Introduction: Despite available scales, and although attitudes toward feminism and feminist movements represent a relevant construct they are not thoroughly studied in Colombia.
Objective: To evaluate the internal consistency and factorial structure of the Feminism and Women’s Movement Scale (FWM) among healthcare workers in Colombia.
Method: Psychometric study which included a non-probabilistic sample of 700 healthcare professionals (63.76% women and 36.24% men) aged between 24 and 76 years. Participants completed the FWM. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega were calculated to verify internal consistency, suitability of data and the instrument's factorial structure were examined.
Results: The FWM showed borderline internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.70 and McDonald's omega 0.71) and low adjustment indices. In response, a 5-item version (FWM-5) was tested, showing high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha and McDonald’s omega of 0.84) and optimal adjustment indices.
Conclusion: The FWM-5 demonstrated adequate psychometric indicators for assessing healthcare workers' sensitivity to feminist ideas. It is advisable to measure this construct in the general Colombian population and explore additional psychometric indicators. |

Introducción: Las actitudes hacia los feminismos y los movimientos feministas representan un constructo relevante pero poco estudiados en Colombia a pesar de las escalas existentes. Objetivo: Evaluar la consistencia interna y estructura factorial de la Feminism and the Women’s Movement Scale (FWM) en trabajadores(as) sanitarios de Colombia. Método: El estudio psicométrico incluyó mediante un muestreo no probabilístico una muestra de 700 profesionales sociosanitarios (63,76% de mujeres y un 36,24% de hombres), con edades entre 24 y 76 años. Los participantes completaron la FWM. Se calcularon el alfa de Cronbach y el omega de McDonald para comprobar la consistencia interna y se exploró la idoneidad de los datos y la estructura factorial del instrumento. Resultados: La FWM presentó una consistencia interna limítrofe (alfa de Cronbach de 0,70 y omega de McDonald de 0,71) y unos índices de ajuste bajos. En respuesta a esto se probó una versión de 5 ítems (FWM-5). La FWM-5 mostró una alta consistencia interna (alfa de Cronbach y omega de McDonald de 0,84) y unos indicadores de bondad de ajuste óptimos. Conclusión: La FWM-5 demuestra indicadores psicométricos adecuados para evaluar la sensibilización del personal sociosanitario hacia las ideas feministas. Se recomienda medir el constructo en la población colombiana general y explorar otros indicadores psicométricos. Introdução: As atitudes em relação aos feminismos e aos movimentos feministas representam um construto relevante, mas pouco estudado na Colômbia, apesar das escalas existentes. Objetivo: Avaliar a consistência interna e a estrutura fatorial da Feminism and the Women’s Movement Scale (FWM) em trabalhadores de saúde na Colômbia. Método: O estudo psicométrico incluiu, através de amostragem não probabilística, uma amostra de 700 profissionais sociossanitários (63,76% mulheres e 36,24% homens), com idades compreendidas entre os 24 e os 76 anos. Os participantes completaram o FWM. Foram calculados o alfa de Cronbach e o ômega de McDonald para verificar a consistência interna e explorada a adequação dos dados e a estrutura fatorial do instrumento. Resultados: O FWM apresentou consistência interna limítrofe (alfa de Cronbach de 0,70 e ômega de McDonald de 0,71) e baixos índices de ajuste. Em resposta a isto, foi testada uma versão de 5 itens (FWM-5). O FWM-5 apresentou alta consistência interna (alfa de Cronbach e ômega de McDonald de 0,84) e ótimos indicadores de ajuste. Conclusão: O FWM-5 demonstra indicadores psicométricos adequados para avaliar a consciência do pessoal social e de saúde em relação às ideias feministas. Recomenda-se medir o construto na população colombiana em geral e explorar outros indicadores psicométricos. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac. Cs.
