Resumen
La versión en español de la Escala Corta de Procesamiento de Afrontamiento y Adaptación (CAPS-SF) es válida y confiable para cuidadores de pacientes post-COVID-19. Este instrumento validado ayuda a evaluar los mecanismos de afrontamiento familiar durante el estrés relacionado con la enfermedad.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Psicometría
- Psicología de la Salud
- Investigación sobre Cuidado Familiar
Sus antecedentes:
- La enfermedad causa un estrés significativo para los pacientes y las familias, influyendo en las estrategias de afrontamiento.
- La Escala Corta de Procesamiento de Afrontamiento y Adaptación (CAPS-SF) mide estos mecanismos de afrontamiento.
- Existen versiones validadas de la CAPS-SF en inglés, coreano y chino.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Evaluar la validez y confiabilidad de la versión en español de la CAPS-SF.
- Evaluar su utilidad en cuidadores de pacientes post-COVID-19.
Principales métodos:
- Se realizó un estudio psicométrico, descriptivo y transversal de tres fases.
- Jueces expertos y cuidadores de pacientes post-COVID-19 participaron en diferentes fases.
- Se realizaron análisis factoriales confirmatorios, evaluaciones de validez de contenido y pruebas de consistencia interna (alfa de Cronbach, omega de McDonald).
Principales resultados:
- El análisis inicial llevó a la eliminación de cinco ítems; las revisiones posteriores y la reevaluación en la Fase III confirmaron el ajuste del modelo.
- La CAPS-SF en español demostró propiedades psicométricas aceptables.
- La consistencia interna fue satisfactoria, con un alfa de Cronbach de 0.82 y un omega de McDonald de 0.89.
Conclusiones:
- La versión en español de la CAPS-SF es un instrumento válido y confiable.
- Es adecuada para su uso con cuidadores hospitalarios de pacientes post-COVID-19.
