BACKGROUND Violence against women has been classified as a worldwide public health problem. There are no assessment instruments of attitudes toward violence in couples adapted to the culture and the Spanish spoken in Colombia. The aim of the study is to adapt the Intimate Partner Violence Attitude Scales (IPVAS) and obtain validity evidence. METHOD Two studies were carried out. Study 1 integrates expert appraisal evidence of content validity with psychometrics of the internal structure and evidence of the relationships between IPVAS measures and theoretically related variables by analyzing responses from a sample of the general population. Using a cross-validation approach, a confirmatory factor analysis was performed in study 2 to test the factor structure proposed in study 1. In addition, evidence of relationships with other variables was provided by analyzing data from another general population sample. RESULTS The results from study 2 support a two-dimensional structure with Abuse and Violence subscales for the Colombian IPVAS. CONCLUSIONS A partial construct overlap was found between the original IPVAS and the Colombian IPVAS adapted to the culture and the Spanish spoken in Colombia.

亲密伴侣暴力态度量表对哥伦比亚文化和哥伦比亚西班牙语的适应性。

背景对妇女的暴力已被归类为世界范围的公共卫生问题。没有适合哥伦比亚文化和西班牙语的夫妇对暴力的态度的评估工具。该研究的目的是调整亲密伴侣暴力态度量表 (IPVAS) 并获得有效性证据。方法 进行了两项研究。研究 1 通过分析一般人群样本的反应，将内容有效性的专家评估证据与内部结构的心理测量学以及 IPVAS 措施与理论相关变量之间关系的证据相结合。使用交叉验证方法，在研究 2 中进行了验证性因子分析，以测试研究 1 中提出的因子结构。此外，与其他变量关系的证据是通过分析另一个一般人口样本的数据提供的。结果 研究 2 的结果支持哥伦比亚 IPVAS 具有滥用和暴力分量表的二维结构。结论 在原始 IPVAS 和适应哥伦比亚文化和西班牙语的哥伦比亚 IPVAS 之间发现了部分结构重叠。
