Ítem único para valorar la preocupación por el cáncer: evidencias iniciales de validez y confiabilidad / Single item to assess for worry for cancer: Initial evidence of validity and reliability

Objetivos: Traducir al español y evaluar las evidencias de validez de contenido, validez de constructo y confiabilidad del Cancer Worry Chart como medida de ítem único de la preocupación por el cáncer. Método: La traducción al español del Cancer Worry Chart se realizó con el procedimiento de traducción inversa. Los participantes fueron 165 personas sanas con historia familiar de cáncer quienes respondieron el Cancer Worry Chart y la Cancer Worry Scale (CWS). Resultados: La traducción inversa permite tener una versión en español del Cancer Worry Chart cuyo contenido es claro, coherente y relevante (V˃0,70). Se reporta evidencia de validez de constructo en base a 3 criterios: a) un ajuste adecuado del modelo unidimensional conformado por el Cancer Worry Chart y los ítems de la CWS realizado con el método de ecuaciones estructurales (χ2S-B=23,38; df=14; χ2S-B/df=1,67; CFI=0,99; RMSEA=0,064); b) una correlación significativa entre el Cancer Worry Chart y la CWS (r=0,76 [IC95%: 0,68-0,90]); c) promedios ascendentes en la puntuación de la CWS a medida que los grupos conformados por cada opción de respuesta del Cancer Worry Chart expresan un mayor grado de preocupación (F=55,72; p0,000; ω2=0,57). La confiabilidad del Cancer Worry Chart está por encima de lo recomendado (αítem único=0,84). Conclusiones: La versión en español del Cancer Worry Chart mostró evidencias satisfactorias de validez de contenido, validez de constructo y confiabilidad para medir, de manera breve, rápida y general, la preocupación por el cáncer en personas sanas con antecedentes familiares de cáncer.(AU)

Objective: To translate into Spanish and evaluate the evidence of content validity, construct validity and reliability of the Cancer Worry Chart as a single item measure of worry for cancer. Method: The Spanish translation of the Cancer Worry Chart was done with the back-translation procedure. The participants were 165 healthy people with a family history of cancer who responded to the Cancer Worry Chart and the Cancer Worry Scale (CWS). Results: Translation back-translation allows a Spanish version of the Cancer Worry Chart whose content is clear, coherent and relevant (V˃.70). Evidence of construct validity is reported based on 3 criteria: a) an adequate adjustment of the one-dimensional model formed by the Cancer Worry Chart and the items of the CWS performed with the structural equations method (χ2S-B=23.38; df=14; χ2S-B/df=1.67; CFI=.988; RMSEA=.064); b) a significant correlation between the Cancer Worry Chart and the CWS (r= .76 [IC95%: .68-.90]); c) ascending averages in the CWS score as the groups formed by each response option of the Cancer Worry Chart express a greater degree of worry (F=55.72; P=.000; ω2=.57). The reliability of the Cancer Worry Chart is above what is recommended (αsingle item=.84). Conclusion: The Spanish version of the Cancer Worry Chart showed satisfactory evidence of content validity, construct validity and reliability to measure, briefly, quickly and generally, the worry for cancer in healthy people with a family history of cancer.(AU)

Medición de la voluntad de vivir en adultos mayores: adaptación transcultural, validez y confiabilidad de la Will-to-Live Scale / Measurement of the will to live in older adults: Transcultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the Will-to-Live Scale

OBJETIVO: La Will-to-Live Scale (WTLS) es utilizada para medir la voluntad de vivir en adultos mayores; sin embargo, no existe una versión en español. El objetivo del estudio fue traducir la WTLS al español, evaluar su estructura interna, su confiabilidad y los correlatos entre la WTLS y la satisfacción con la vida, la resiliencia y la depresión en adultos mayores peruanos. MÉTODO: Los participantes fueron 235 adultos mayores peruanos (M=72,69, DE=6,68) evaluados entre marzo y mayo de 2019, seleccionados a través de un muestreo no probabilístico. Se administró la WTLS, la Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), la Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS) y el Patient Health Questionnarie-2 (PHQ-2). El análisis de datos incluyó confiabilidad por consistencia interna y modelos de ecuaciones estructurales, específicamente el análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC), para probar la solución unidimensional de la WTLS y la validez convergente de la WTLS a nivel latente, al especificar un modelo de cuatro factores (voluntad de vivir, satisfacción con la vida, resiliencia y depresión). RESULTADOS: El coeficiente alfa de Cronbach y el índice de confiabilidad compuesto obtienen valores de 0,93 y 0,94, respectivamente. La estructura unidimensional de la WTLS se ajustó a los datos (χ2(5)=10,067, p = 0,073, CFI=0,999, RMSEA=0,066, SRMR=0,014) y mostró asociaciones positivas con la SWLS (ρ=0,82) y la BRCS (ρ=0,86), así como negativa con el PHQ-2 (ρ=−0,66). CONCLUSIÓN: La WTLS en español presenta evidencias de validez y confiabilidad para medir la voluntad de vivir en adultos mayores peruanos

