Abstract

A program evaluation of undergraduate nursing curricula content was completed and survey developed to assess undergraduate nursing students' knowledge about interpersonal violence. Students electively answered a 43-question survey regarding interpersonal violence as a public health problem. The sample included 104 traditional and accelerated undergraduate nursing students. Increasing scores during undergraduate program enrollment suggests that students receive some content on violence from the undergraduate curriculum. This study provides data about curricular deficits and proposes content revisions to prepare nursing students to address violence in patient populations.
