Survey of 202 Spanish Nurses on Intimate Partner Violence Competence and Bias

202 nursing professionals in Spain participated in a cross-sectional study evaluating their perceived competence in managing intimate partner violence. The data includes scores from the validated Intimate Partner Violence Competency Scale for Nurses across four dimensions: intervention and referral, detection and assessment, documentation, and psychosocial support. The dataset, authored by David Casero-Benavente and licensed CC-BY-4.0, reveals the lowest perceived competence in intervention and referral.

Use Cases

• Analyze perceived competence gaps in nursing based on the four ECVPE scale dimensions mentioned in the description
• Investigate the relationship between professional experience and competence based on the significant association reported
• Study perceptual biases in healthcare based on the reported conceptualization of IPV primarily as violence against women in heterosexual relationships

Strengths

• Uses a validated instrument, the Intimate Partner Violence Competency Scale for Nurses (ECVPE)
• Reports specific mean scores for competence dimensions, such as 2.45 for intervention and referral and 3.36 for psychosocial support
• Includes data from 202 nursing professionals

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single-country (Spain) study
