“…According to Kaplan et al (2014) and Tufan-Kocak, Türkkan, Seren (2014), the attitudes of nursing students towards DV were negative, and they had adopted traditional gender roles. According to some studies, nursing and midwifery students also lacked confidence in recognizing and responding to abuse (BradburyJones, Broadhurst, 2015), were ill-prepared to deal with domestic violence in clinical practice (Beccaria et al, 2013), and had not received sufficient training, practical skills, and classroom knowledge to effectively manage abuse against women (Majumdar, 2004). Some studies have indicated that attitudes to gender roles of healthcare students are in line with traditional views, with adverse effects on attitudes towards DV (Kanbay et al, 2012;Kaplan et al, 2014;Karabulutlu, 2015).…”

“…Thus, training in DV is very important, and is associated with gender roles, since midwives with egalitarian attitudes towards gender roles are more likely to have positive attitudes towards DV. Undergraduate education is also a critical time for developing attitudes towards DV and attitudes to gender roles necessary to identify, prevent, and manage DV, and to create support for victims of violence (Beccaria et al, 2013). Hence, this study evaluated the effectiveness of a gender equality course on the attitudes of undergraduate midwifery students towards DV and gender roles.…”

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.

“…Studies have demonstrated relationships between IPV and physical injuries (Macy, Giattina, Sangster, Crosby, & Montijo, 2009), homicide (McLaughlin, O'Carroll, & O'Connor, 2012), deliberate self-harm (Jaquier, Hellmuth, & Sullivan, 2013), depression (Huang, Yang, & Omaye, 2011;Taft, Bryant-Davis, Woodward, Tillman, & Torres, 2009), post-traumatic stress disorders (Nixon, Resick, & Nishith, 2004;Peltzer, Pengpid, McFarlane, & Banyini, 2013), suicide thoughts and behaviors (Devries et al, 2011;Gold, Singh, Marcus, & Palladino, 2012) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (El-Bassel, Gilbert, Wu, Go, & Hill, 2005;Sareen, Pagura, & Grant, 2009). Research has also proved that IPV had profound harmful effect on woman's well-being (Beccaria et al, 2013).…”

Objective: Throughout the world intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant issue and it is important that nurses contribute to policy development, as well as to the nursing care of families. Nurses are uniquely positioned to identify, and support women experiencing IPV. For them to contribute to policy development, they need firstly to develop a better understanding of the issue and to their role in addressing it. This study explored and compared perceptions, attitudes and knowledge of IPV of nursing students in Australia and Spain. Methods: Students from all levels of the nursing programs in both countries participated in focus groups and a follow up survey exploring their understanding of, and attitudes towards IPV. The data from the focus groups was analysed thematically and the quantitative data from the survey statistically. Results: Spanish nursing students had significantly more positive/comprehensive views about the role nurses have in managing IPV, had a stronger view about the nurses' role and that they were more prepared. Although the Australian and Spanish participants were not identical, for example, the Australian sample was predominantly female and over the age of 35, these factors do not explain why the difference. The study was only undertaken in one Australian University and one Spanish university so results cannot be generalised to either country. Conclusions: The findings suggest that there may be much more that could be done to prepare nurses to deal with issues of IPV and to take a lead role in recommending policy changes worldwide.
