INTRODUCTION
Nurses are the largest healthcare workforce and are not immune to intimate partner violence (IPV) and its consequences.
OBJECTIVE
This study is aimed at determining the prevalence, types of IPV, and its determinants among female nurses and nursing students in a tertiary teaching hospital in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Nigeria.
METHODS
This cross-sectional study was done in a teaching hospital in Abakaliki between 1st March 2018 and 31st May 2018 to evaluate the prevalence of IPV in the past 12 months among 460 female nursing students and 460 nurses in the facility. Data were obtained with a structured questionnaire and a Composite Abuse Scale. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 20 and represented using frequency table, percentages, and odds ratios. The level of significance is at P-value < 0.05.
RESULTS
The prevalence of IPV was 48.2% for the nursing student and 58.7% for the nurses. The most common form of IPV among nursing students was Emotional and/or Harassment abuse (27.1%) while it was Severe combined abuse (23.9%) among the nurses. The significant determinants of IPV among nursing students were age [OR = 0.61(95%CI0.41-0.92)] and year of study [OR = 0.67 (95%CI 0.51-0.89)]. Male partner being unemployed was associated with increased odds of a female partner experiencing violence. Nurses' marital status and being in the low socioeconomic class were associated with increased odds of a nurse witnessing IPV.
CONCLUSION
The prevalence of IPV in the studied group is unacceptably high. Efforts are therefore needed to prevent IPV in the study groups. Health care managers in the study area should make policies to support nurses/nursing students who have experienced IPV.
引言
护士是医疗保健领域最大的劳动力群体，也无法免受亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）及其后果的影响。
目的
本研究旨在确定尼日利亚埃邦伊州阿巴卡利基一家三级教学医院中女性护士和护理专业学生亲密伴侣暴力的患病率、类型及其决定因素。
方法
这项横断面研究于2018年3月1日至2018年5月31日在阿巴卡利基的一家教学医院进行，以评估该机构中460名女性护理专业学生和460名护士在过去12个月中亲密伴侣暴力的患病率。通过结构化问卷和综合虐待量表获取数据。使用IBM SPSS Statistics 20版对数据进行分析，并通过频率表、百分比和比值比进行呈现。显著性水平为P值<0.05。
结果
护理专业学生亲密伴侣暴力的患病率为48.2%，护士为58.7%。护理专业学生中最常见的亲密伴侣暴力形式是情感和/或骚扰虐待（27.1%），而护士中则是严重综合虐待（23.9%）。护理专业学生中亲密伴侣暴力的显著决定因素是年龄[比值比=0.61（95%置信区间0.41 - 0.92）]和学习年份[比值比=0.67（95%置信区间0.51 - 0.89）]。男性伴侣失业与女性伴侣遭受暴力的几率增加有关。护士处于低社会经济阶层和已婚状况与目睹亲密伴侣暴力的几率增加有关。
结论
研究组中亲密伴侣暴力的患病率高得令人无法接受。因此，需要努力预防研究组中的亲密伴侣暴力。研究地区的医疗保健管理人员应制定政策，以支持遭受过亲密伴侣暴力侵害的护士/护理专业学生。
