INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of intimate partner violence against women, the types of violence that women are exposed to and their relationship with women's methods of coping.
METHODS: The study was conducted with 150 women at two different social life centers affiliated with a municipality from September 2015 to June 2016. The data were collected using an interview form and the Coping with Stress Inventory (WOCI). Frequency and percentage distributions, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Student's t test and the Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the data.
RESULTS: Of the women, 67.3% were exposed to least one type of violence in their lifetime, and 62.7% were exposed to least one type of violence in the last year. Of them, 34.7% were exposed to physical violence in their lifetime, and 21.3% were exposed to physical violence in the last year; 52.7% were exposed to emotional violence in their lifetime, and 48.7% were exposed to emotional violence in the last year; 14% were exposed to sexual violence in their lifetime, 11.3% were exposed to sexual violence in the last year; 22.7% were exposed to economic violence in their lifetime, and 21.3% were exposed to economic violence in the last year. The women who were exposed to physical, sexual and economic violence were less likely to use the self-confident and optimistic approach than the others. The women who were exposed to violence used the social support approach less than the others. The women who were exposed to emotional violence were more likely to use the submissive approach than the others.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The women were exposed to emotional violence most. The women who were exposed to physical, sexual and economic violence used the problem-focused approach less often. The women who were exposed to emotional violence were found to use the emotional-focused approach more often. New ways for women to cope with violence should be developed.

Keywords: Methods of coping, nursing; partner violence; violence against women.
