This study determines whether the inclusion of violence against women (VAW) education in nursing curricula would improve attitudes and professional help toward victims of violence. Research was carried out as cross-sectional and comparative quasi-experimental study. The research included 524 students; 262 students were trained and 262 were untrained. Data were collected using the Sociodemographic and Personal Charaterics Form, Attitude toward Violence Scale (AVS), and Attitude toward Occupational Roles in Violence Scale (AORVS). The overall average AVS score of students was 30.81 ± 8.68 and overall average AORVS score was 25.50 ± 6.86. There were significant differences in AVS scores and AORVS scores between the experimental and control groups. The scale and sub-dimension mean scores of the students who received the course were significantly lower; it was determined that obtaining low scores reflected divergence from traditionalism and increase in modern opinions in the evaluation of the scales. It is clear that undergraduate courses are an ideal opportunity to initiate changes in attitudes toward intimate partner violence (IPV) and equip graduates with comprehensive knowledge of IPV. This study demonstrates that meeting professional and information needs about VAW by revising nursing curricula is important.
本研究旨在确定在护理课程中纳入针对妇女暴力(VAW)的教育是否会改善对暴力受害者的态度和专业帮助。研究采用了横断面和比较准实验研究设计。研究纳入了 524 名学生,其中 262 名学生接受了培训,262 名学生未接受培训。使用社会人口统计学和个人特征表、暴力态度量表(AVS)和暴力职业角色态度量表(AORVS)收集数据。学生的 AVS 总分平均为 30.81±8.68,AORVS 总平均分为 25.50±6.86。实验组和对照组的 AVS 评分和 AORVS 评分存在显著差异。接受课程的学生的量表和子维度平均得分显著降低;这表明,获得低分反映了对量表的传统观念的背离和现代观念的增加。本科课程显然是改变对亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)态度和使毕业生具备全面的 IPV 知识的理想机会。本研究表明,通过修改护理课程来满足有关 VAW 的专业和信息需求非常重要。
