Abstract :Aim: It is to determine the level of recognition of the signs of violence against women of health school students. Method: Our study is cross-sectional descriptive. The population of the study consisted of 170 nursing and emergency relief and disaster management (Ayay) students studying in the 2016-2017 academic year, while the sample was 140 students. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form and the "The Scale Of Recognizing The Signs Of Violence Against Women Of Nurse, Midwifery And Doctors” (SRSVAWNMD). Mean, standard deviation, percentage distribution, Mann Whitney U test and ANOVA were used to analyze the data. Results: Participating students of 106 were studying in the nursing department and 34 were in the Emergency Relief and Disaster Management department. The total scale score was 18.90 ± 2.99. According to gender, women's physical (p = 0.001), emotional (p = 0.045) violence symptoms sub-scale and total scale scores (p = 0.001) were found to be significantly higher than male students. There was no statistically significant difference between the total score of the scale according to the training, witnessing violence against women or departments (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The level of defining the signs of violence against women of health school students was found to be insufficient. It has been suggested to include the issue of violence and the roles of healthcare professionals in the curriculum.
