Examensmålet mäns våld mot kvinnor och våld i nära relationer. Socionom- och sjuksköterskestudenters uppfattningar om sin kunskap, erfarenhet och förmåga gällande våld i nära relationer i början och slutet av utbildningen

Abstract

In this cross-sectional study, 538 social work- and nursing students perceptions of their knowledge of men’s violence against women and domestic violence are examined. A percentage of the students estimate that they have knowledge and experience, already at the beginning of their studies, knowledge that they have gained through previous studies and work experiences. The students’ estimates indicate that both programs address issues of violence, although the extent varies. The study shows few differences between perceived knowledge and experience of social work- and nursing students. The study indicates that students acquire knowledge and experience also through teaching, VFU and work alongside their studies and that students at the end of the educations rate their knowledge and ability to act professionally higher, compared to students at the beginning of the educations.
