  • The aim is to reduce PTSD levels in domestic violence survivors through a modified mindfulness-based intervention.
  • Participants attended six meetings over three weeks.
  • Intervention included various meditation practices such as breathing, body-scan, and loving-kindness meditations.
  • A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test post-test was used for analysis.
  • PTSD was measured using the Impact of Event Scale - Revised (IES-R).
  • Participants showed a significant reduction in PTSD scores after the intervention.
  • Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test yielded a Z value of -2.366 (p < .05).
