Abstract

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.
