The method of this study is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this study consisted of all women who had referred to the social emergency department and Shaheed Behest Hospital in Kashan city in the summer of 1401. From the statistical population, 100 people were selected and studied using non-random sampling method. Beck's suicidal tendency questionnaire (1961) and Haj Yahya's violence against women questionnaire (1999) were used to collect data. After collecting and extracting data, the participants' scores were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test using statistical software (SPSS), version 23.
