Amaç: Bu çalışma bir tıp fakültesi hastanesi hemşirelerinin kadına yönelik şiddete bakış açılarını ve bu konudaki uygulamalarını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır.
Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı türdedir. Konya’da bir tıp fakültesinde çalışan 392 hemşire ile yapılmıştır. Araştırmada 36 soruluk bir veri toplama formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin özetlenmesinde sayı ve yüzdelikler, kategorik veriler arası ilişkilerin belirlenmesinde Ki-kare (χ2) testi kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel olarak p<0.05 anlamlı kabul edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların yarısından fazlası (%60.2) şiddet mağdurlarının sorunlarıyla başa çıkabilmek için eğitime ihtiyaç duyduklarını ve yaklaşık üçte biri (%30.6) şiddetle ilgili yapılandırılmış, profesyonel bir eğitim almak istediklerini belirtti. Hemşirelerin %44.1’i şüpheli bir şiddet olayıyla karşılaştıklarını ifade ederken; yalnız beşte biri (%20.9) şiddetin olası nedenleriyle ilgili soruya yanıt verdi ve düşük eğitim düzeyine sahip olma en sık kaydedilen yanıttı (n=31, %7.9). Vücutta morluk, şişlik ve yaralar (%66.8) ile kadınların açıklanamayan psikolojik yakınmaları (%52.8) katılımcılar için şiddet şüphesinin ana ipuçlarıydı. Ekonomik ve sözlü şiddet hemşireler tarafından en çok tanık olunan şiddet türleriydi (%36.7). Kadına yönelik şiddetten kuşku duyma 18-27 yaş grubunda diğer yaş gruplarına kıyasla daha düşüktü (p<0.001), evli hemşirelerde bekarlara kıyasla daha yüksekti (p=0.001) ve şiddetle ilgili bir seminere veya kursa katılmış hemşirelerde daha yüksekti (p=0.03)
Sonuç: Araştırmaya katılan hemşirelerin beşte birinin kadına yönelik şiddet konusunda eğitim aldığı belirlenmiştir. Katılan hemşirelerin yarısı kariyeri boyunca şiddete maruz kalan en az bir kadınla karşılaştığını, beşte biri de tanıdığı bir kadının şiddet gördüğünü bildirmiştir. Genç ve bekar hemşirelerin şiddetten şüphe duyması, yaşça daha büyük ve evli hemşirelere göre düşük bulunmuştur.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the views and practices of a medical faculty nurses about violence against women.
Methods: The research is descriptive. It was conducted with 392 nurses working in a medical faculty in Konya. A 36-question data collection form was used in the study. Numbers and percentages were used to summarize the research data, and Chi-square (χ2) test was used to determine the relationships between categorical data.
Results: More than a half of participants (60.2%) noted their need for an education about how to manage problems of a violence victim and approximately one third (30.6%) specified a structured, professional education need about violence. Although 44.1% reported an suspicion of violence they experienced, interestingly, just one of five (20.9%) answered the questions asking the probable reasons of violence and low education level of violent was at the top of answers (n=31; 7.9%). Bruise, swelling, and wounds on the body (66.8%) and unexplained psychological complaints of women (52.8%) were the main cues for violence suspicion for participants. Economic and verbal violence were the types of violence nurses noted mostly (36.7%). Suspicion of violence against women was lower in the 18–27 age group than older age groups (p<0.001), it was higher in married than singles (p=0.001) and it was significantly higher in the nurses who went to a seminar or course on violence (p=0.03).
Conclusion: It was determined that one fifth of the nurses participating in the study received training on approach to violence against women. Half of the participating nurses reported that they encountered at least one woman who was subjected to violence during their career, and one fifth reported that a woman they knew experienced violence. The suspicion of violence by young and single nurses was found to be lower than older and married nurses.
