BACKGROUND Infection by HIV and other STIs and unplanned pregnancies are among the most serious problems associated with sexuality. Male and female condoms are the only dual-purpose devices to control both unplanned pregnancies and STIs, and studying people's attitudes toward the use of these devices are excellent ways to predict their use. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to adapt and validate the Female Condom Attitude Scale for Spanish language and to evaluate the use of female condoms in Colombian population. METHODS For that purpose, a total of 387 Colombian women aged 23.68 years in average were asked to respond to the Female Condom Attitude Scale, the Sexual Opinion Survey, and the UCLA Multidimensional Condom Attitudes Scale. RESULTS The use of female condom in Colombia is very low; only 5.10% of the surveyed women had used it at least once. On the other hand, results revealed a five-factor dimensionality (Sexual pleasure enhancement, Inconvenience, Improved prophylaxis, Sexual pleasure inhibition, and Insertion reluctance) with alphas between .81 and .96. The scale also showed adequate psychometric properties and criterion validity. No relationship was found between attitudes toward female condom and attitudes toward male condom. CONCLUSIONS The Spanish adaptation of the Female Condom Attitude Scale was found to be reliable and valid in a sample of young women.

西班牙对哥伦比亚年轻女性女用安全套态度量表和女用安全套使用情况的验证。

背景技术 HIV 和其他性传播感染的感染以及意外怀孕是与性相关的最严重的问题。男用和女用避孕套是唯一可以控制意外怀孕和性传播感染的双重用途装置，研究人们对使用这些装置的态度是预测其使用的绝佳方法。因此，本研究的目的是调整和验证西班牙语的女用安全套态度量表，并评估哥伦比亚人口中女用安全套的使用情况。方法 为此，共有 387 名平均年龄为 23.68 岁的哥伦比亚女性被要求填写女用安全套态度量表、性意见调查和加州大学洛杉矶分校多维安全套态度量表。结果 哥伦比亚女用安全套的使用率非常低；只有5.10%的受访女性至少使用过一次。另一方面，结果揭示了五因素维度（性快感增强、不便、预防改善、性快感抑制和插入不情愿），α 值在 0.81 到 0.96 之间。该量表还显示出足够的心理测量特性和标准有效性。对女用安全套的态度和对男用安全套的态度之间没有发现任何关系。结论 西班牙改编的女用避孕套态度量表在年轻女性样本中被证明是可靠和有效的。
