“…In the evaluation by Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the original structure (6 factors), the adjustment indices obtained showed values below what is considered adequate. This re-sult presents differences with previous studies (Aguilar, 2018;Cabarcas & Mendoza, 2016;Gómez-Acosta et al, 2020;González & Valdez, 2016;Hurtado-Pardos et al, 2018;Martínez Aparicio et al, 2015;Sequeira et al, 2014). In the background check, the dimensionality of the instrument is not stable, but varies from models that comprise six dimensions, such as the original, to one-dimensional models.…”

La salud mental positiva es un constructo complejo que está relacionado con el funcionamiento óptimo de la persona. Comprende un conjunto de cualidades orientadas al desarrollo del potencial del individuo. La Escala de Salud Mental Positiva es uno de los instrumentos más utilizados para evaluarlo, sin embargo, los antecedentes señalan inconsistencias respecto a su estructura interna. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Salud Mental Positiva en Arequipa-Perú. Participaron 3933 personas, 50.3% fueron mujeres y 49.7% fueron varones, incluyendo desde adolescentes hasta adultos mayores. La evaluación mediante AFC de la estructura original evidenció índices de ajuste pobres, por lo que se tuvo que evaluar la dimensionalidad y proponer una nueva estructura. Para lo cual, se dividió a la muestra (n1 = 1966 y n2 = 1967). En la primera, se aplicó un AFE y en la segunda se valida mediante un AFC. Se hallaron tres factores y se concluye que tiene un buen ajuste (χ2(431) = 2473.378; CFI = .959; TLI = .956, RMSEA = .049; SRMR = .051). La consistencia interna mostró valores mayores a .81. Finalmente, se evaluó la equivalencia de la medición según el sexo, hallando que el instrumento presenta invarianza de la medición. Positive mental health is a complex construct that is related to the optimal functioning of the person. It comprises a set of qualities aimed at the development of the individual's potential. The Positive Mental Health Scale is one of the most used instruments to evaluate it, however, the antecedents indicate inconsistencies regarding its internal structure. The objective of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Positive Mental Health Scale in Arequipa-Peru. 3,933 people participated, 50.3% were women and 49.7% were men, including from adolescents to the elderly. The evaluation by CFA of the original structure showed poor fit indices, so the dimensionality had to be evaluated and a new structure had to be proposed. For which the sample is divided (n1 = 1,966 and n2 = 1,967). In the first, an EFA was applied and in the second, it is validated by means of a CFA. Three factors were found and it is concluded that it has a good fit (χ2 (431) = 2,473.378; CFI = .959; TLI = .956, RMSEA = .049; SRMR = .051). The internal consistency showed values greater than .81. Finally, the equivalence of the measurement according to sex was evaluated, finding that the instrument presents measurement invariance.

“…The PSS-4 has an adequate capacity to predict possible depressive and anxiety symptoms (APA, 2023;Feng et al, 2023), as well as acceptable levels of prediction of protective factors such as resilience (Finstad et al, 2021) and post-traumatic growth (Gómez-Acosta et al, 2023), confirming hypothesis 5. Accordingly, the ultra-brief version of the PSS-4 could be used as an input to obtain possible indicators of mental health impairment and for the development of primary care actions, particularly in Colombian professionals exposed to multiple psychosocial stressors in the different work environments where they work (Stringer, 2023a), such as precarious employment contracts, long working hours, lack of social benefits and performance of their duties in dangerous contexts, among others (Gómez-Acosta et al, 2022).…”

The Perceived Stress Scale-4 (PSS-4) is an ultra-brief self-report measure to assess perceived psychological stress. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the PSS-4 in Colombia. A total of 1911 adult participants with university education completed the PSS-4. Characteristics of the items and the subscales were explored. Dimensionality was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), incorporating an examination of invariance (configural, metric, scalar, and strict) across socio-demographic characteristics. Construct validity (convergent and discriminant), reliability indices, know-groups, and predictive validity were also computed. The CFA showed adequate fit indices for the two-factor model (hopelessness and coping), being invariant across gender, income level, age, and work status. Internal consistency was adequate for the PSS-4 (α = .73, ω = .72, λ2 = .74). Significant positive correlations of the PSS-4 were identified with depression (r = .59) and anxiety (r = .55), as well as significant negative with post-traumatic growth (r = -.37) and resilience (r = -.47). The PSS-4 showed adequate capacity to predict potential depressive and anxiety symptoms, as well as protective factors such as resilience and posttraumatic growth. Higher scores on the PSS-4 were observed among young people, as well as among people with lower incomes and those unemployed. These findings suggest that the PSS-4 can be a reliable and valid tool for assessing psychological stress in Colombians with university education.

“…182). Se consideró que esta escala es oportuna para investigación porque fue diseñada y validada desde el idioma español y fue validada con jóvenes colombianos (Gómez-Acosta et al, 2020). Para el presente estudio se contó con la autorización de la autora para utilizarla, los estudiantes tomaron aproximadamente 20 minutos para contestar dicha escala.…”

La principal tendencia en los estudios de salud mental ha sido la identificación de trastornos psicológicos en la población, este estudio aporta en otro sentido, desde la psicología positiva que postula la salud mental positiva (SMP). Se aplicó la escala de SMP de Lluch (1999) a una muestra de 593 estudiantes indígenas mayas universitarios, seleccionada de forma intencional en 5 unidades académicas de la USAC para balancear la cantidad de hombres y mujeres y, residentes de la capital y del interior del país. La escala de SMP obtuvo un α= 0.906, posee consistencia interna y resultados confiables. La SMP de la muestra es regular ya que obtuvo una M=93.4, las subescalas más bajas fueron satisfacción personal y autocontrol, las más elevadas fueron actitud prosocial, autoconocimiento, resolución de problemas y actualización y, habilidades de relaciones interpersonales. Los hombres tienen mayor promedio de SMP que las mujeres con una significancia de p < .009, el tamaño del efecto es grande; las mujeres tienen mayor promedio de autonomía que los hombres con una significancia de p < .001, el tamaño del efecto es pequeño. Asistir a psicoterapia mejoró las relaciones interpersonales de los estudiantes de la muestra al compararlos con los que no la han tenido, con una significancia de p < .05, el tamaño del efecto es pequeño. Se encontró una correlación negativa nula entre la edad y la SMP con una significancia de p < .05, evidencia de patrones conductuales estables que no cambian con el paso de los años.
