Abstract

The objective of this study was to construct a scale to measure the perception of sexually transmitted infections and diseases in young adults at a private university. The methodology used was quantitative and simple random sampling was applied to obtain a sample of 101 participants. A Likert scale of 54 items was implemented, distributed in 4 dimensions: venereal diseases, causes of infection, methods of care and consequences of sexually transmitted diseases. The psychometric results showed a high level of reliability of the scale, with a Cronbahc alpha coefficient (a) equal to or higher than 0.934. In addition, statistically significant associations were found, indicating a good internal consistency of the scale.
