“…The attitudes of students in the experimental and control groups towards their occupational roles in addressing violence and women exposed to violence were evaluated at the beginning of the study, and it was determined that the students had traditional attitudes. In contrast to this study's findings, some previous studies found that students had contemporary and positive attitudes that were very different from traditional attitudes, while other studies, like the current study, found that students held a traditional point of view on violence against women .

Emotional-behavioral resilience and competence in preschool children exposed and not exposed to intimate partner violence in early life
