abstract = {Background/objective: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health problem for which many victims attend
to healthcare centers to alleviate the results of violence. The present study aimed to explore the relation between
IPV attitudes and willingness to intervene in cases of IPV by future health professionals, considering the influence
of perceived severity of IPV in this relation. Method: The sample was composed of 432 students (M = 22.89,
SD = 6.36) of psychology (52.60%), nursing (26.20%), and medicine (21.20%). Sexism, IPV acceptance, perceived
severity, and willingness to intervene in IPV cases were assessed. Results: The results displayed low sexism
(M = 0.61, SD = 0.59) and acceptance of IPV (M = 1.05, SD = 0.06), high perceived severity (M = 9.62, SD = 0.60),
and moderate willingness to intervene in cases of IPV (M = 5.20, SD = 1.16). Moreover, a conceptual model
showed that more sexist attitudes were related to more acceptance of IPV, decreased perceived severity of IPV, and
consequently, the willingness to intervene in cases of IPV. Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance
of addressing the attitudinal and perceptive barriers of future healthcare professionals to detect and attend early to
IPV from healthcare centers.},
abstract = {Antecedentes/objetivos: La violencia de género (VG) es un problema de salud pública por el que muchas víctimas
acuden a los centros de salud para aliviar las consecuencias de la violencia. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo
explorar la relación entre las actitudes hacia la VG y la voluntad de intervención en casos de VG por parte de futuros
profesionales sanitarios, considerando la influencia de la gravedad percibida de la VG en esta relación. Método: La
muestra estuvo compuesta por 432 estudiantes (M = 22,89, DT = 6,36) de psicología (52,60%), enfermería (26,20%)
y medicina (21,20%). Se evaluaron el sexismo, la aceptación de la VG, la gravedad percibida y la voluntad de
intervención en casos de VG. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron bajo sexismo (M = 0,61, DT = 0,59) y aceptación
de la VG (M = 1,05, DT = 0,06), así como alta percepción de gravedad (M = 9,62, DT = 0,60) y moderada voluntad
de intervención en casos de VG (M = 5,20, DT = 1,16). Además, el modelo conceptual testado mostró que a más
actitudes sexistas, mayor aceptación de la VG, menor percepción de la gravedad de la VG y, en consecuencia, menor
voluntad de intervención en casos de VG. Conclusiones: Estos hallazgos destacan la importancia de abordar las
barreras actitudinales y perceptivas de los futuros profesionales sanitarios para detectar y atender la VG precozmente
desde los centros sanitarios.},
