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.
