Current relationships normalize events that allow the acceptance of abusive behavior (Viejo-Almanzor, 2012). Young people who experienced violence in their first dating relationships are three times more likely to be re-victimized, in addition to presenting high rates of depression, anxiety, injuries, suicidal ideation, stress among other conditions (Temple, Le, Muir, Goforth, & Mcelhany, 2013).
With students, the faculty makes it possible to communicate and detect young people involved in violent relationships (Genovés & Tello, 2009).
The objective is evaluate the knowledge of the university community about dating violence and its consequences, as well as the ability to distinguish and differentiate violent events within love relationships. Information was collected from key agents (teachers) and students.
The results confirm that 43% of the student sample say they have experienced some form of violence with their previous partners. Students have had diseases and symptoms such as hand tremor, lower abdominal discomfort, depressive mood, constipation, nightmares, back pain, excess weight, stomach pain, migraine or migraine, among others.
The faculty expresses an open acceptance of the existence of partner violence in university students, which is not perceived in the same way by students, because the situations have been normalized, only 30% of the population openly accepts to be or have found themselves in a situation of violence, it is also shown that there is little awareness of the repercussions of the phenomenon on their health, however there is the presence of physical discomforts and / or diseases in the students who have been raped.
So it is convenient to prevent violence in courtship, not only by making known the main characteristics, but also by encouraging healthy relationships.
