RESUMEN
Introducción: la obesidad es una enfermedad asociada a diferentes trastornos físicos y emocionales que inciden en la calidad de vida y que representan un problema de elevada prevalencia en el mundo. La etiología es múltiple y compleja; se ha señalado la culpa como consecuencia del sobrepeso y, al mismo tiempo, como factor asociado al aumento de peso. En México no existen instrumentos para evaluar la culpa por obesidad y sobrepeso en niños y adolescentes. Objetivos: analizar la fiabilidad y validez de la Escala de Culpa por Obesidad o Sobrepeso para Niños y Adolescentes (ECOSNA) en población de Morelia (México). Material y métodos: se elaboró una versión preliminar basada en la bibliografía que se sometió a la revisión de jueces expertos. La escala obtenida de 6 ítems se aplicó a una muestra de 1.418 estudiantes de educación básica de 7 a 15 años. Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio y se estudió la relación de la escala con otras variables como autoestima, sintomatología depresiva y ansiedad. Resultados: la escala resultó unifactorial, se obtuvo un índice alfa de Cronbach de 0,853. La escala ECOSNA mostró una correlación moderada e inversa con la escala de autoestima, y directa y baja con la sintomatología depresiva y la ansiedad clínica. Conclusión: los datos empíricos indican que la escala presenta una validez y confiabilidad satisfactorias (AU)
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Obesity is a disease associated with a number of physical and emotional disorders that affect the quality of life, and is a worldwide problem with high incidence rates. The cause of these diseases is complex and involves multiple factors. Guilt has been signaled as a consequence of obesity and at the same time as a factor contributing to weight gain. In Mexico there is no available method to evaluate the presence of guilt due to obesity and overweight in children and adults. Objectives: Analyze reliability and validity of a scale to measure guilt due to obesity or overweight in children and adolescents in the population of Morelia (Mexico). Material and methods: The construct of guilt was operationally defined and submitted for peer review judges. From the evaluation of judges a draft of 8 items that are applied to a sample of 1,418 elementary school students from 7 to 15 years. One confirmatory factor analysis was performed and the relationship of scale with other variables such as self-esteem, depressive symptoms and anxiety were studied. Results: The scale was unifactorial. The internal reliability was high. There was a moderate and inverse correlation with the scale of self-stem. A direct and low correlation was found with symptoms of depression and clinical anxiety. Conclusion: The empirical data shows that the validity and reliability of the scale are satisfactory (AU)
