“…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., ). Studies in the United States (Shorey et al., ) and Nigeria (Boladale et al., ) showed that psychological aggression was the most common form of DV (54.9% and 21.9%, respectively), while sexual aggression was the least common (24.3% and 1.6%, respectively) (Boladale et al., ; Shorey et al., ).…”

“…Studies in the United States (Shorey et al., ) and Nigeria (Boladale et al., ) showed that psychological aggression was the most common form of DV (54.9% and 21.9%, respectively), while sexual aggression was the least common (24.3% and 1.6%, respectively) (Boladale et al., ; Shorey et al., ). A study in Turkey reported high rates of psychological aggression among women (85.2%) and men (75.6%) in dating relationships (Toplu‐Demirtas et al., ). Our findings highlight the importance of preventing dating violence because psychological violence within dating relationships is regarded as a major determinant of physical violence in future relations (Machado et al., ).…”

“…The prevalence of sexual DV victimization is 13.8% in the USA (Gressard et al., ), 9.2% in the Netherlands, and 42% in Greece (Chan et al., ). The results of local studies in Turkey have shown that the DV rate varies from 29‐79.5% (Aslan, Vefikuluçay, Zeyneloğlu, Erdost, & Temel, ; Toplu‐Demirtas, Hatipoglu‐Sümer, & White, ).…”

“…Third, previous international studies have reported that nurses lack the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and self‐confidence necessary to address interpersonal violence due to inadequate instruction and training, indicating a need to develop DV‐related knowledge, skills and training in undergraduate curricula (Beccaria et al., ; Freedberg, ). A few studies on DV in Turkey have involved university students (Aslan et al., ; Toplu‐Demirtas et al., ). However, we found no studies on DV victimization, perpetration, and predictors (e.g., residency place, alcohol use and smoking, witnessing of violence between parents and exposure to violence by parents) among nursing and midwifery students.…”

Aims:To determine the prevalence and predictors of victimization and perpetration of dating violence among nursing and midwifery students. Design:A cross-sectional study design. Methods:The sample consisted of nursing and midwifery students (N = 603) at the largest state university in southeastern Turkey. Data were collected with a validated, investigator-designed survey instrument between September 2015 and January 2016.Findings: Most participants had been exposed to dating violence. Jealousy, controlling behaviour, and restrictions on another's social life were not perceived as violent behaviour in dating relationships. There was no significant relationship of dating violence with gender, smoking, place of residence, or marijuana use. Exposure to parental violence and alcohol use were found to be the strongest predictors of being a perpetrator of violence in the dating violence perpetration model. Conclusion:The findings highlight the lack of recognition of dating violence among nursing and midwifery students. The perceptions of students should be enriched by adding content on violent behaviours in the curriculum of nursing and midwifery programmes.Impact: Efforts to reduce and stop dating violence have a crucial role in preventing future violence in established relationships. We acknowledge that the prevalence of dating violence among nursing and midwifery students is high. Psychological and verbal violence are extremely common and most are not recognized as violent behaviours by the students. This study contributes to the understanding of violent behaviours related to dating violence among nursing and midwifery students for establishing healthy relationship.

“…To our knowledge, there are five studies to date with college student samples, and these have mainly focused on sexual aggression in dating relationships. In these studies, prevalence rates of female victimization ranged between 0% and 84% (Aslan et al, 2008;Kabasakal & Girli, 2012;Kayı, Yavuz, & Arıcan, 2000;Toplu-Demirtaş, Hatipoğlu-Sümer, & White, 2013;Yiğitalp, Ertem, & Özkaynak, 2007). Only two studies investigated male sexual victimization (27.9%, Kabasakal & Girli, 2012;0%, Yiğitalp et al, 2007), and only one study (Aslan et al, 2008) measured perpetration of sexual violence in a small female sample, revealing a prevalence of 11.1%.…”

In Turkey, there is a shortage of studies on the prevalence of sexual aggression among young adults. The present study examined sexual aggression victimization and perpetration since the age of 15 in a convenience sample of N = 1,376 college students (886 women) from four public universities in Ankara, Turkey. Prevalence rates for different coercive strategies, victim-perpetrator constellations, and sexual acts were measured with a Turkish version of the Sexual Aggression and Victimization Scale (SAV-S). Overall, 77.6% of women and 65.5% of men reported at least one instance of sexual aggression victimization, and 28.9% of men and 14.2% of women reported at least one instance of sexual aggression perpetration. Prevalence rates of sexual aggression victimization and perpetration were highest for current or former partners, followed by acquaintances/friends and strangers. Alcohol was involved in a substantial proportion of the reported incidents. The findings are the first to provide systematic evidence on sexual aggression perpetration and victimization among college students in Turkey, including both women and men.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a severe human right violation and a significant public health problem in Turkey. However, its complexity and stratified relationship with mental health problems are still uncovered in this under researched community, as violence is often approached as a uniform health and social problem. In this study, we collected data from 539 female adults in heterosexual relationships in Turkey using convenience and snowball sampling. The aim was to examine violence‐related clusters and their association of these clusters with mental health outcomes, including depression, anxiety, and depression). We assessed whether participants experienced physical, sexual, and psychological violence in their intimate relationships and conducted a latent class analysis. We obtained five violence clusters: (1) no or low violence, (2) high psychological violence, (3) jealous control with physical violence, (4) moderate sexual and psychological violence, and (5) severe physical, sexual, and psychological violence. Analyses of variance showed that women who experienced multiple forms of IPV reported stronger depression, anxiety, and somatization compared with women in the no or low violence class. Additionally, they reported greater depression and anxiety compared with women who experienced only high psychological IPV. However, psychological violence amplified somatization as much as physical and sexual violence.
