The aim of this study is to explore experience of disgust of women in domestic abuse. Thus, we focused on structure of disgust, how disgust is experienced, how victims cope with disgust, how other emotions interact with disgust. For this aim, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six women who had been exposed to domestic abuse. Totally, 41 interviews were conducted. They were analysed with interpretative phenomenological analysis. Finally, five superordinate themes, namely, (1) experience of disgust with subordinate themes of contamination of disgust across different domains, gustatory expression of different type of disgust, association of disgust; (2) other oriented disgust with subordinate themes of disgust triggered by the power position of the abuser, disgust elicited by social position of other, otherization of abuser, physical disgust from other, disgust from part related to trauma; (3) self oriented disgust with subordinate themes of self-loathing expressions, physical dislike, self disgust related with sexuality, alienation to self, abuser reminder disgust; (4) coping strategies for disgust with superordinate themes of focusing on the good, effort to find an excuse of abuse of perpetrator, avoidance from disgust related one, re-identification of self with new relationship, re-identification of other with new identity, reflecting unwanted sides to abuser; (5) accompanied emotions to disgust with subordinate themes of detachment, guilt, shame, anger, hate were determined.
