According to the results of some studies, awareness and attitude towards violence against women in different groups of society are different. Therefore, this issue should be studied in different groups, especially medical personnel. International law and national law should be studied. Nurses are the first link in the chain of communication for identifying and helping the victims of domestic violence. Educating this group is therefore the most crucial step in the prevention and reduction of instances of domestic violence against women. The present study examines the effect of, education on the legal aspects of domestic violence against women through social networks, on the awareness and attitude of nursing students.

“…10,17,20 Yapılan bazı çalışmalarda bizim bulgumuzdan farklı olarak sağlık profesyonellerinin ve öğrencilerin mesleki rolleri üzerinde şiddet ile ilgili eğitimin olumlu tutum geliştirmelerinde yararlı olduğu belirtilmiştir. 13,14,[21][22][23] Bu farklıkların nedeni örneklem gruplarının farklı olması ile açıklanabilir.

Opinions of male nursing students about violence against women: A qualitative study

“…Therefore, it is of great importance that the beliefs and attitudes of male healthcare professionals including nurses about violence against women should be evaluated. Some research has explored the opinions of nursing students on violence against women (Akgun & Sahin, 2017; Bahadır Yýlmaz & Öz, 2018; Doran & Hutchinson, 2016; Khazaienejad et al., 2019; Rocha et al., 2015; Sabancıogulları et al., 2016; Silva et al., 2018; Sobrinho et al., 2019), but our search for studies in which the views of male nursing students about violence against women were investigated revealed a gap. However, such a study is important in terms of preserving and developing women's health and preventing the recurrence of problems through mitigating the risk factors of violence against women (Doran et al., 2019).…”
