“…These study findings are important because they not only add to the scant literature on dating violence among college students in Costa Rica, but the findings are also consistent with previous literature on the physical and mental health problems, including sexual consequences, exhibited by dating violence victims ( Amar & Gennaro, 2005 ; Ohnishi et al, 2011 ; Spencer et al, 2016 ).…”

Examination of Attitudes of Nursing Students on Dating Violence

“…International studies have shown that university students have a range of 26-84% of engaging dating violence and 29-30% have become subject to daing violence (Spencer, Haffejee, Candy, & Kaseke, 2016:1129Kamimura, Nourian, Assasnik, & Franchek-Roa, 2016-a:53;Umena, Fowole, & Adeoye, 2014:1;Chan etal.,2008:529;Amar, & Gennora, 2005:232;Straus, 2004:790).When the studies in Turkey on dating violence experience of university students are examined, Terzioğlu and colleagues (2016) stated that attitudes of university students were not supportive on dating violence, in his study on assessing prevalance of dating violence, Hatipoğlu (2010) stated students had higher levels of becoming subject to dating violence and increasing aggression levels in their dating relations (Terzioğlu et al, 2016:231;Hatipoğlu, 2010:4).Studies have shown that university students differ in terms of engaging and being subject to violence in dting relations of university students.This may be due to differences in the extent to which students can describe violence and be aware of the types of violence and can express the level of violence experienced.In our study, it was determined that 6.9% of the nursing students are subject to dating violence and 7.1% have become subject to violence.Similar to our findings, Er Güner (2016)in study on nursing students, states that 4.1% of the students report they have engaged violence to their partners (Er Güneri, 2016:52).In addition to these findings, in the study on nursing college students, Aslan and colleagues (2008) found that 21.6% of students were exposed to violence while 18.4% of them had engaged in violence,Conner and colleagues (2013) reported that 40% of nursing students were exposed to any type of violence in the partner relationship (Aslan et al, 2008:31,33;Conner et al,2013:236). When compared with the results of the research conducted in the field of literature, it can be said that nursing students have lower rates of engaging and exposing to dating violence.This may be related to the increased awareness of nursing education in the steps of prevention and intervention of violence.…”
