Highlights

• The World Health Organization considers violence against women, or gender-based violence (GBV), as one of the main causes of disability and death for women, and it is recognized as a public health problem [1–4]

• Nurses are essential professionals in the early identification, quality of victim care, and prevention [12]. They are often the first contact to these victims [13]. This is the reason for this study, which was conducted to analyze the satisfaction with a training program, based on simulated video consultations and attitudes of nursing students, to better understand their beliefs and myths related to gender-based violence, as well to analyze their perception about the skills needed to be improved and those aspects that had already improved after the training program, based on simulated video consultations

Summary

Introduction

The World Health Organization considers violence against women, or gender-based violence (GBV), as one of the main causes of disability and death for women, and it is recognized as a public health problem [1–4]. Intimate partner violence includes stalking, sexual and physical violence, and psychological aggression by intimate male partners or ex-partners [5,6]. The emergence of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in December 2019, which later turned into a worldwide pandemic, aggravated GBV. To contain the spread of infection, several governments were forced to institute home quarantine and lockdown measures [7]. The COVID-19 pandemic, and the social confinement and isolation measures implemented to slow its spread, exacerbated the problem of domestic violence, which increased during this period [8,9].
