Background & Objectives: Violence during training in educational centers is considered as an important problem. The nursing students may be the victims of violence during the clinical training. Regarding this, the present study aimed to determine the level of violence during the internship in the nursing students. Materials & Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on the nursing students of Hazrat Zeynab Faculty, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Mazandaran, Iran, in 2015. The data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.88%. The research population corresponded to a group of 139 nursing students who were interns at the time of the study. The data analysis was performed using the descriptive and inferential statistics through the SPSS version 16 software. Results: As the results of the present study indicated, the rate of violence exposure during the internship was 64.9% among the participants. Out of this value, 16.5%, 4.3%, and 1% of the cases were verbal, non-verbal, and physical violence, respectively. This violence was exerted by the patients (23%), patient’s family members (20.9%), nurses (7.9%), physicians (2.2%), hospital staff (0.7%), teachers (4.3%), and other hospital personnel (6.7%). Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicated a high prevalence of violence against the nursing students during training. General education and training of the nursing personnel in the field of violence is recommended to reduce the violence against the nursing students.
