Background: Obstetric violence could be defined as the dehumanized treatment or abuse of
health professionals towards the body or reproductive process of women. Some practices associated
with obstetric violence have been routinely standardized and do not include the woman in decision
making. This type of violence has consequences for the health of both the mother and the baby
and that of the professionals who practice or observed it. Methods: A questionnaire consisting of
33 items that measured perception through a Likert scale was developed. Some sociodemographic
variables were collected. The instrument was applied to a sample of nursing, medicine and
midwifery students to determine its psychometric properties. Results: The final sample consisted
of 153 students. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (p = 0.918) and Barlett tests (p ≤ 0.001) allowed for factor
analysis, which explained 54.47% of the variance in two factors called protocolized-visible obstetric
violence and non-protocolized-invisible obstetric violence. Conclusions: The PercOV-S (Perception of
Obstetric Violence in Students) instrument was validated. The distribution and content of the two
factors are closely related to obstetric violence against women. The existence of statistically significant
relationships between the sociodemographic variables collected and the global measurements,
domains and items of the PercOV-S scale highlight the normalization of obstetric violence as a central
factor for future studies. [-]
