Bridging the Gaps: Nursing Education, Cultural Dynamics, and Future Research on Violence Against Women
Abdulkareem Iblasi, Rahaf RajjoubDear Editor, I am writing in response to the recently published study entitled: “The Relationship Between Nursing Students’ Attitudes Towards Violence Against Women, Gender Roles, and Self-Esteem” (Merve & Didem, 2024). By providing evidence of the relationship between attitudes towards violence and self-esteem, as well as current gender role beliefs among nursing students in Turkey, the study illuminates a crucial topic. As interested investigators studying comparable sociocultural phenomena, we thank the researchers for tackling this issue and enhancing conversations around gender-based violence in this part of the world. However, the study also encourages a more extensive discussion about any gaps and possible additions that could improve the breadth and relevance of its conclusions.
