Abstract
Purpose
Although intimate partner violence is a type of violence that women are frequently
exposed to, its victims are adversely affected by violence at various levels, bio-psycho-socially.
This study was conducted to determine the relationship between exposure to spousal
violence, communication skills and burnout levels in female nurses.
Material and methods
The study was carried out in a descriptive and cross-sectional research design. The
study was conducted in a university hospital in the Black Sea region of Turkey in
September 2021. Sample selection was not made in the study, and female nurses who
agreed to participate in the study were included in the study. The study's sample
size is 165 female nurses. A personal Information Form, Intimate Partner Violence
Scale, Communication Skills Scale, and Burnout Scale were used to collect data.
Findings
It was concluded that the exposure of female nurses to spouse violence significantly
affects their communication skills and there is a significant relationship between
nurses' communication skills and burnout levels (P = 0.001).
Practical implications
The attitudes and behaviors of nurses who are strong in the caregiving process are
very important. Personal characteristics, communication styles and body language of
nurses who are exposed to partner violence are reflected in nursing care practices
and affect the caregiving process. In this context, prevention and intervention approaches
for intimate partner violence of female nurses should be known.
