Aprendizaje cooperativo para la sensibilización en violencia de género

Abstract

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health problem affecting millions of women in the world. Nurses are often the first health care professionals to assess victims of abuse.One of the most common identified barriers to nurses not screening for IPV is the lack of training. As a result, nurses may not recognize signs of IPV or feel confident in handling the situation.In order to ensure nursing degree students gain experience in assessing for IPV and implementing appropiate intervention strategies, nursing faculty developed an active and cooperative learning activity.This experience demonstrates the importance of equipping nurse students with the knowledge and skills in IPV to work with women as a competent nursing graduates.
