Background: Violence in clinical learning environments poses a significant occupational risk in educational environments. Effective management of violence in clinical education is crucial not only for ensuring the safety and well-being of students but also for enhancing their confidence and competence in facing challenging situations and contributing to their professional commitment. This study aimed to investigate the violence management competence in the clinical learning environments in the Ardabil Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery students in 2024.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 among 420 participants, including nursing, midwifery, operating room, and prehospital emergency care students who had completed at least two semesters. The samples were selected using a stratified random sampling method. Data were collected using the Clinical Learning Environment Violence Management Competency Questionnaire developed by Dongyan et al. (2020). Data analysis was performed using SPSS-26, applying t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient, with a significance level of less than 0.05.
Results: Participants included 223 nursing (58.1%), 64 operating room (16.7%), 49 prehospital emergency care (12.8%), and 48 midwifery (12.5%) students. The mean age of the participants was 22.61 years. Approximately 82.3% of the students expressed a need for educational programs on violence management. Most students (94.5%) reported having an average level of competence in violence management in clinical learning environments. A positive correlation was observed between age and violence management competence (p<0.05). In addition, students who were less concerned about violence in the clinical learning environments were found to have better competence in violence management. Furthermore, students with a history of personal behavioral violence demonstrated better competence in violence management in the clinical learning environments compared to others (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The competence of the studied students to manage violence in the clinical learning environments was at an average level. Moreover, this competency was higher in older students. It is recommended that adequate training on the signs of violence and prevention methods be provided to students to help them minimize harm when they encounter such situations.
