Teens and dating: study of factors that influence attitudes of violence

Abstract

The results point to the need to integrate the topic of dating violence in adolescent education using active methods with the effective participation of everyone involved in the process (adolescents, parents, teachers and health professionals). Only in this way will it be possible to develop healthy emotional relationship skills.

Perceptions and predictors of dating violence among nursing and midwifery students

“…We found that DV was prevalent among the participants and verbal and psychological violence were the most frequently experienced types of violence in dating relationships, while sexual violence was the least frequently experienced type of violence in dating relationships. These results of the research are consistent with the literature (Barreira et al., ; Boladale, Yetunde, Adesanmi, Olutayo, & Olanrewaju, ; Chan et al., ; Fernandez‐Fuertes & Fuertes, ; Ferreira et al., ; Foshee, Reyes et al., ; Lehrer, Lehrer, & Zhao, ; Ohnishi et al., ; Shorey et al., ; Volpe et al., ; Zhang et al., ). Researchers have identified psychological violence as the most common type of bidirectional violence perpetration in dating relationships (Chan, ; Ferreira et al., ; Ohnishi et al., ; Toplu‐Demirtas et al., ; Volpe et al., ; Zhang et al., ).…”

DV differs from other types of violence in the way it is experienced and its consequences.…”

“…DV differs from other types of violence in the way it is experienced and its consequences. It is difficult to intervene in DV and people often try to solve this problems on their own, feel ashamed of it, and prefer to hide it (Aslan et al., ; Ferreira et al., ). Previous studies have focused on women's experiences of violence in marital relationships and on men as domestic violence perpetrators.…”

“…Previous studies have focused on women's experiences of violence in marital relationships and on men as domestic violence perpetrators. However, recent studies have indicated that violence outside marriage is more common as “mutual abuse” (Barreira, de Lima, Bigras, Njaine, & Assis, ; Ferreira et al., ; Miller, ; Volpe, Hardie, & Cerulli, ).…”

“…All these dynamics increase the likelihood of DV among students attending nursing and midwifery schools. Thus, DV continues to be a covert problem no one wants to talk about (Ferreira et al., ; Foshee, Reyes et al., ).…”
