Abstract :Purpose: Experiences of violence negatively affect women\'s independence and daily activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the \"Model of Human Occupation (MOHO)\"-based occupational therapy intervention on the occupational competence and occupational participation of women affected by domestic violence and living in a women\'s shelter. Materials and Methods: The MOHO-based occupational therapy program, which includes 10 intervention areas, was applied to 13 women in two women’s shelters. Four-week (16 sessions) individual and group training and environmental interventions were provided. Participants\' occupational competence was assessed with the "Occupational Self-Assessment” and occupational participation with the "Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool”. Assessments were conducted before the intervention, after the intervention, and at the 3-month follow-up. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in occupational competence (p=0.002) and occupational participation (p=0.004) between pre-intervention and 3-month follow-up assessments. Improvements were noted in all domains (OSA-competence, and volution, habituation, communication-interaction, process skills, and environment parameters of MOHOST) (p 0.05). Discussion: MOHO-based occupational therapy interventions delivered in women\'s shelters could have a positive impact on the occupational competence and occupational participation of women experiencing violence.Keywords : Ergoterapi, Aile içi şiddet, Kadınlar, İnsan aktivite modeli
