This study examines the crucial role of nurses in identifying and reporting violence against women (VAW) within Turkey's healthcare system. By assessing their attitudes, recognition skills, and reporting intentions, the research highlights potential systemic gaps and opportunities for intervention. Understanding these factors is vital for developing effective training protocols that empower nurses to act as frontline responders. The findings could inform policy adjustments aimed at strengthening support mechanisms for both victims and healthcare providers.
