<p>Violence is an important public health problem that restricts human rights and freedoms. The study aimed to determine the attitudes of nurses towards violence against women, their level of recognition of signs of violence, and their intention to report violence. The present study was designed as a cross-sectional descriptive study. In order to collect research data, a face-to-face questionnaire was applied to 341 nurses and an introductory information form was prepared by the researchers based on the literature, the Attitudes towards Violence against Women Scale, the Scale for Nurses and Midwives to Recognise the Signs of Violence Against Women, and the Scale of Healthcare Professionals’ Intention/Behavior to Report Intimate Partner Violence against Women. In the study, methods such as percentages, t-tests, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation were used. Among the participants, 76.5% were female, 57.8% were not married, and the mean age was 28.49 ± 5.43 years. The study found that health professionals’ level of recognition of signs of violence against women was at a moderate level, while their intention and behaviour to report was at a high level. It is important to organise in-service training to increase the knowledge and skills of health professionals in recognising and reporting violence against women. In addition, the establishment of clear instructions and procedures regarding violence against women in institutions will guide how health professionals should act when they encounter such situations.</p>
