Özet:

Aim: The aim of the research was to examine the published articles on violence in pregnancy between 2010-2020 in Turkey. Methods: The research was carried out qualitatively through document analysis. An archive was formed from the articles related to the subject. “Publication Evaluation Guideline” which was developed in line with interpretative approach was used in the review of articles. Descriptive content analysis technique was employed in data analysis. Results: It was identified that the articles, which were reviewed, were mostly quantitative studies and the data collection tools were frequently developed by the authors. It was found that they were done via non-invasive methods in retrospective descriptive or analytical cross-sectional pattern. It was seen that pilot studies were not done to test the data collection tools in the articles and expert opinions were not received. It was identified that the articles mostly dealt with type of violence, individuals committing violence, reactions against violence and coping skills through non-systematic methods. Six main themes and sub-themes consisting of these themes were determined in data analysis. Conclusions and Suggestions: The studies included in the evaluation contain important results that reveal the dimensions of violence during pregnancy. According to the research results, it was seen that violence in pregnancy was a significant problem in Turkey as well as throughout the world. Considering the limited number of interventional and qualitative studies on violence during pregnancy in Turkey, it seems that more studies are needed on this subject. It can be recommended to conduct new researches that take into account cultural differences in studies on the subject.
