Summary

Violence is a major global public health problem, causing approximately 1.5 million deaths each year. Dating violence, a common form of violence among young people, has serious consequences for women's and youths' physical and mental health, including mortality, chronic diseases, mental disorders, risky health behaviors, and substantial economic burden. As future healthcare providers, nursing students' myths, attitudes, and perceptions regarding dating violence can directly influence the quality and sensitivity of the care they deliver to survivors. Current literature mainly consists of descriptive studies focusing on nursing students' perceptions or attitudes toward dating violence, while experimental and structured educational interventions are limited. This study aims to develop and evaluate an educational program supported by high-fidelity simulation and flipped learning to increase nursing students' awareness levels regarding dating violence, as well as to address their myths, attitudes, and perceptions. In the flipped learning component, students will review digital educational materials before class and actively participate in in-class activities; in the simulation component, students will engage in realistic scenarios involving dating violence cases to enhance their clinical readiness and care competencies. The study is designed to contribute to the prevention of dating violence by strengthening nursing students' knowledge, awareness, and professional responsibility in this field.

Conditions

• Nursing Students
• Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	High-Fidelity Simulation-Based Education	Nursing students in this group will receive an educational program on dating violence using high-fidelity simulation. Students will participate in realistic clinical scenario involving women exposed to dating violence, followed by debriefing and feedback sessions. The intervention is designed to improve students' recognition, assessment, and reporting of dating violence cases.
BEHAVIORAL	Flipped Classroom-Based Education	A flipped classroom educational program on dating violence. Students are provided with digital learning materials (videos, presentations, and readings) prior to class. During class sessions, students engage in discussions, case studies, and interactive activities focused on dating violence recognition, myths, and appropriate nursing care and reporting.
