Summary

This study tests whether a structured training program can improve nursing students' awareness of child abuse and neglect. 120 students in Istanbul will be randomly assigned to receive the training or not. Their knowledge will be measured before and one month after the training. The goal is to see if this kind of education can better prepare nurses to identify and help abused children.
