Effects of screen-based simulation method on the attitudes and practices of nursing students regarding intimate partner violence: Randomized controlled trial

Abstract

Background

Nurses are health workers who often interact with women exposed to violence first, making it essential for them to be competent in managing such cases, starting from their education.

Method

In this randomized controlled, single blind study, a pretest-posttest control group design was used. The intervention group received screen-based simulation training on IPVAW, while the control group received a 50-minute online lecture.

Results

There were significant differences between scale scores over time and between the groups, but not in the group-by-time interaction.

Conclusions

This study highlights screen-based simulations as effective tools for IPVAW education in nursing.
