Synopsis
This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of detailed training on violence on compassion. The study was conducted between September and December 2023 with 67 nursing students studying at a health sciences faculty in a province in eastern Turkey who agreed to participate. A Personal Information Form and a Compassion Scale were used to collect data. Ethics committee, institutional, and scale use permissions were obtained from the relevant institution for the study. Students in the experimental group received two hours of violence training per week, in addition to their routine training, for a total of 10 weeks. The control group continued their routine nursing training. Data collected before and after the violence training were analyzed using SPSS. Percentage, mean, Chi-Square test, and ANCOVA were used. Of the 67 participants in the experimental and control groups, 85.1% were women. 77.6% lived in nuclear families, 76.1% had mothers and 50.7% had fathers who graduated from primary or secondary school, and 83.6% had incomes that matched their expenses. The experimental and control groups were found to be comparable, and a final ANCOVA analysis found that violence-related education had no effect on compassion. Different interventions should be tried to develop compassion, which is not affected by violence-related education.