OBJECTIVE: The Will-to-Live Scale (WTLS) is used to measure the will to live in older adults; however, there is no Spanish version. The objective of the study was to translate the WTLS into Spanish, assess its internal structure, reliability, and the correlates between WTLS and life satisfaction, resilience, and depression in older Peruvian adults. METHOD: The participants were 235 Peruvian older adults (M=72.69, SD=6.68), evaluated between March to May 2019, selected through non-probability sampling. The WTLS, the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) were administered. Data analysis included reliability by internal consistency and structural equation models, specifically confirmatory factor analysis (AFC), to test the one-dimensional solution of the WTLS and the convergent validity of the WTLS at the latent level, by specifying a four-factor model (will to live, life satisfaction, resilience and depression). RESULTS: Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the composite reliability index obtain values of .93 and .94, respectively. The one-dimensional structure of the WTLS was fitted to the data (χ2(5)=10,067, P=.073, CFI=.999, RMSEA=.066, SRMR=.014) and showed positive associations with the SWLS (ρ=.82), and BRCS (ρ=.86), as well as negative associations with the PHQ-2 (ρ=−.66). CONCLUSION: The WTLS in Spanish presents evidence of validity and reliability to measure the will to live in Peruvian older adults

Factorial validity and invariance analysis of the five items version of Mindful Awareness Attention Scale in older adults.

Objective: Mindfulness or the full attention state is a factor that contributes to the successful process of aging. This study aims to evaluate the evidence of validity, on the basis of the internal structure, convergent and discriminant validity, reliability and factorial invariance across gender, for the five items Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS-5) within a sample of older adults.Methods: The participants were 323 Peruvian older adults, consisting of 160 women and 163 men, whose average ages were 68.58 (S.D = 7.23) and 68.91 years (S.D = 7.12), respectively. In addition to the MAAS-5, the Satisfaction with Life Scale and the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 were administered.Results: The Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicates that the one-factor structure of the MAAS-5 presents adequate fit for the total sample (χ2 = 11.24, df = 5, χ2/df = 2.25, CFI = .99, RMSEA = .06 [90%CI: .01, .11]; and SRMR = .025), as well as for the sub-samples of men and women. This one-factor solution presents adequate internal consistency (ω = 80 [95%CI: .76 - .82]) and it is invariant across gender. Regarding convergent validity, high scores in the MAAS are associated with a greater satisfaction with life (r = .88, p< .01 [95%CI: .85, .95]) and less depression (r = -.56, p< .01 [95%CI: -.48, -.77]) in older adults.Conclusions: The preliminary results back the use of the MAAS-5 as a self-report measure of mindfulness that has an adequate unifactorial structure that is reliable and invariant across gender for measuring the full attention state in elderly Peruvians.

Evaluación psicométrica de la versión en español del Dimensions of Anger Reactions-5 (DAR-5) en universitarios / Psychometric evaluation of the Spanish version of Dimensions of Anger Reactions-5 (DAR-5) in university students

INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS: La ira está relacionada con la salud mental y física, por lo que su evaluación es importante para muchas ciencias de la salud donde se han implementado intervenciones para la regulación de la ira. En ese sentido, el objetivo del estudio fue traducir al español, evaluar la estructura factorial, confiabilidad e invariancia factorial con respecto al género del Dimensions of Anger Reactions (DAR-5), así como examinar la validez convergente y discriminante del DAR-5 con base en sus correlaciones con otra medida de propensión a la ira, bienestar, atención plena y ansiedad en estudiantes universitarios. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio para explorar la estructura interna de la escala y un análisis factorial multigrupo para probar la invariancia a través de género en una muestra de 420 estudiantes universitarios (Medad = 21.14, DT = 3.01) que contestaron las siguientes escalas: el DAR-5, Escala de propensión a la ira de García (APS-G), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS-5), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) y Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-2 (GAD-2). RESULTADOS: Los resultados indicaron que el DAR-5 es un instrumento esencialmente unidimensional y que proporcionan puntajes precisos (omega = .86 para la muestra total, omega = .87 para la submuestra de mujeres y omega = .86 para la submuestra de hombres). Se comprobó la invarianza configural, métrica y escalar del DAR-5, lo que lleva a asumir que mide el mismo constructo en hombres y mujeres. Asimismo, elevados niveles de ira se asociaron con una mayor ansiedad generalizada y una disminución de la satisfacción con la vida y la atención plena. CONCLUSIÓN: El DAR-5 es una medida de ira confiable, válida e invariante entre los estudiantes universitarios y puede recomendarse como un indicador de ajuste psicológico en esta población

