Abstract

Objective: To identify beliefs and attitudes towards gender violence (GBV) in nursing students at the School of Health Sciences of the University of Seville.
Methodology: A descriptive, cross-sectional study involving 265 nursing students from the University of Seville. The instrument used was an anonymous, self-administered survey to assess self-perception, socialization, academic training in gender and training to address GBV, to which Díaz-Aguado's Scale of Beliefs and Attitudes towards Gender and Violence (CAGV) was incorporated.
Results: Boys have more sexist beliefs and girls value women's access to positions of power and responsibility more highly. First-year students are more likely to consider GBV to be a consequence of biological fatality, while students in higher grades consider GBV to be a private matter.

Conclusion: Men are more influenced by sexist beliefs and adopt a more fatalistic stance when justifying violence
