Propiedades psicométricas de la versión en castellano del cuestionario de las actitudes de los estudiantes hacia la esquizofrenia

Abstract

RESUMEN:En el presente estudio se analiza las propiedades psicométricas de la versión en castellano del Cuestionario de Actitudes de los Estudiantes hacia la Esquizofrenia. Se trata de un instrumento diseñado y aplicado originalmente en Alemania. Los resultados encontrados señalan un alpha de Cronbach de .95. El Análisis Factorial Exploratorio señaló la existencia, al igual que la versión original, de dos factores con una varianza total explicada del 59.94%. Esta estructura fue confirmada por el Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio. Sin embargo, el contenido y significado de estos dos factores difieren ligeramente de la muestra alemana. En este caso, el primer factor haría referencia a miedo o temor hacia las personas con esquizofrenia, el segundo se refiere a estereotipos. Se discute la importancia de estos resultados. Palabras clave: Estigma, Esquizofrenia, Actitudes, Discriminación, Salud Mental.

It is an instrument originally designed and applied in Germany. The results found point to a Cronbach alpha of .95. The Exploratory Factor Analysis indicated the existence, as the original version, of two factors with a total variance explained of 59.94%. This structure was confirmed by the Factorial Confirmatory Analysis. However, the content and significance of these two factors differ slightly from the German sample. In this case, the first factor would refer to fear or fear towards people with schizophrenia, the second refers to stereotypes. The importance of these results is discussed.

Education Students' Stigma Toward Mental Health Problems: A Cross-Cultural Comparison

“…This study seeks to identify the stigma present among future education professionals in order to conduct a comparative analysis. For this purpose, we include as Supplementary Material the validation of the questionnaire in Russia and Canada, since the validation in the Spanish context is already published (28). Once the psychometric properties of the QSAS questionnaire were verified in the three countries, the objective of the study was to analyze if there were differences in stigma between the Education students of the three countries.…”

Stigma-Stop: A Serious Game against the Stigma toward Mental Health in Educational Settings
