The consequences of homophobia can affect the integrity, mental and physical health of homosexual individuals in society. There are few studies in Peru that have evaluated homophobia in the medical student population.
To establish the social, educational and cultural factors associated with homophobia among Peruvian medical students.
A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in 12 medicine schools in Peru. Homophobia was defined according to a validated test, which was associated with other variables. Statistical associations were identified.
The lowest percentages of homophobic students (15-20%) were found in the four universities in Lima, while universities in the interior of the country had the highest percentages (22-62%). Performing a multivariate analysis, we found that the frequency of homophobia was lower for the following variables: the female gender (PRa=0.74; 95% CI, 0.61-0.92; p=0.005), studying at a university in Lima (PRa=0.57; 95% CI, 0.43-0.75; p<0.001), professing the Catholic religion (PRa=0.53; 95% CI, 0.37-0.76; p<0.001), knowing a homosexual (PRa=0.73; 95% CI, 0.60-0.90; p=0.003) and having treated a homosexual patient (PRa=0.76; 95% CI, 0.59-0.98; p=0.036). In contrast, the frequency of homophobia increased in male chauvinists (PRa=1.37; 95% CI, 1.09-1.72; p=0.007), adjusted by four variables.
Homophobia was less common in women, in those who study in the capital, those who profess Catholicism and those who know/have treated a homosexual. In contrast, male chauvinists were more homophobic.
恐同症的后果会影响社会中同性恋者的人格完整性以及身心健康。在秘鲁，很少有研究评估医学生群体中的恐同症情况。
确定与秘鲁医学生恐同症相关的社会、教育和文化因素。
在秘鲁的12所医学院开展了一项横断面分析研究。根据一项经过验证的测试来定义恐同症，并将其与其他变量相关联。确定了统计学关联。
在利马的四所大学中，恐同学生的比例最低（15%-20%），而该国国内的大学比例最高（22%-62%）。进行多变量分析时，我们发现以下变量的恐同症发生率较低：女性（PRa=0.74；95%置信区间，0.61-0.92；p=0.005）、在利马的大学就读（PRa=0.57；95%置信区间，0.43-0.75；p<0.001）、信奉天主教（PRa=0.53；9 =5%置信区间，0.37-0.76；p<0.001）、认识同性恋者（PRa=0.73；95%置信区间，0.60-0.90；p=0.003）以及治疗过同性恋患者（PRa=0.76；95%置信区间，0.59-0.98；p=0.036）。相比之下，在经过四个变量调整后，大男子主义者的恐同症发生率增加（PRa=1.37；95%置信区间，1.09-1.72；p=0.007）。
恐同症在女性、在首都就读的人、信奉天主教的人以及认识/治疗过同性恋患者的人中不太常见。相比之下，大男子主义者的恐同倾向更强。
