Non-Performance – The proposal that develops, evaluates, or modifies the hypothetical implementation of this change in a real-world setting is either nonexistent or lacks the components described in the assignment instructions.

You did a great job in regard to highlighting the need for research, and how you would go about conducting the research. You also need a proposed plan. If you had the opportunity to develop a program that the organization could implement…what would that program look like? Would it involve services for the victims and the perpetrators? Also, when you are creating this program, don't forget to include how you would monitor/evaluate that it is effective.

( 0.38 / 0.50) Describes the Process for Determining the Need for the New Program, the Evaluation, or the Modification of this Program

Basic – Minimally describes the process for determining the need for the new program, the evaluation, or the modification of this program. Relevant details are missing.

( 0.44 / 0.50) Explains the Proposed Solution to the Problem, Gap, or Need for this Hypothetical Proposal

Proficient – Explains the proposed solution to the problem, gap, or need for this hypothetical proposal. The explanation is slightly underdeveloped.

( 0.00 / 0.50) Selects a Qualitative, Quantitative, or Mixed Methods Design for the Proposal

Proficient – N/A

Great focus on qualitative methodology, and quantitative. Also great focus on case studies, in the context of the research, but not on the quasi experimental methods.

( 0.38 / 0.50) Explains Why this Methodology and Design is Most Appropriate for the Proposed Change

Basic – Minimally explains why this methodology and design is most appropriate for the proposed change. The explanation is underdeveloped.

( 0.38 / 0.50) Creates a Hypothetical Research Proposal to a Grant Funding Organization or an Organization Where the Evaluation of Programs is Part of the Job Description

Basic – Creates a limited hypothetical research proposal to a grant funding organization where the evaluation of programs is part of the job description. Relevant details are missing, unclear, and/or inaccurate.

Missing a proposed program

What can be done to help women rebuild trust after overcoming domestic violence?

 Introduction and Background

Domestic violence is one of the most common challenges affecting families. It is an 

experience that exposes victims to trauma since it affects the victim physically, mentally, and 

emotionally. According to the article The Cycle of Domestic Violence, (2019), approximately 

40% of Americans have encountered domestic violence though the levels of impact vary entirely.

Some have succumbed to injuries, and others have lived to tell tales and trauma involved. All 

domestic violence victims have one thing to come; a challenging healing process that leaves 

visible and invisible scars in most cases. However, the experience wipes away trust between the 

victim and the victimizer and, by extension, other people that might try having a close 

relationship with the victim.

Women in Distress is a national, state­certified, and accredited human service 

organization that offers dull services associated with domestic violence to people in Broward 

County, Florida. The organization, established in 1974 by Edee Greene and a group of concerned

citizens, is guided by its mission to stop domestic violence abuse for everyone through 

intervention, education, and advocacy. Over the years, the organization has expanded from 

facility size to service diversification. All these services are meant to assist the victim in 

overcoming the trauma, healing completely, and moving on with life like any other person. It is 

either within the facility in the shelters constructed or in their homes.

However, in the many cases of domestic violence that Women in Distress professionals 

have come to rescue, almost 80% of them are women who have been abused for a while. The 

organization has been working round the clock to understand why women stay in abusive 

relationships since the understanding is detrimental to breaking the cycle of domestic violence. 

Depending on the situation, the organization helps people involved in domestic violence rekindle

trust so they can live happily as a family. It is hence an organization that has been considered 

necessary by the people of Broward County in Florida, leading to high demand for services. 

o Statement of the problem

Whenever domestic violence occurs, it has massive visible and invisible effects on the 

victim. The victim gets hurt physically, emotionally, and psychologically. The pain of the injury 

causes a loss of trust among victims (Robbins & Cook, 2018). The psychological and emotional 

distress makes the victim perceive the attacker as someone who cannot be trusted, causing the 

victim to live in fear and anxiety whenever the attacker is in sight. Lack of trust affects the 

quality of relationships, henceforth something that has proven to affect quality relationships 

between couples or parents if the abuse was done on a child. Of importance to note is that in 

cases where women are the victim attacked by their intimate partners, they live in fear of 

exposing them hence staying longer in abusive relationships making the effect more profound. 

