ABSTRACT
 Objective: This study aims to determine the effects of nursing students' interpersonal dependency levels and coping mechanisms on their attitudes towards dating violence. Material and Methods: This descriptive study included 303 nursing students attending a university between July 2022 and October 2022. Data were collected through digital media, and the ''Personal Information Form,'' ''Dating Violence Scale,'' ''Interpersonal Dependency Inventory,'' and ''Ways of Coping Inventory'' were used. The article was structured and written in accordance with the STROBE checklist. Results: The study revealed that 9.9% of nursing students reported experiencing dating violence, while 60.4% observed instances of dating violence within their social environments. Female nursing students were found to have a lower acceptance of dating violence. As the duration of the participants' dating relationships increased, their levels of interpersonal dependency decreased. It was observed that nursing students who were female, had a higher income, did not have a partner, and whose relationships lasted less than one year exhibited an increase in coping strategies. Conclusion: It was concluded that as the acceptance of dating violence increased, interpersonal dependency levels also increased, while positive coping strategies decreased. It was found that the female gender had a lower acceptance of dating violence. It is believed that an increase in interpersonal dependency levels may raise the acceptance of dating violence, whereas positive coping mechanisms may be effective in preventing the acceptance of dating violence. Awareness-raising approaches specific to romantic relationships are recommended to strengthen the coping and problem-solving mechanisms of nursing students.

Keywords: Dating violence; nursing students; interpersonal dependency; ways of coping; violence attitude
ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin kişilerarası bağımlılık düzeyi ve başa çıkma yollarının, flört şiddeti ile ilgili tutumları üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışmaya Temmuz 2022 ve Ekim 2022 tarihleri arasında bir üniversitede öğrenim gören 303 hemşirelik öğrencisi katılmıştır. Veriler, dijital medya aracılığıyla toplandı ve Kişisel Bilgi Formu, ''Flört Şiddeti Tutum Ölçeği'', ''Kişilerarası Bağımlılık Ölçeği'' ve ''Başa Çıkma Yolları Ölçeği''ni içermektedir. Makale STROBE kontrol listesine göre düzenlenmiş ve bu doğrultuda yazılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan hemşirelik öğrencilerinin %9,9'unun flört şiddeti yaşadığı, %60,4'ünün ise çevrelerinde flört şiddetine şahit olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kadın hemşirelik öğrencilerinin, flört şiddetini kabul düzeyinin daha az olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların flört ilişkilerinin süresi arttıkça, kişilerarası bağımlılık düzeylerinin azaldığı saptanmıştır. Cinsiyeti kadın, gelir durumu fazla, partneri olmayan ve ilişki süresi bir yıldan az olan hemşirelik öğrencilerinin başa çıkma stratejilerinde artış saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Flört şiddetinin kabulü ile kişilerarası bağımlılık düzeyleri artış gösterirken, olumlu başa çıkma stratejilerinin azaldığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Kadın cinsiyetinin flört şiddetinin kabulünün daha az olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kişilerarası bağımlılık düzeyindeki artışın flört şiddetinin kabulünü artırabileceği, olumlu başa çıkma mekanizmalarının ise flört şiddetinin kabulünü önlemede etkili olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin başa çıkma ve sorun çözme mekanizmalarını güçlendirmek için romantik ilişkilere özgü farkındalık artırıcı yaklaşımlar önerilmektedir.
