Effectiveness of Video Interventions for Perpetrators of Domestic Violence

Digital tools can improve knowledge and awareness of strategies and skills for healthy and respectful intimate relationships. The website of the Healthy and Respectful Relationship Program has been developed and included five key videos about how to build healthy intimate relationships. This study examined the perspectives about informative videos by focusing on how individuals learn new information or challenge their preconceptions or attitudes regarding male privilege and women's oppression. Five individuals who received no-contact orders and attended group intervention were the sample of this study. The observation notes were the major methodology examining how participants responded to video tools. The data analysis method was the interpretative phenomenological analysis. The results showed that many participants found the tools were useful in learning the types of violence and communication strategies. Nevertheless, the obstacles to implementing some techniques were found in their relationships. These digital tools might enhance healthy and respectful relationship despite some limitations.