Further, Robbins & Cook (2018) state that it is even more challenging to notice that not all 

human service providers are professionals when intervening in domestic violence cases, creating 

a rift between the service provider and the victim regarding trust. 

o Significance of the problem

Domestic violence is a significant challenge because only a fraction of domestic violence 

victims, particularly women, recover (Anderson, Renner, & Danis, 2012). It means most of them 

to remain in the shadows as the trauma holds them hostage. It is interesting to note that when 

women are in a position to trust all over again and be assured of their safety; they are in a place 

to adjust their minds, attitude, and behavior leading to a high rate of recovery that further attracts 

resilience and growth (Anderson, Renner, & Danis, 2012). The challenge is significant because 

the lack of ample support and inability to report domestic violence cases in time has compelled 

many victims to live an average or low quality of life as they cannot free themselves from stress 

and trauma. 

According to Devakumar et al. (2021), almost 30% of domestic violence victims have 

mental conditions that lower the quality of their lives. In the United States, mental health is a 

significant challenge and a leading cause of death. As a matter of reality, mental health has been 

a cause of domestic violence. The fact that domestic violence interferes with the mental health 

status of the victim means that the victim remains at risk of being a perpetrator later in life or 

remains a victim since unstable mental health reduces a person's ability to overcome abuse. 

The problem is also more significant because there are a lot of reported domestic violence

cases that have only been resolved partially. According to Flasch, Murray, & Crowe (2017), 

many women have only been assisted by professionals to heal physically, but psychologically 

and emotionally, they are left with scars. The partial healing creates reasons for constant 

reminders of the violence, and this means that interventions should be upgraded to offer overall 

assistance. As Stanley et al. (2010) claim, most outrageous behaviors, actions and attitudes are

outward signs of emotional and psychological scars that most domestic violence victims have.

o Populations served

Women in Distress organization does not discriminate and works towards assisting any 

person who has suffered from domestic violence. However, women have considered most 

vulnerable since a majority of cases that the organization handles are women and the perpetrators

are their intimate partners (Women in Distress, n.d.). Moreover, they are also more vulnerable 

due to a lack of proper masculinity to defend themselves from their attackers. The fact that 

women have attained their adult age makes trust issues much higher. However, this means that 

the organization targets women to assist them in rebuilding their trust while empowering them to

seek assistance in case of domestic violence instead of sticking to an abusive marriage in silence.

o Proposed solution

According to Stanley et al. (2010), a rehabilitation program is the most effective solution 

to the increasing cases of domestic violence and women remaining in abusive relationships and 

rekindling trust. This is a program where psychological and emotional counseling would be done

for the perpetrator and the victim. The solution would work because it is only when the two are 

assisted that higher levels of surety can be attained. These same levels would help the perpetrator

start acting in a manner that would allow the victim to believe in trust again. At the same time, 

the victim would be offered general intervention where visible and invisible scars of the violence

would be handled and wiped out gradually. With the two parties playing their role effectively, it

would be easy to reach a point where the environment is supportive of trust.

o Research questions

­ Understanding why women stay in abusive relationships is key to breaking the cycle 

of domestic violence.

­ What can be done to help women rebuild trust after overcoming domestic violence?

Methodology 

o Conceptual framework

An effort to understand why women remain in abusive relationships making it hard to 

break the domestic violence cycle and how best to rebuild trust after a domestic violence attack 

is a research issue marked by independent and dependent variables. From the research questions 

identified, there is a hypothesis that illustrates research expectations, and this does not ignore the 

importance of demonstrating proof of the relationship between identified variables.   In this case,

the independent variable is the various causes of domestic violence, for instance, uncontrolled 

anger, poor communication leading to misunderstanding, past neglect or abuse causing mental 

disability, low self­worth and esteem, access to weapons, peer pressure, and overall poor 

upbringing. On the other hand, dependent variables are the effects, for instance, physical&
