Abstract

PURPOSE: This study was planned to determine the sensitivity of university students to violence toward children. DESIGN AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study consisted of students from nursing, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and midwifery departments, health technician programs, and medical faculty. Data were collected using a sociodemographic information form and the scale of sensitivity to violence toward children.

FINDINGS: The difference between the scores of the university students from the scale was found statistically significant according to their departments, gender, and years (P > 0.05). The sociodemographic variables of the students were determined to affect the scores that they got from the scale of sensitivity to violence toward children by 4.6% (P < 0.05). IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: More child-related content should be added to the educational curriculum.
