“…IPV is considered the most frequent type of violence against women and to a lesser extent against men. It occurs in all countries, independent of economic, social, cultural or religious group (Doran & Hutchinson 2016;Regueira-Di eguez et al 2015). Health professionals can also be victims of violence by their intimate partner (Rodr ıguez-Borrego et al 2011).…”

“…As we have previously indicated, they show attitudes that encourage or normalise IPV, with stereotyped mindsets and mistaken ideas about domestic violence (Doran and Hutchinson, 2016). The lecturers stress however that their attitudes change and their level of engagement rises following IPV training, an assertion which is substantiated by studies conducted with nursing students (Belknap, 2003;Macías et al, 2012) and which underlines the need for such training.…”

a b s t r a c tWhile nurses and midwives are in a unique position to identify and help victims of IPV, since they are often their first point of contact in the healthcare system, they need appropriate training. This study sought to examine the presence of IPV-related contents and the depth to which they are addressed in the bachelor's degree in Nursing and in the Midwifery specialisation programme. The study also explored lecturers' motivations for including IPV in their subjects. The methodology employed was qualitative. Indepth interviews were conducted with 16 university lecturers who teach IPV contents in the Nursing degree and Midwifery specialisation programme. The study took place in Catalonia (Spain). The research shows that lecturers feel personally committed in the training for prevention and detection of IPV. The main teaching methodology is active, experiential and requires student activity. In all cases, the lecturers call for more time and spaces to be made available to carry out this training. It would be desirable for more time to be dedicated to nurses and midwives' university training in IPV. The topic should be approached with a more cross-disciplinary, systematised focus from all perspectives: health, psychological, social, ethical and legal. It is important that the training of teaching staff in IPV should be fostered and methodised.

“…In order for nurses to screen for IPV and appropriately respond to survivors, it is important for nurses to receive adequate and effective IPV education and training (Anderzen‐Carlsson et al, 2018), as well as well‐designed “prequalification” healthcare provider training (i.e., for students) (Crombie et al, 2017; WHO, 2013). However, nursing education is often quite inadequate related to IPV (Alshammari et al, 2018; Bradbury‐Jones & Broadhurst, 2015; Doran & Hutchinson, 2017) and nursing students lack knowledge and confidence to address IPV in practice, talk to IPV survivors, or effectively assist or empathise with them (Bradbury‐Jones & Broadhurst, 2015; Doran & Hutchinson, 2017; Thornton & Persuad, 2017). Further, systematic evaluations of the impact or effectiveness of IPV education and training administered in nursing schools are relatively rare.…”

Background: Identifying factors related to intimate partner violence (IPV) screening intentions of future nurses is critical, but no studies specific to this research area exist in Thailand; nor does any validated instrument currently exist to systematically evaluate Thai nursing students' IPV training or measure their readiness to address IPV. The purpose of this study was to develop the Intimate Partner Violence Screening Intention, Nursing Students (IPVSI-NS) for Thai nursing students and identify components explaining their intentions to screen for intimate partner violence (IPV). Method: We designed a Thai-language, culturally appropriate 36-item instrument based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), which describes intentions as the precursors of actual behaviour. We then conducted an anonymous cross-sectional online survey of female senior Thai nursing students (N = 594). Principal component analysis with varimax methods was used to examine the component structure of the instrument. The internal consistency reliability and convergent construct validity were evaluated. See Supporting File S1. Results: A six-component structure was evident which explained 59.56% of variance and identified: attitudes (advantages and disadvantages of screening), subjective norms (support from important people, and opinions of important people and policy) and perceived behavioural control (training experience, teamwork, facility resources and screening barriers). Conclusion: The IPVSI-NS, based on the TPB, provides a psychometrically sound, reliable and valid tool for Thai nursing educators and researchers to advance nursing education, practice and research regarding IPV. Relevance to clinical practice: Provides support for the components of the TPB (attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control) as an excellent fit to predict intention of IPV screening for future clinical nurses. Implications for future research and educational practice are discussed.
