Does gender perception influence the acceptance of dating violence myths among health sciences students?
Article in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimThis study aimed to examine the association between gender perception and the acceptance of dating violence myths among health sciences students.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 628 students enrolled in the Faculty of Health Sciences at a public university in Türkiye. Data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, the Gender Perception Scale (GPS), and the Dating Violence Myths Scale (DVMS). Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis were performed.
resultsThe mean total GPS score was 104.38 ± 15.32 and the mean total DVMS score was 18.08 ± 7.42. A moderate negative correlation was observed between GPS and DVMS scores (r = − 0.438, p < 0.001). In regression analysis, higher GPS scores were associated with lower DVMS scores (β = − 0.254, p < 0.001). Male students showed higher DVMS scores than female students (β = 0.315, p < 0.001), and class level was weakly associated with DVMS scores (β = − 0.083, p = 0.026). The model accounted for 25.8% of the variance in DVMS scores (Adjusted R² = 0.258).
conclusionsGender perception was associated with acceptance of dating violence myths among health sciences students. These findings suggest that educational approaches addressing gender equality and awareness may be relevant for university settings; however, causal inferences cannot be drawn due to the cross-sectional design.
