본 연구는 근거이론 연구방법과 Giorgi의 현상학적 연구방법을 활용하여 가정폭력피해여성 중에서 비폭력·결혼관계를 유지하는 여성들의 경험을 분석하였다. 대상에 대한 낮은 접근성과 주제의 특수성으로 인해 4명의 참여자를 선정하여 심층면담을 실시하였다. 자료 분석 결과, 비폭력적 결혼관계를 유지하는 경험의 구성요소는 5개의 상위 구성요소와 19개의 하위 구성요소로 이루어졌으며 이는 시간에 따라 단계별로 나타났다. 즉, ‘폭력의 악순환단계: 올가미에 걸려듦’, ‘폭력의 악순환 궤도 이탈단계: 자구(自救)책을 세움’, ‘새로운 궤도 진입단계: 주체성 회복’, ‘비폭력 궤도 구성단계: 폭력재발 예방’, ‘비폭력 궤도 유지 단계: 비폭력 관계 전환’으로 분석되었다. 이러한 연구결과는 가정폭력피해여성 중 과반수에 달하는 결혼유지를 희망하는 피해여성의 성공적인 비폭력적 결혼관계 유지를 돕는 효과적인 사회복지 개입 방안을 모색하는데 근거자료로서 유용할 것이다.

This research utilized the Grounded Theory and Giorgi's phenomenological research method to analyze the experience of battered women who are maintaining a non-violent marriage relationship. Due to the low accessibility of subjects and the distinctiveness of the topic, I have selected 4 participants and conducted in-depth interviews. As for data analysis results, there were 5 superior component elements and 19 inferior component elements for the experience of maintaining a non-violent marriage relationship and these appeared according to time. Thus, it can be analyzed as follows: 'the vicious cycle stage of violence: caught in a trap,' 'stage of breakaway from vicious violence cycle: making the self-rescue measures,' 'entry to a new track: retrieval of autonomy,' 'stage of forming a non-violence track: preventing the recurrence of the violence,' 'stage of maintaining non-violent track: conversion to non-violent relationship.' This research result will be useful in seeking an effective social welfare intervention plan for successful non-violent relationship in order to help 50% of the battered women from family violence who wish to maintain marriage.
