“…Therefore the curriculum in nursing and midwifery schools should be restructured. A review study by Crombie, Hooker, Reisenhofer (2017) demonstrated that undergraduate DV education for nursing/midwifery staff and students was inadequate and unsatisfactory. In accordance with these results, DV education should examine gender roles and the effects of traditional gender roles on attitudes towards DV.…”

Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a gender equality course in changing undergraduate midwifery students' attitudes towards domestic violence and gender roles. Design: A one-group before-after quasi-experimental design was used. Methods: First-year undergraduate midwifery students (n = 64) were pre-tested and post-tested for their attitude to domestic violence and gender roles using "The Attitudes Towards Domestic Violence Scale", and "The Gender Roles Attitudes Scale". Data were collected from a health science faculty in Giresun, Turkey. The pre-and post-test results were compared using a paired samples t-test. Results: While the mean score of the attitudes towards domestic violence was 55.23 ± 5.84 before the gender equality course, it increased to 57.71 ± 5.07 after the course. The increase in scores was statistically significant (p < 0.001). For attitudes to gender roles, the mean total score increased from 154.65 ± 14.16 to 164.72 ± 13.65 after the course (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The gender equality course helped students develop more positive attitudes towards domestic violence and gender roles. We achieved the aim of the study. We recommend that gender equality courses be integrated into the midwifery curriculum.

AimThe aim of this study was to explore previous literature related to nurses understanding of Intimate partner violence (IPV) or domestic violence and abuse (DVA) against women and to identify the gaps in nursing education so as to use the findings as a baseline to inform potential intervention strategies, curriculum development and outline implications for future nursing practice.DesignAn Integrative review of literature.MethodsStudies were extracted through a search of the electronic databases, such as Science direct, EBSCO host and PubMed, to identify relevant evidences published between January 2000–January 2017. “Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tool” was used to review primary research studies.ResultsSeventeen empirical studies were analysed. Findings supported four themes including: educational and training experiences, identification of IPV/DVA, curriculum and communication skills of nurses. Continued efforts are further needed to highlight and address IPV/DVA in nursing education and training, to scale up nursing understanding to respond and identify IPV/DVA appropriately in a clinical environment.

“…The presence of children, the type of victimization, and cultural values also influence women to seek help (27) . A scoping review conducted with data from 2000 to 2015 concluded that there is a low level of education for nursing/midwifery staff and students, so many nurses lack knowledge and skills in identifying, understanding, and providing appropriate care for women living with IPV (28) . A study (2) also refers to preparedness, lack of comfort, and consistency among health care providers facing IPV.…”

“…Professionals and services have to be prepared to support the victims and their families, independent from their needs and hopes. We can also recommend education services and resources directed to IPV professionals, the need for an effective screening tool, and having mandatory IPV screening in the health services (2,28) . Emergency nurses may be able to identify and respond to victims of IPV (1) .…”

Objective: This study was conducted to understand the experiences of intimate partner violence among women from Portuguese-speaking countries living in the Greater Toronto Area. Method: A social phenomenological study was conducted with ten Portuguesespeaking women who had experienced intimate partner violence who were selected by community centre leaders. The interviews were transcribed, translated and analysed by categories. Results: The consequences of violence included health problems, effects on children, and negative feelings among the victims. Factors preventing the women from leaving abusive partners included religious beliefs, challenging daily jobs, and the need to take care of their husband. Factors that encouraged them to leave included getting support and calling the police. Some women expressed hope for the future either with their husband. Others, desired divorce or revenge. Their plans to rebuild their lives without their husband included being happy, learning English, and being financially stable. Conclusion: Using these findings can implicate in the improvement of care for these women. DESCRIPTORS
