The aim of the study is to create a Polish version of the sexuality attitudes and beliefs survey (SABS), to assess its cultural adaptation and psychometric properties and to utilize it to enable a cross-sectional study of the sexual attitudes and beliefs among Poland's nursing and midwifery students. Non-random network sampling and the adapted SABS v. PL scale were employed for the latter purpose. A total of 570 nursing and midwifery students from two Polish universities completed the questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was utilized to measure the internal consistency of the SABS scale, while exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was employed to determine its construct validity. The factors that most affect respondents' sexual attitudes and beliefs were identified through a stepwise multiple regression method and through an econometric model. An exploratory factor analysis of the SABS v. PL scale revealed an adequate fit and confirmed the 4-factor model. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for SABS v. PL amounted to: α = 0.66. The study's student population had a mean SABS score of 41.65 ± 5.63, while the mean SABS item score varied between 2.55 ± 1.27 and 4.35 ± 1.07. The study's results show that the SABS v. PL questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument. The work revealed that Polish nursing and midwifery students have attitudes and beliefs which negatively impact their ability to evaluate a person's sexual health concerns and provide relevant health counselling.
本研究旨在创建波兰版性态度和信念调查（SABS），评估其文化适应性和心理测量学特性，并利用它对波兰护理和助产学学生的性态度和信念进行横断面研究。为此目的采用了非随机网络抽样和改编的 SABS v. PL 量表。共有来自波兰两所大学的 570 名护理和助产学生完成了问卷。Cronbach's alpha 系数用于衡量 SABS 量表的内部一致性，而探索性因子分析（EFA）用于确定其结构有效性。通过逐步多元回归方法和计量经济学模型确定了影响受访者性态度和信念的主要因素。SABS v. PL 量表的探索性因子分析显示出良好的拟合度，并证实了 4 因素模型。SABS v. PL 的 Cronbach's alpha 系数为：α=0.66。研究的学生群体的 SABS 平均得分为 41.65±5.63，而 SABS 项目平均得分为 2.55±1.27 至 4.35±1.07。研究结果表明，SABS v. PL 问卷是一种有效且可靠的工具。研究结果表明，波兰护理和助产学生的态度和信念会对他们评估个人性健康问题和提供相关健康咨询的能力产生负面影响。
