Resumen
BERBEGAL-BOLSAS, Marta et al. Variables associated with a higher awareness of gender-based violence by students of the health sciences and social work. Gac Sanit [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.2, pp.146-151. Epub 19-Sep-2022. ISSN 0213-9111. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2020.09.005.
Objective
To determine the attitudes towards equality and prevention of gender-based violence, and analyze variables associated with a higher awareness of gender-based violence by students of the health sciences and social work degrees.
Method
A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out. The sample consisted of 437 students of the health sciences and social work degrees at the University of Zaragoza (Spain) during 2018 and 2019. The variables of the study were: Socio-demographic variables, academic variables, feminism attitudes towards women's movement using Feminism and the women's movement scale (FWMS), attitudes on gender-based violence using the Gender Equality and Prevention of Gender-based Violence Scale (GEPGVS). A correlational study and multiple linear regression were performed, in order to analyze the associated variables.
Results
Differences in attitudes towards gender-based violence were observed according to sex, age and attitudes in line with the feminist movement. Regarding the linear regression model, the results showed that the FWMS is a predictor of GEPGVS, as well as sex.
Conclusions
Holding attitudes in line with the feminist movement is a factor that may be promoted in order to increase the awareness of gender-based violence.
