This study assessed the perceptions and practices of school nurses regarding adolescent dating violence (ADV).
The membership list of the National Association of School Nurses was used to identify a national random cross-sectional sample of high school nurses in the United States (N = 750). A valid and reliable survey instrument was developed and a 3-wave postal mailing procedure was used to maximize the return rate (57%).
Most school nurses (86.4%) reported that they did not have a protocol in their schools to respond to an incident of ADV. The majority of nurses reported that in the past 2 years, training to assist victims of ADV had not been provided to personnel in their schools (88.1%) and their schools did not conduct periodic student surveys that include questions on teen dating abuse behaviors (71.5%). Nurses who had a school protocol for responding to an incident of ADV perceived significantly fewer barriers to assisting victims of ADV and assisted more victims. Over half (55.3%) of high school nurses reported assisting a victim of ADV in the past 2 years.
Nurses appear to need more training in ADV. In addition, nurses found a number of barriers (eg, lack of training on ADV, lack of time, and lack of private space) to assisting student victims of ADV. Schools need to establish a means for assessing the status of ADV in their student population. Schools also need to provide in-service education for school personnel regarding prevention, assessment, and interdiction of ADV.
本研究评估了学校护士对青少年约会暴力（ADV）的看法和实践。
使用全国学校护士协会的会员名单，确定了美国全国范围内的高中护士随机横断面样本（N=750）。开发了一种有效且可靠的调查工具，并采用 3 波邮寄程序来最大限度地提高回复率（57%）。
大多数学校护士（86.4%）报告说，他们所在的学校没有针对 ADV 事件的应对协议。大多数护士报告说，在过去 2 年中，他们所在学校的人员没有接受过协助 ADV 受害者的培训（88.1%），而且他们的学校没有进行定期的学生调查，其中包括有关青少年约会虐待行为的问题（71.5%）。有针对 ADV 事件的应对协议的护士，在协助 ADV 受害者方面遇到的障碍明显较少，并且协助了更多的受害者。超过一半（55.3%）的高中护士报告在过去 2 年中协助过 ADV 的受害者。
护士似乎需要更多的 ADV 培训。此外，护士发现了一些障碍（例如，缺乏 ADV 培训、缺乏时间和缺乏私人空间），这使得他们难以协助学生 ADVA 受害者。学校需要建立一种评估学生群体中 ADV 状况的方法。学校还需要为学校人员提供有关 ADV 的预防、评估和干预的在职教育。
