La violenza contro le donne è una delle problematiche più significative per la salute pubblica globale, con ripercussioni significative sul benessere fisico, psicologico e sociale delle vittime. Il pronto soccorso costituisce il primo punto di accesso al sistema sanitario, configurandosi come un contesto cruciale per garantire una presa in carico efficace, che non si limiti al trattamento delle lesioni fisiche ma includa un supporto emotivo adeguato. Il ruolo dell’infermiere è centrale in tale processo, ma la letteratura evidenzia lacune formative e difficoltà operative. Questa tesi, attraverso una revisione della letteratura, analizza l’impatto della formazione infermieristica sul supporto emotivo percepito dalle donne vittime di violenza che accedono in pronto soccorso. Sono stati consultati database internazionali (PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus) selezionando studi qualitativi, osservazionali e revisioni sistematiche pubblicate negli ultimi dieci anni. I risultati confermano che la formazione specifica incrementa la capacità degli infermieri di instaurare una comunicazione empatica, riduce la paura e l’ansia delle pazienti e migliora la fiducia nei servizi sanitari. Le implicazioni pratiche suggeriscono l’introduzione di programmi formativi obbligatori e protocolli condivisi nei contesti di emergenza. Futuri studi dovrebbero approfondire l’efficacia dei modelli multidisciplinari e il loro impatto sugli esiti clinici e relazionali.

Abstract
Violence against women is one of the most significant global public health issues, with substantial repercussions on the physical, psychological, and social well-being of victims. The emergency department represents the first point of access to the healthcare system, making it a crucial setting to ensure effective care that goes beyond the treatment of physical injuries and includes adequate emotional support. Nurses play a central role in this process, but the literature highlights training gaps and operational challenges. This thesis, through a literature review, analyzes the impact of nursing education on the emotional support perceived by women victims of violence who access emergency departments. International databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus) were consulted, selecting qualitative studies, observational research, and systematic reviews published in the last ten years. The results confirm that specific training enhances nurses’ ability to establish empathetic communication, reduces patients’ fear and anxiety, and improves trust in healthcare services. Practical implications suggest the introduction of mandatory training programs and shared protocols in emergency settings. Future studies should further explore the effectiveness of multidisciplinary models and their impact on clinical and relational outcomes.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
