“…Gender-based discrimination experienced by all women working in the health sector, including nurses, is a multidimensional issue that needs to be addressed. When the available measurement tools related to this issue are examined in the literature, it is seen that these tools only evaluate the attitude towards female's employment (Kuruvilla & Seema, 2014;Kuzgun & Sevim, 2004), female managers (Aycan et al, 2012;Ergeneli̇ and Akçamete, 2004), working female (Akhtar et al, 1969), working mothers (Aydın et al, 2017). These tools do not directly address gender-based discrimination in working life.…”

The aim of this study was to develop a new instrument to evaluate healthcare professionals' attitudes towards female workers in the healthcare settings-the Attitude Scale Towards Female Workers (ASTFW)-and test its psychometric properties.Design: This is a scale development study. Method:A three-phase structure was used: (1) creating the item pool, (2) preliminarily evaluating items and (3) refining the scale and evaluating psychometric properties. The scale's content validity, construct validity, internal consistency and temporal stability were evaluated according to the scale development guidelines. The scale's psychometric properties were tested with 1,635 healthcare professionals working in six different hospitals. The data were collected between November 2018 and July 2019. Results:The scale items were obtained from face-to-face, semi-structured, in-depth individual interviews with the healthcare professionals. The scale's content validity index was 0.96. According to exploratory factor analysis, the scale consisted of 30 items and five subdimensions; the subdimensions were found to explain 54.48% of the total variance. Fit indices obtained with confirmatory factor analysis were at acceptable and good levels. The scale was found to have high internal consistency and temporal stability. Conclusion:The ASTFW is a psychometrically valid and reliable measurement instrument. The 30-item scale consists of five subdimensions: performance, gender roles, recruitment and retention, career, and emotionality. ImpactThis scale, which has good psychometric properties, can be used to perform a multidimensional evaluation of the attitudes of healthcare professionals in healthcare workplaces towards female workers. This scale can be useful in shedding light on negative attitudes towards female healthcare professionals in the health sector.

Although there are many regulations to ensure equality and eliminate discrimination in working life, it cannot be prevented entirely in any country. The 'Global Gender Gap Report 2020' published by the World Economic Forum (2019) states that women are exposed to gender discrimination in different areas. This report emphasizes that it takes more than a century to achieve gender equality on a global level, although this may differ regionally. It also highlights that gender discrimination towards female workers is usually not reported and remains hidden and that it is critical to understand such discrimination and show its harmful effects (Basford et al., 2014). Discriminatory attitudes and approaches to gender are commonly seen in the health sector and healthcare workplaces, where women dominate, as in many sectors
