Abstract

The purpose of the current research is to review and analyze the qualitative studies conducted in the field of abused women. In this regard, all scientific-research articles with the keyword "poor-Supported women" in the time period of 2005 to 2000 were extracted from the academic-scientific database of Jihad University and the Normagz document database. In the following, 34 articles were selected for data extraction and further investigation and were studied by documentary, library and meta-analysis methods. Based on the findings of the current research, the studies conducted in this field include two main orientations of psychology and sociology; So that other aspects of the life of this group of women, including economic and political, are examined under these two categories. A group of these studies analyzed theoretically and presented models to identify the problems of poor-Supported women in order to reduce their problems using intervention methods, and another group focused on strengthening the morale and creating a positive image in poor-Supported women through increasing positive views from an empirical point of view. The findings of this study in two aspects of psychology and sociology show that these women need psychological, social and economic support and empowering them in the mentioned dimensions will improve their quality of life and reduce their social suffering. Based on the theoretical achievements of this research, it seems that the policy makers should revise the laws and social rulings related to these women based on a comprehensive definition of abused women.
