Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between acceptance of violence between couples and level of aggression among 1st and 4th year midwifery students enrolled in various universities in Turkey.Methods: The study is cross-sectional descriptive in nature. The data were collected through “Personal Information Form”, "Acceptance of Couple Violence Scale" and “Aggression Scale".Results: Of all the participants, 1843 were 1st year students and 1337 were 4th year students. There was a weak positive relationship between Aggression Scale and Acceptance of Couple Violence Scale. Acceptance of violence between couples was found to increase with the increase in aggression level.Conclusion: Identification of adolescents’ views about aggression between girls or boys is of great importance in terms of providing opportunity for early intervention and maintaining healthy relationships. It could be suggested that midwifery departments which give health education should involve these issues in their curriculum.