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Anger is related to mental and physical health, so its evaluation is important for many health sciences where anger management interventions have been implemented. In this sense, the objective of the study was to translate into Spanish, evaluate the factor structure, reliability and factor invariance regarding the gender of the Dimensions of Anger Reactions (DAR-5), as well as examine the convergent and discriminant validity of DAR-5 based on its correlations with another measure of anger propensity, well-being, mindfulness, and anxiety in college students. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to explore the internal structure of the scale and a multigroup factor analysis to test the invariance through gender in a sample of 420 university students (Mage = 21.14, DT = 3.01) who answered the following scales: DAR-5, Garcia's Anger Propensity Scale (APS-G), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS-5), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-2 (GAD-2). RESULTS: The results indicated that the DAR-5 is an essentially one-dimensional instrument and that it provides precise scores (Omega = .86 for the total sample, Omega = .87 for the subsample of women and Omega = .86 for the subsample of men). The configurational, metric and scalar invariance of the DAR-5 was verified, which leads to the assumption that it measures the same construct in men and women. Likewise, elevated levels of anger were associated with increased generalized anxiety and decreased life satisfaction and mindfulness. CONCLUSIONS: The DAR-5 is a reliable, valid and invariant measure of anger among university students and can be recommended as an indicator of psychological adjustment in this population

Single item to assess for worry for cancer: Initial evidence of validity and reliability. / Ítem único para valorar la preocupación por el cáncer: evidencias iniciales de validez y confiabilidad.

OBJECTIVE: To translate into Spanish and evaluate the evidence of content validity, construct validity and reliability of the Cancer Worry Chart as a single item measure of worry for cancer. METHOD: The Spanish translation of the Cancer Worry Chart was done with the back-translation procedure. The participants were 165 healthy people with a family history of cancer who responded to the Cancer Worry Chart and the Cancer Worry Scale (CWS). RESULTS: Translation back-translation allows a Spanish version of the Cancer Worry Chart whose content is clear, coherent and relevant (V˃.70). Evidence of construct validity is reported based on 3 criteria: a) an adequate adjustment of the one-dimensional model formed by the Cancer Worry Chart and the items of the CWS performed with the structural equations method (χ2S-B=23.38; df=14; χ2S-B/df=1.67; CFI=.988; RMSEA=.064); b) a significant correlation between the Cancer Worry Chart and the CWS (r= .76 [IC95%: .68-.90]); c) ascending averages in the CWS score as the groups formed by each response option of the Cancer Worry Chart express a greater degree of worry (F=55.72; P=.000; ω2=.57). The reliability of the Cancer Worry Chart is above what is recommended (αsingle item=.84). CONCLUSION: The Spanish version of the Cancer Worry Chart showed satisfactory evidence of content validity, construct validity and reliability to measure, briefly, quickly and generally, the worry for cancer in healthy people with a family history of cancer.

Psychometric Evidence of the Diener's Satisfaction with Life Scale in Peruvian Elderly / Evidencia Psicométrica de la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida de Diener en adultos mayores peruanos / Evidência psicométrica da Escala de Satisfação com a Vida de Diener em Pessoas Idosas Peruanas

Abstract Introduction: In recent years, satisfaction with life has aroused the interest of gerontological research, thus being one of the most used concepts to measure subjective well-being, in addition to being an indicator of successful aging. Materials and methods: The psychometric properties of the Diener's Satisfaction with Life Scale were assessed in Peruvian elderly individuals. The instrument was applied to 236 elderly from the city of Trujillo (78.4 % female and 21.6 % male), with an average age of 72.8 years old, and their standard deviation = 6.90. In order to obtain convergent and discriminant validity, the tests Single Item of Satisfaction with Life Scale, Brief Resilient Coping Scale and the Geriatric Depression Scale were conducted. Results: Diener's Satisfaction with Life Scale shows a one-dimensional structure (χ2 = 10.960, df = 5, p = .05, χ2/ά/ = 2.192, GFI = .983, CFI = .994, NFI = .988; RMSEA = .071 [ci 90 % .000, .129]; and SRMR = .013), presenting positive correlations with resilience and negative correlations with depression. Moreover, it presents a high reliability index estimated by the method of internal consistency with the Cronbach's Alpha Test (α = .93), Omega coefficient (ω = .93; ci 95 %: .92 -.95) and GLB = .94. Conclusion: For purposes of research -among other-, we recommend the use of the Diener's Satisfaction with Life Scale for Peruvian elderly persons.
