ABSTRACT
Objective: The current study aimed to examine the latent structure of a web-based, Brazilian Portuguese version of the Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (YSQ-SF). Method: The sample consisted of 15,557 adult participants - 4,702 men and 10,855 women - with age ranging from 18 to 60 years. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the a priori conceptual 15-factor model presumed to underlie the YSQ-SF item set. Results: Most items displayed high levels of reliability (factor loadings greater than 0.7) and low liability to random measurement error (residual variances below 0.02), indicating that the a priori YSQ-SF factor structure is adequate. Discussion: These findings offer empirical evidence supporting YSQ-SF construct validity and, consequently, its application in adults.

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar dos modelos teóricos sobre la relación entre inseguridad laboral percibida y malestar psicológico, y sus variables predictoras (sexo, edad, situación de pareja, escolaridad y tipo de contrato), en 112 trabajadores suministrados de Concepción. El estudio es transversal de tipo explicativo. La recolección de los datos fue realizada mediante un muestreo intencionado. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el Cuestionario de Salud General de Goldberg y Williams¹, una escala de inseguridad laboral percibida cuantitativa y otra cualitativa² y una encuesta con datos sociodemográficos-laborales. El análisis de las relaciones causales se realizó con el método de Análisis de Ecuación Estructural (SEM). Los resultados indican que los modelos no son aplicables a trabajadores suministrados chilenos. Ello podría deberse a diferencias en las situaciones de trabajo y formas de flexibilidad laboral de los participantes, en las condiciones estructurantes del empleo suministrado en Chile, y a la influencia de variables individuales asociadas con la subjetividad de los trabajadores.
The objective of the study was evaluating two theorical models on relation between perceived job insecurity and psychological discomfort, and their predictive variables (sex, age, marital status, educational level and type of contract), in 112 supplied workers of Concepción. It is a cross sectional and explanatory study. The analysis of causal relationships was made using the method of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that the models are not applicable on Chilean supplied workers. This could be due to differences in work situations and forms of labor flexibility of the participants, in the structural conditions of employment provided in Chile, and the influence of individual variables associated with the subjectivity of workers.

Objective: To study the determinants that affect patient satisfaction to rural doctors. Methods:Based on survey data of Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province, structural equation modeling analysis was adopted, and the study was mainly from the following four aspects:the image of rural doctors, service quality, quality of diagnosis and treatment, and harmonious doctor-patient relationships. Results: The study found that the quality of diagnosis and treatment had the greatest direct impact on rural patient satisfaction, followed by service quality, the image of ru-ral doctors and harmonious doctor-patient relationships;rural patient satisfaction has a significant impact on rural pa-tient loyalty. Conclusion:Rural patient satisfaction and loyalty to rural doctors is mainly based on kinship and geopo-litical relations;given the state of medical technology, the medical environment, medical equipment, service aware-ness and other restrictions, rural doctors cannot fulfill the “gatekeeper” role, and consequently, the primary health-care system has been severely affected.
