Abstract

The gender perspective in the university reflects the lack of labor insertion in high hierarchy positions, as well as in the opportunity for development and professional projection for women. Their incorporation and insertion in the academic field are important to achieve representativeness and participation. The objective was to determine the participation of women in academic roles in the Faculty of Nursing and Obstetrics of the National University of Asuncion, San Lorenzo-Paraguay in 2021. Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study with non-probabilistic sampling by convenience in teachers of both sexes. For data collection and subsequent analysis, the 2021 teaching staff database was used, analyzed and interpreted by descriptive and inferential statistics. The qualitative variables were described by means of tables, and possible associations were explored and analyzed using the chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05. Of 468 teachers studied, 78.19% was female, ages between 37 and 46 years, seniority from 1 to 7 years, department of nursing, central house; the majority had academic training in nursing, in postgraduate specialization, 74.31% corresponded to the female sex; the teaching function corresponded to head of department and teaching coordinator without difference of sex; for the participation of women 100% occupied different roles and less than 20% was in academic/administrative position. No statistically significant associations were found between sex, academic role and academic/administrative position. It was determined that most women participate in academic roles.
