Validación de instrumento para evaluar multitarea y actitudes tecnológicas en universitarios de ciencias de la salud. Rev Eug Esp [online]. 2024, vol.18, n.1, pp.82-97.

The technological habits, attitudes, and aptitudes of university students in a cybernetic society are increasingly consumed by technology. The relationship between everyday life and the academic environment generates several factors, such as multitasking management. This study aimed to validate an instrument for measuring multitasking and attitudes towards technology in health students through factor analysis. To achieve this, 442 observations were collected; an approach with factorial statistical methods was used in the data analysis for this exploratory case. Previously, teachers in the area evaluated the instrument with a reliability coefficient of 0,90. Finally, the multitasking and attitudes towards technologies scale instrument was structured, consisting of 17 items grouped into six factors: Positive Attitude, Negative attitude, Anxiety/Dependency, Perceptions, Multitasking/Social Networks, and Multitasking/Working. The results showed a model that explained 63% of the variance, with a root mean square of the residuals of 0,07. The factor structure identified and validated by the statistical method of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis has provided a solid basis for evaluating these dimensions in the context of Ecuadorian health sciences university students in future research.
