Abstract:
Introduction: This study presents the effects of PREVIOGEN, an educational intervention designed and developed in collaboration with seven Mexican educational institutions and one health institution, whose purpose is to help prevent gender violence among nursing students.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of PREVIOGEN in preventing gender violence among nursing students.
Methodology: Quantitative study with a quasi-experimental test-retest design with a single group. Sample of 42 nursing students selected by non-probabilistic convenience sampling. An educational intervention was implemented through the Moodle platform. The topics are based on a combination of pedagogical approaches that include social, cultural and learning theories. These address gender perspectives in relation to equality, social justice, respect for diversity and the promotion of human rights, for 20 hours. Pre- and post-intervention questionnaires were applied to assess perceptions, attitudes and knowledge about gender violence. Data were analyzed with SPSS-26, using descriptive statistics and nonparametric tests. Cohen's d was used to analyze the effect size.
Results: The findings show notable improvements in perceptions, attitudes, and knowledge after the educational intervention, indicating a large-scale positive effect in the fight against gender violence.
Conclusions: The PREVIOGEN educational intervention was highly effective in improving perceptions, attitudes, and knowledge about the prevention of gender violence among nursing university students.
