Research on university students’ witnessing domestic violence against women during their childhood and adolescence

A total of 400 people, who were the students of the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department and the Child Development Department at the Kirikkale University, created a working group of this research that had planned to determine the university student’s witnessing domestic violence against women during their childhood and adolescence. “Witnessing Domestic Violence against Women during the Childhood and Adolescence Scale” has been used as a data collection tool. At the end of the research, significant differences have been found, between the gender, age, class, education of the parents, occupation of the mother, level of income, the most lived place, number of siblings and verbal-minor physical violence, serious physical violence sub-dimensions and scale score of witnessing violence by the university students (p<0.05). Positive relations have appeared between verbal-minor physical violence and serious physical violence sub-dimensions, and witnessing violence, between the serious physical violence sub-dimension and witnessing violence
