Description
David Casero-Benavente and colleagues surveyed Spanish nurses in 2026 about how competent they feel when facing intimate partner violence. Nurses are often the first professionals positioned to spot abuse and start help. Yet limited training and cognitive biases can distort how they assess cases. The researchers surveyed just over two hundred nursing professionals with a validated competence scale built for nurses.
That scale measures four dimensions: intervening and referring, detecting and assessing abuse, documenting cases, and giving psychosocial support. The paper reports where perceived competence ran lowest across the group. Knowing exactly which skills feel weakest tells training programs where to aim. A nurse who doubts her documentation or referral skills may hesitate at the decisive moment. The study turns a vague worry about readiness into a specific training agenda.
