Abstract

Objective: to verify the internal and structural consistency of the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory in young undergraduate nursing students.

Method: this is a cross-sectional methodological study carried out with young university students enrolled in the undergraduate Nursing course at a public university. Data was obtained by means of a sociodemographic/academic questionnaire and the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory. The analysis used Pearson's correlation, Cronbach's alpha, intraclass correlation, t-test and chi-square ratio and degrees of freedom, as well as confirmatory factor analysis to test the consistency of the existence of the bifactor model.

Results: the sample consisted of 305 undergraduates. The oblique bifactor model showed statistical indicators that justify the consistency of the bifactor structure of sexism in the study's target population. In addition, the psychometric indicators of the inventory showed satisfactory results. The predictive regression analysis confirmed the structure, demonstrating its consistency and robustness for assessing both hostile sexism and benevolent sexism among young university nursing students.

Conclusion: support for the theory of ambivalent sexism was identified, reflecting the consistency of the oblique bifactor model. The analysis of the psychometric properties of the inventory, including validity and reliability, reinforces its applicability and relevance in research on gender issues in the health area.

Background: (1) Phlebitis was the most prevalent complication. (2) Pressure in the bag was associated with catheter removal before indication. (3) Length of stay and use of sedation were related to the onset of phlebitis.

方法：这是一项横断面方法研究，研究对象是一所公立大学护理学本科专业的年轻大学生。数据通过社会人口学/学术问卷和矛盾性别歧视量表获得。分析采用了皮尔逊相关、克朗巴赫α、等级内相关、t检验、卡方比率和自由度，以及确证因子分析来检验双因素模型存在的一致性。斜双因素模型显示的统计指标证明了性别歧视双因素结构在研究对象中的一致性。此外，问卷的心理测量指标也显示出令人满意的结果。预测回归分析证实了这一结构，表明其在评估年轻大学生中的敌意性别歧视和善意性别歧视方面具有一致性和稳健性。结论：确定了对矛盾性别歧视理论的支持，反映了斜双因素模型的一致性。背景：（1）静脉炎是最常见的并发症。(背景：（1）静脉炎是最常见的并发症。(3）住院时间和使用镇静剂与静脉炎的发生有关。
