Background & aim: The phenomenon of aggression and its occurrence is one of the serious and pervasive harms and issues in today's societies that it is very important to know the causes, extent and ways to reduce this social problem. The aim of this study was to investigate the level of aggression and the factors affecting it in students of Ardabil School of Nursing and Midwifery in 2019.
Methods: This research is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study that was performed on all students of Ardabil School of Nursing and Midwifery in the first half of 2019 by stratified random sampling. Demographic information and Eysenck and Glyn Wilson aggression questionnaire were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and descriptive and analytical statistics.
Results: The results showed the mean aggression of 26.98±8.54, which indicated the moderate aggression in students. The mean aggression in boys (28.46±8.84) was higher than girls (25.52±8.03) and 4th semester students had the highest mean anger with mean and standard deviation of 32.78±9.49. The findings also showed that emergency medical students had the highest mean anger among other students (31.92 ± 6.42) (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results showed that the level of students' aggression was moderate. Considering the confirmed relationship between aggression and social problems, it is better to pay more attention to reducing it. It is also suggested to study the factors that cause aggression among students and provide the necessary training to reduce aggression in this group.
