A PRISMA protocol for systematic review methodology was applied. Included were studies evaluating interventions aimed at reducing adverse events and improving the reporting processes in emergency departments.

The steps in using photovoice are to establish connections with the relevant community/group, recruit participants, conduct introductory group meetings, collect individual data, organise individual and group interviews, and report results. First-year nursing students enrolled in an undergraduate degree program at a university in Turkey were recruited. The study was approved by Necmettin Erbakan University Health Sciences Scientific Research Ethics Board with the decision numbered 2023/523.

These photographs were then debated and analysed.</div></div><div><h3>Findings</h3><div>Three main categories emerged: ‘Women Victimised by Inequality from Family to Society,’ ‘Learned Helplessness and Normalisation,’ and ‘The Importance of Societal Perspective and Awareness.’ Students highlighted that in their society, women are not treated as equals to men. In societies where men are dominant and do not value women, women can be subjected to violent treatment both outside and in social settings; learned helplessness and normalisation were the underlying factors of violence. Those students exposed to violence from a young age described themselves as resorting to violence as a means of conflict resolution and, on occasion, held misconceptions that violence was justified. Those who normalised violence played an important role in carrying this cycle on to future generations. The outcomes from this work were exhibited on International Women’s Day, providing a platform for the deanery, rectorate, and the public to engage.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>This study raised students’ awareness of gender-based violence, encouraged critical thinking about its cultural and social dimensions, and amplified students’ voices through a photo exhibition. Given the well-documented impact of gender-based violence, schools and universities are in a pivotal position for advocacy and prevention. Training and awareness raising are needed across all sections of society with the aim of preventing gender-based violence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55241,"journal":{"name":"Collegian","volume":"32 1","pages":"Pages 26-33"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143094495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
