Abstract

Objetivo: Determinar la validez y confiabilidad de la escala para homofobia (EHF) enestudiantes de medicina de una universidad de Bogotá, Colombia, 2010. Método: Serealizó un estudio de validación con la participación de 124 estudiantes de sexto a décimosemestre, en edades entre 19 y 34 años de edad, media de 23,7 años (DE=2,7);y 66,1%, mujeres y 33,9% hombres. Resultados: Se estimó alfa de Cronbach y omegade McDonald como medidas de confiabilidad y análisis factorial exploratorio paraconocer la estructura interna de la escala. El alfa de Cronbach fue 0,81 y la omega deMcDonald, 0,82. La estructura interna dio cuenta de un único factor responsable del49,2% de la varianza. Conclusión: La EHF muestra buena consistencia interna y unfactor en estudiantes de medicina de sexto a décimo semestre de una universidad deBogotá, Colombia. La escala mide con aceptable validez y confiabilidad el prejuiciohacia personas homosexuales en estudiantes de medicina. Este desempeño permiteel uso en nuevas investigaciones.Objective: To determine the validity and reliability of the Homophobia Scale (HS) inmedical students of a university in Bogotá, Colombia, 2010. Method: A validation studywas conducted with the participation of 124 students from sixth to tenth semester,aged between 19 and 34 years old, average 23.7 years (SD=2.7); and 66.1% womenand 33.9% men. Results: It was estimated Cronbach alpha and McDonald omegaas measures of reliability; and exploratory factor analysis to determine the internalstructure of the scale. Cronbach alpha was 0.81; and McDonald omega, 0.82. Theinternal structure showed a single factor responsible for 49.2% of the total variance.Conclusion: HS shows good internal consistency and a single factor in medical studentsfrom sixth to tenth semester at a university in Bogotá, Colombia. HS measureswith acceptable validity and reliability the prejudice toward homosexuals in medicalstudents. This performance allows use in further research.
