Abstract

The study aimed to identify the level of psychological resilience and its relationship to the quality of life of a sample of battered women in Amman and Zarqa governorates. The study used the descriptive correlative approach, and the study sample consisted of (187) women from abused wives who were chosen in a simple random way. To achieve the objectives of the study, the psychological resilience scale and the quality of life scale were used, and they had appropriate validity and reliability indications. The results of the study showed that the level of psychological resilience and quality of life among the study members was average, and the results showed a positive, statistically significant relationship between the level of psychological resilience and quality of life among the study members. The study reached a set of recommendations, the most important of which is to enhance the psychological resilience and quality of life for battered women through training workshops in institutions concerned with the protection of women, where it became clear that their level is average.
