Adaptación psicométrica de la Escala de Factores Protectores (spf-24) en una muestra de sujetos colombianos / Psychometric Adaptation of the Scale of Protective Factors (SPF-24) in a Sample of Colombian Subjects

RESUMEN

Resumen Objetivo: Conocer el comportamiento psicométrico en sujetos colombianos de la Escala de Factores Protectores (SPF-24, de Ponce-García, Madewell, & Kennison, 2015). Método: Muestra no aleatoria de n 190 sujetos, entre 15 y 65 años, 51% mujeres, respondieron a la SPF-24 y la Escala de Resiliencia Comunitaria (Ruiz, 2015). Resultados: Fiabilidad interna de la escala total de 0,93, y entre 0,83 y 0,86 por dimensiones. El análisis factorial exploratorio arrojó cuatro dimensiones relevantes apoyo social, habilidades sociales, planificación y eficacia de metas. Las dos primeras corresponden a la estructura factorial del estudio original. También, a mayor resiliencia individual, más resiliencia comunitaria, sobre todo de afrontamiento comunitario. Discusión y conclusiones: La escala muestra índices satisfactorios de fiabilidad interna, de validez de constructo y de validez concurrente con medidas de resiliencia comunitaria. Es necesaria más investigación sobre la validez predictiva y concurrente del SPF-24.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objetive To know psychometric behavior in a sample of Colombian individuals of the Scale of Protective Factors (SPF-24, Ponce-García, Madewell, & Kennison, 2015). Method: A non-randomized sample (n 190), aged between 15 and 65 years old. 51% of the sample were female who answered SPF24 and the Community Resilience Scale (Ruiz, 2015). Results: Internal reliability for full scale was 0,93, and from 0,83 to 0,86, according each scale. Factor analysis showed four main dimensions social support, social skills, planning and goals efficacy. The first two factors correspond to the original study dimensions. In addition, a higher individual resilience was associated with higher levels of community resilience, especially with communal coping. Discussion and Conclusions: SPF-24 shows successful coefficients of internal reliability, construct validity and concurrent validity in relation to community resilience indicators. More research is required about the predictive and concurrent validity of SPF-24.
