Nursing students in Palestine face unique stressors during armed conflict, including exposure to violence and disruptions in clinical education. The 7th of October War in Gaza heightened these challenges, impacting their psychological well-being and overall quality of life (QoL).
To assess the prevalence of violence and quality of life among nursing students at Palestine Polytechnic University during the 7th of October War.
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in April 2025 among 335 undergraduate nursing students using a self-administered questionnaire. It included sociodemographic data, war-related exposures, and the Arabic version of the WHOQOL-BREF. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.
More than half (63.3%) reported regularly passing through Israeli military checkpoints, and among them, 83% experienced violence, mostly verbal (50%), followed by psychological (39%) and physical (11%). Additionally, 92% witnessed violence against others at these checkpoints. QoL scores were lowest in the environmental (48.2) and psychological (56.2) domains. Overall, 74.6% reported poor QoL in the environmental domain. Students exposed to checkpoints or violence had significantly lower QoL scores (p < .001). City residents reported higher QoL compared to rural and campus-based students (p = .006).
Nursing students in Palestine endure high rates of violence and poor quality of life during conflict, especially in environmental and psychological aspects. These findings call for urgent interventions, including psychosocial support and institutional policies that prioritize student safety and well-being in conflict zones.
巴勒斯坦的护理专业学生在武装冲突期间面临独特的压力源，包括遭受暴力以及临床教育受到干扰。加沙地带的10月7日战争加剧了这些挑战，影响了他们的心理健康和整体生活质量（QoL）。
评估在10月7日战争期间巴勒斯坦理工大学护理专业学生中的暴力发生率和生活质量。
2025年4月对335名本科护理专业学生进行了一项描述性横断面研究，使用自填式问卷。问卷包括社会人口学数据、与战争相关的经历，以及世界卫生组织生活质量简表（WHOQOL-BREF）的阿拉伯语版本。使用SPSS 26版软件对数据进行分析。
超过一半（63.3%）的学生报告经常要经过以色列军事检查站，其中83%的人遭受过暴力，主要是言语暴力（50%），其次是心理暴力（39%）和身体暴力（11%）。此外，92%的人在这些检查站目睹过针对他人的暴力行为。生活质量得分在环境领域（48.2）和心理领域（56.2）最低。总体而言，74.6%的学生报告在环境领域生活质量较差。经历过检查站检查或暴力的学生生活质量得分显著更低（p < 0.001）。城市居民报告的生活质量高于农村和校园学生（p = 0.006）。
巴勒斯坦的护理专业学生在冲突期间遭受高发生率的暴力，生活质量较差，尤其是在环境和心理方面。这些发现呼吁采取紧急干预措施，包括心理社会支持以及在冲突地区优先保障学生安全和福祉的机构政策。
