Indonesia. Although victims of domestic violence often experience psychological effects such as trauma, psychological treatment is still rarely done. One of the psychological treatments that can be applied is expressive writing. Expressive writing is an activity of selfexpression through writing about one's thoughts, feelings, and emotions about traumatic events. From several studies, expressive writing is known to have a positive impact on mental and physical health for people who have experienced traumatic events. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of expressive writing on the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder in female victims of domestic violence. This research uses quasi-experimental methods (using the untreated control group design). Participants in this study were 10 women who are victims of domestic violence. Participants were assigned into two groups, experimental and control groups. The results showed that there was a significant effect between experimental group posttest scores with the control group using Mann-Whitney U test with Z=1,991, p=0,047 (p<0,05), which means that the research hypothesis was accepted. From the results of this study also found that there is a decrease in scores of symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder which measured using the Impact of Events Scale- Revised (IES-R) in participants in the experimental group.
