RESUMEN
INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS:
El apoyo social representa un factor protector para la mujer embarazada, contribuyendo al afrontamiento favorable de estresores. De ahí la importancia del apoyo social de la pareja, ya que su involucramiento propicia la adaptación de la mujer al embarazo, repercutiendo en su salud física y psicológica. El objetivo del estudio fue adaptar y evaluar la estructura interna de la escala AFA-R como medida del apoyo social familiar y de pareja. MATERIAL YMÉTODOS:
Participaron 284 mujeres mexicanas embarazadas. El muestreo por conveniencia se realizó en clínicas del sector salud. Se realizaron análisis de consistencia interna, análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) (n = 100) y análisis confirmatorio (AFC) (n = 184).RESULTADOS:
Se obtuvo un alfa de .927 y evidencia de validez de criterio evaluada con medidas de estrés (rs = -.391) y ansiedad (rs = -.401). El AFE determinó una estructura bifactorial que explica el 68.07% de la varianza. El AFC mostró buena confiabilidad compuesta (CR > .8) y adecuada validez convergente (AVE > .5) en ambas variables latentes.CONCLUSIONES:
Se confirma la estructura bifactorial para valorar el apoyo social familiar y de pareja en mujeres embarazadas con la versión adaptada del AFA-RABSTRACT

Social support represents a protective factor for pregnant women, contributing to the favorable coping of stressors. Hence the importance of a partner's social support, since their involvement promotes a woman's adaptation to pregnancy, affecting her physical and psychological health. The objective of the study was to adapt and evaluate the internal structure of the AFA-R scale as a measure of family and partner's social support. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Two hundred and eighty fourMexican pregnant women participated. Sampling for convenience was performed in health sector clinics. Internal consistency analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) (n = 100) and confirmatory analysis (CFA) (n = 184) were performed.RESULTS:
An alpha of .927 was obtained, and evidence for criteria validity was assessed with stress measures (rs = -.391) and anxiety (rs = -.401) The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) determined a bifactorial structure that explains 68.07% of the variance. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed good composite reliability (CR > .8) and an adequate average variance was extracted (AAV > .5) from both latent variables.CONCLUSIONS:
The bifactorial structure is confirmed to assess family and partner's social support in pregnant women with the AFA-R's adapted version
