Violence against women maintains its importance. Nursing and midwifery students should be able to identify symptoms of violence against women. Healthcare providers have received insufficient education, either before or after graduation, for identifying violence cases and for dealing with interfamilial violence against women. This study is conducted to identify nursing and midwifery students' ability to recognise symptoms of violence against women. This cross-sectional study included nursing and midwifery students attending the Ege University, School of Nursing, the Celal Bayar University, Health School of Higher Education and Health School of Izmir Atatürk ( = 557). The convenience sampling method was used. There were 114 students who declined to participate in this study as they did not want to answer questions about violence ( = 443). It was determined that 94.6% of the students were knowledgeable about violence against women. The scores obtained by students from the physical symptom sub-dimension were 8.35 ± 1.65 and from the emotional symptom sub-dimension were 11.97 ± 2.19. The total scores obtained from the scale were 20.32 ± 3.14. A statistically significant difference was found between students' age, gender, nursing or midwifery section, being subjected to violence, receiving violence awareness training and reporting violence in the sub-dimensions and total scores of the scale ( < 0.05). Having knowledge and self-confidence increased students' awareness in identifying the symptoms of violence. The participant's limited ability to identify symptoms of violence is thought to result from inadequate emphasis on violence issues in the curricula. Greater emphasis should be placed on violence issues in curricula to guide students as future health care professionals.
暴力侵害妇女行为仍然很重要。护理和助产学专业的学生应该能够识别针对妇女的暴力行为的症状。医护人员在毕业前或毕业后接受的有关识别暴力案件和处理家庭内针对妇女的暴力行为的教育都不足。本研究旨在确定护理和助产学学生识别针对妇女的暴力行为症状的能力。这是一项横断面研究，包括在伊兹密尔艾登大学护理学院、泽伊内普·阿克谢希尔大学健康高等教育学院和伊兹密尔阿塔图尔克卫生学校就读的护理和助产学专业学生（ = 557）。采用便利抽样法。有 114 名学生拒绝参与本研究，因为他们不想回答有关暴力问题的问题（ = 443）。确定 94.6%的学生对暴力侵害妇女行为有了解。学生在身体症状子维度上的得分为 8.35±1.65，在情绪症状子维度上的得分为 11.97±2.19。量表的总分为 20.32±3.14。学生的年龄、性别、护理或助产学专业、遭受暴力、接受暴力意识培训以及在量表的子维度和总分上报告暴力等方面的得分存在统计学差异（ < 0.05）。知识和自信增加了学生识别暴力症状的意识。参与者识别暴力症状的能力有限，被认为是课程中对暴力问题重视不够的结果。应该更加重视课程中的暴力问题，指导学生作为未来的医疗保健专业人员。
