The design of an intervention to reduce violence in the family: A family–centred approach
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Violence occurs in different environments, however, it is often found in the family with family members being the perpetrators.Family violence, as an integrative concept, is defined by few researchers or theorists, let alone conceptualised as a theoretical grounding for family-centred interventions aimed at violence in the home.However, family members are all affected in the act of any violence in the family, thus any intervention should include the whole family.A family-centred approach focuses on all family members to be included in the intervention and is acknowledged as the best method when trying to create an intervention for family violence.Thus, the aim of this study was to design an intervention programme for families experiencing family violence in order to reduce violence in the family.To create such a programme, intervention mapping was the chosen design for this study.Intervention mapping has five steps, 1.) Specify the programme's goals into proximal programme objectives.In this stage, needs are identified; 2.) Selection of theoretical and practical strategies; 3.) Design the programme, 4.) Implementation of the programme, and 5.) Focus on anticipating process and effect evaluation.However, this study only focused on the first 3 steps of intervention development, namely, Phase I, a family violence needs assessment done to identify the problem, Phase II entailed a review done to determine appropriate theoretical and practical approaches for the intervention regarding family violence, and lastly, Phase III had been a Delphi study which aided in the design and development of the intervention.This study showed promising results with proven long-term positive effects in implementing a familycentred approach, and when coupled with a collaborative network of support services, political will, and community support, and has the ability to ensure continuity of care and improved functioning for families experiencing violence in the home.v DEDICATION This work is dedicated to all the participants who have contributed greatly to the field of family violence, by selflessly committing to service excellence and continue having the passion and drive to make a positive difference for the families they aid and assist.Secondly, this work is aimed to uplift and empower families enduring violence, so they may reach fulfilment in their family life and enjoy a functioning and supportive family environment.Lastly, and most importantly, my efforts and persistence in navigating the many challenges, and inspirational moments within this PhD journey has only been possible through the mercy and grace of God the Almighty, of whom all praise and success belong to Him and all errors are my own.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
