Objective:This study was conducted to determine the relationship between midwifery and nursing students' gender role and domestic violence attitudes and life values. Method:The study used a descriptive design. A total of 801 midwifery and nursing students studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences of a university in the Black Sea region constituted the sample. The data were collected using Introductory Information Form, the Life Values Inventory, Attitudes towards Domestic Violence Questionnaire, and the Gender Role Attitudes Scale. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Mann Whitney U test, the Kruskal Wallis test, the Bonferroni paired comparison test, and the Spearman correlation test in the SPSS 22 program. Results: The study revealed that the students' life values were positive (11.49±2.39), their positive attitudes towards domestic violence were low (22.37±7.63), and gender role attitudes were equalitarian (146.62±19.80). The gender attitudes of midwifery students, senior students, female students, and those exposed to violence were found to be equalitarian, while their positive attitudes towards domestic violence were low. Life values of midwifery students and female students were found to be more positive than others. It was found that the gender role attitudes of the students are positively correlated with their life values and negatively correlated with attitudes towards domestic violence. Conclusion:In line with the results obtained, it is recommended to address the topics of gender, life values and domestic violence thoroughly in the undergraduate curricula and to conduct new studies to evaluate the content and effectiveness of the existing courses.
