“…This puts them in a crucial position to address IPV from a facility-based perspective. IPV knowledge, attitude, and preparedness are important factors that affect nurses’ and midwives’ capacity to manage clients experiencing IPV [ 17 , 18 ] and are acquired through appropriate preservice and continuing education [ 19 ]. Therefore, evaluating nurses’ and midwives’ current conditions related to IPV knowledge, attitudes, and preparedness is important in determining their capacity to provide IPV care and services.…”

Background: With increasing recognition of intimate partner violence (IPV) as a public health challenge, nurses and midwives are recognized for their crucial role in providing front-line healthcare services for IPV. This study aimed to evaluate knowledge, attitude, and preparedness related to IPV care provision in health facilities among nurses and midwives in Tanzania. Methods: A self-administered anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted among nurses and midwives working in health facilities in the Mbeya region between December 2018 and January 2019. The questionnaire consisted of questions on their perceived and actual knowledge, attitudes, and preparedness to provide care in relation to IPV. Results: A total of 662 (50.1%) of 1321 nurses and midwives who worked in hospitals and/or health centers in the Mbeya region participated in this study, and 461 (69.6%) completed questionnaires were included in the analysis. The proportion of nurses and midwives with high scores in IPV perceived knowledge, actual knowledge, attitude, and preparedness to provide care was 59.9%, 53.1%, 54.2%, and 54.0%, respectively. Regardless of the type of facility, gender, educational level, and work experience, the use of IPV guidelines was significantly associated with high scores in IPV perceived knowledge (P < 0.001), actual knowledge (P = 0.004), and preparedness to provide care (P < 0.001), but not attitude, which was negatively associated (P = 0.048). Regardless of the type of facility, gender, educational level, and work experience, receiving preservice IPV training was associated with high scores in IPV perceived knowledge (P < 0.001), actual knowledge (P = 0.049), and preparedness to provide care (P = 0.002), but not attitude (P = 0.192). Regardless of the type of facility, gender, educational level, and work experience, inservice IPV training was associated with high scores in IPV perceived knowledge (P < 0.001), actual knowledge (P = 0.043), and preparedness to provide care (P = 0.001), but not attitude (P = 0.063). Conclusions: Although guidelines and training could improve nurses' and midwives' knowledge and preparedness to provide care regarding IPV, attitudes against IPV care are a challenge. To improve attitudes regarding IPV among front-line nurses and midwives, it is necessary to address concepts of IPV care and sympathy with potential and actual victims of IPV in pre-and in-service training in addition to providing recall-level knowledge.

“…However, it is important to highlight that prior studies have found specific training programs involving contrasting IPV to be very effective [ 23 ]. Therefore, it is essential to promote training courses in order to encourage a psychosocial management of IPV in all social and health services involved in the prevention and detection of IPV [ 24 ].…”

“…Moreover, children suffer as both witnesses of violence against their mothers and because they lack the care of their mother, who is unfortunately the victim of the daily violence. In addition to the organizational gaps and the poor training of health service personnel, the invisibility of IPV among operators is attributed to the common cultural power asymmetries [ 26 , 27 , 28 ] that characterize relationships between women and men, in which men wield greater levels of power [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”

“…In particular, a specific professional background is essential in detecting seemingly invisible and unsuspected gender violence [ 35 , 36 , 37 ], as well as when assisting men in acknowledging the causes and effects of their actions and inviting them to find new strategies to express their negative emotions [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ].…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been declared a global epidemic by the World Health Organization. Although the attention paid to both the perpetrators and victims of gender-based violence has increased, scientific research is still lacking in regard to the representations of operators involved in interventions and management. Therefore, the following study explores how the representations of operators affect how gender violence can be managed and combatted through an ecological approach to this phenomenon, in addition to highlighting the roles of organizational-level services and their cultural and symbolic substrates. In total, 35 health and social professionals were interviewed and textual materials were analyzed by thematic analysis. The evidence suggests that services contrasting gender-based violence utilize different representations and management approaches. The authors hope that these differences can become a resource, rather than a limitation, when combatting gender-based violence through the construction of more integrated networks and a greater dialogue among different services, in order to make interventions designed to combat gender-based violence more effective.

“…They emphasized the need for violence screening training to students providing healthcare services and considered their presence in related clinical settings necessary for the integration of theoretical and practical knowledge. (12) Despite the high prevalence of domestic violence in various countries, including Iran, very few studies have been conducted on this subject, and given recent findings in Canada showing the students' greater use of social media for learning scientific topics, (13) the present study was conducted to examine the effect of training on the legal aspects of domestic violence against women through social networks on the awareness and attitude of nursing students.…”

BACKGROUNDAccording to world statistics, majority of women is subjected to multiple instances of domestic violence in their lifetime. According to the results of some studies, awareness and attitude towards violence against women in different groups of society are different. Therefore, this issue should be studied in different groups, especially medical personnel. International law and national law should be studied. Nurses are the first link in the chain of communication for identifying and helping the victims of domestic violence. Educating this group is therefore the most crucial step in the prevention and reduction of instances of domestic violence against women. The present study examines the effect of, education on the legal aspects of domestic violence against women through social networks, on the awareness and attitude of nursing students. METHODSA pre-post intervention design was used. Nursing students (n=110) attended to the research. Of these, 98 completed the pre-post researcher-made questionnaire. Data was analysed in SPSS-25 at the significance level of p= 0.05. RESULTSUsing the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, all post intervention scores were significantly higher than pre intervention scores. Awareness scores increased from a pre-training mean of 47.45 to 59.53 (z= -8.418, p < 0.05) and attitude scores increased from 75.26 to 88.66 (z= -8.527, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONSTraining on the legal aspects of domestic violence against women effectively improved nursing students' awareness and attitude.
