Validity and reliability of the gender equity scale in nursing education

Abstract

Equity is an emerging issue across all sectors of society, and one of the frequently raised concerns in nursing education is gender inequity. An accurate assessment appears to be a key component in creating an environment of gender equity in nursing education. This study aimed to develop a scale of gender equity in nursing education and establish its validity and reliability. In total, 341 senior nursing students participated in the psychometric evaluation of the Gender Equity Scale in Nursing Education. This psychometric evaluation revealed that the 4‐subdomain (personal experience of gender inequity, perceptions of gender roles, gender discrimination, and gender biases in class), 23‐item measure possesses both good reliability and validity, as well as a good level of internal consistency. The Gender Equity Scale in Nursing Education was developed as a self‐report questionnaire for both female and male students and considers gender role stereotypes, gender‐biased educational climates, gender discrimination, and gender inequity in nursing education.

Evaluation Model of Modern Network Teaching Quality Based on Artificial Intelligence E-Learning

“…In the learning environment, different from the traditional learning management platform, which mainly focuses on management and recording, intelligent E-learning software can provide personalized feedback for learners (Cho et al, 2022). Through online tests, the learners can better understand their weaknesses, further obtain relevant learning resources, and propose future learning paths.…”

Male Student Challenges in a Maternity Nursing Clinical Course in a Middle Eastern Country: Strategies for Improved Performance and Future Implications for Nursing Education and Practice

“…Similar efforts are being taken by nurse educators worldwide to reduce gender differences at educational level. For instance, recently Korean scholars Cho et al (2022) developed the Gender Equity Scale in Nursing Education to accurately assess the gender equity situation in nursing as a strategy to create gender equity in nursing education. While the literature cites gender inequality as a common occurrence in nursing education, understanding the experiences and perceptions of male nurses themselves who have historically experienced inequity remains incomplete as detailed first-hand verbatim accounts are scanty in the published literature, resulting in incomplete picture of the extent of the problem.…”

“…This step is aimed at checking the validity and reliability of the questionnaire and testing the explanation of research questions in education (Toraman et al, 2022). Generally, survey designs are used to describe trending problems in education (Abraham & Barker, 2015), to determine students' individual opinions on pedagogical issues (Cho et al, 2022), to understand relationships between variables or factors, and to provide useful information for evaluating educational programs (Yang & Saad, 2021;Harerimana & Mtshali, 2020). This survey design can be tested in test and non-test instruments (Suwanroj et al, 2019).…”
