    (Maltepe Üniversitesi, 2020) Aynacı, Gülden; Acar, Zeliha
    Aim: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV); Is an important public health problem in Turkey. Nurses play an important role in the evaluation, intervention and support of women who are exposed to violence. It is reported by the World Health Organization that women below the age of 50 are 61% physically abused by their partners. In universities, nursing undergraduate education; student nurses should be ensured to be ready for these future roles. The knowledge and attitudes of undergraduate students about IPV should be evaluated. It’s important in terms of making the necessary interventions into the undergraduate education processes. Methods: Our study was conducted September 2019- January 2020 with 276 volunteer students in Trakya University School of Health Nursing undergraduate program. After asking their sociodemographic characteristics, IPV questions were asked to evaluate the level of knowledge, attitude and awareness about IPV. This questionnaire consisted of 3 subscales. These are; “Nursing self-efficacy”, “nursing roles and values”, “preparation for education”. Results: The results of the study; showed that the awareness level of IPV of students is low. The scores of the students from the three subscales were low. Their self-efficacy perceptions were low in recognizing a woman who was subjected to violence and creating necessary care and supports interventions. The issue of informing the victim about their legal rights was a concern for students. They didn’t fully know the role of nurses in preventing abuse. The area where students had the best level of self-confidence was their ability to communicate. Conclusion: The knowledge, attitude of being aware of IPV and providing effective interventions are directly related to the self-efficacy of the nurses. This will increase the quality of social health service. The students aren’t fully aware of the importance and impact on the individual, social level. In order to prevent IPV, one of the duties olaof healthcare professionals is; to realize violence, to apply care interventions of physical violence, to provide psychosocial support. This social problem is less detected; it can reduce the benefit to women. They had low confidence in understanding women who had been subjected to violence, but who didn’t express it directly. In order for nurses to take a more active role in preventing violence against women in society, it’s not only individual patient care; it’s important that they have preventive approach skills.
