A Survey Of Curriculum Content Of Family Violence In Selected Philippine Medical And Nursing Schools And Colleges

---

This study, written by Pilar Ramos-Jimenez and published by the Task Force on Social Science and Reproductive Health, Social Development Research Center, De La Salle University in November 1996, maps the extent to which family violence issues are integrated into the curricula of selected medical and nursing schools in the Philippines. Through surveys of syllabi, teaching materials, and instructional methods, the research identifies the coverage of topics such as violence against women and children, domestic violence, sexual violence, recognition of clinical signs, and the role of health workers in early detection, medico-legal documentation, and victim referral. The study’s findings show that discussions of family violence remain limited, fragmented, and not yet part of the core mandatory curriculum, leaving health professional graduates often unprepared to respond to cases in service settings. Aimed at health education policymakers, deans of medical and nursing faculties, lecturers, and curriculum developers, the report recommends systematic mainstreaming of family violence content, faculty training, and strengthening of practicum modules so that health workers gain the clinical, ethical, and legal competencies needed to protect victims and support prevention efforts.
