TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Perception of health sciences and feminist medical students about obstetric violence JO - Enfermería clínica (English Edition) A1 - Brigidi, Serena A1 - Mena-Tudela, Desirée A1 - Biurrun-Garrido, Ainoa SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - OBJECTIVE: To measure the perception of obstetric violence among health sciences students.

METHOD: Cross-sectional design in which the validated questionnaire PercOV-S (Perception of Student Obstetric Violence) was used. The questionnaire was offered to the students who participated in the I Congress of Feminist Medicine of the CEEM (State Councils of Medical Students) held on March 12, 2021. This questionnaire was sent online through Google Forms.

RESULTS: The mean score obtained on the total scale was 3.83 scores (SD = 0.61). For the dimension of protocolized-visible obstetric violence, the mean score is 2.79 points (SD = 0.84) and for the dimension of non-protocolized-invisible obstetric violence, a mean of 4.16 points is obtained (SD = 0.61). The global score of the displayed question differs statistically significantly with the variable scope (p = 0.019), course (p = 0.008), treatment according to ethnicity (p = 0.008), treatment according to socioeconomic level, immigrant status (p < 0.001), and prior knowledge about the concept of obstetric violence (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS: The data show a marked generalised sensitivity of the sample to the issue of obstetric violence, especially with regard to the ethnic characteristics of the women. Likewise, the need to generate ethical-attitudinal training in the response to obstetric violence is observed.
