About this study
Official title: The Effect of Moulage-Based Silent Performance on Awareness of Violence Against Women: A Randomized Controlled Study Among Nursing Students
This randomized controlled study aimed to evaluate the effect of a moulage-based silent performance on awareness of violence against women, empathy levels, and emotional reactivity among first-year nursing students. Participants were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group was exposed to a moulage makeup-based silent performance representing a victim of violence, while the control group was exposed to a neutral condition. Outcomes were measured using validated scales before and after the intervention.
Read the detailed description
This study was conducted using a pretest-posttest randomized controlled experimental design among first-year nursing students. Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group was exposed to a moulage-based silent performance involving a female model representing a victim of violence. Participants remained in the room for five minutes and read a narrative letter describing a woman's experience of violence.
The control group was exposed to the same environment but with a neutral, non-moulage model and read the same letter. Outcomes included attitudes toward violence against women, empathy levels, and emotional reactivity, measured using validated instruments.
The study was conducted in two separate classrooms simultaneously to prevent contamination between groups.

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Moulage-Based Silent PerformanceBehavioural
Participants were exposed to a moulage-based silent performance involving a female model representing a victim of violence. The model remained silent and non-interactive. Participants stayed in the room for five minutes and read a narrative letter describing a woman's experience of violence.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Moulage-Based Silent Performance | Experimental | Participants in this group were exposed to a moulage-based silent performance involving a female model representing a victim of violence. The model remained silent and non-interactive throughout the session. Participants stayed in the room for five minutes and read a narrative letter describing a woman's experience of violence. After the session, participants completed questionnaires assessing attitudes toward violence against women, empathy levels, and emotional reactivity. Receives: Behavioral: Moulage-Based Silent Performance |
| Neutral Exposure Control | No intervention | Participants in this group were exposed to a neutral condition involving a female model without moulage makeup. The model remained silent and non-interactive. Participants read the same narrative letter describing a woman's experience of violence and then completed the same outcome measures as the intervention group. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in attitudes toward violence against women
Attitudes toward violence against women were assessed using the Violence Against Women Attitude Scale (ISKEBE). The scale consists of 30 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores indicate stronger rejection of violence and more positive attitudes toward women. Changes in scores from pre-intervention to post-intervention were compared between the intervention and control groups.
Measured: Pre-intervention and immediately post-intervention (within the same session)
Secondary outcomes (1)
Change in empathy levels
Empathy levels were assessed using the Empathic Tendency Scale developed by Dökmen (1988). The scale consists of 20 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating greater empathic tendency. Changes in empathy scores from pre-intervention to post-intervention were compared between the intervention and control groups.
Measured: Pre-intervention and immediately post-intervention (within the same session)

Participants remained in the room for five minutes and read a narrative letter describing a woman's experience of violence.
