Abstract
UNLABELLED: Introducing best practice approaches to help nursing students identify and respond to patients who are/have been exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) is instrumental to their professional development. The objectives of this study are to gather preliminary data from the American Association for the Colleges of Nursing (AACN) affiliated schools of nursing to determine 1) if they offer any training of students at the undergraduate or graduate level in identifying and responding to IPV; 2) if so, what are the components of that training, outcomes, and satisfaction with the existing approach; 3) if not, what are the individual and institutional level barriers to offering this training; and 4) if schools are interested in incorporating best practice, IPV training content into their curriculum. DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 836 AACN affiliated nursing schools across the US were surveyed using a 64-item electronic survey. RESULTS: Of the 95 (11%) schools that completed at least 40% of the survey, approximately 60% offer IPV training once at the undergraduate level and only 30% offered such preparation at the graduate level. We found that most IPV education took place as embedded material within an existing course. Those nursing schools not providing any IPV education identified that they would like to at both levels and the 50% of nursing schools already providing this education said they wanted to provide more. The greatest barriers to offering IPV education were lack of faculty expertise and time constraints, yet about 70% of the participants stated that IPV education should be an essential part of undergraduate and graduate nursing school. CONCLUSION: This study provides useful insights to inform IPV curriculum development by identifying common gaps in IPV education experienced by participating schools and strategies for addressing them.
