ansiedad por enfermedad, confiabilidad, propiedades psicométricas, validaciónResumen
El presente estudio analiza las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Ansiedad por Enfermedad en una muestra de adultos puertorriqueños. Un total de 300 puertorriqueños participaron en este estudio de carácter exploratorio y psicométrico. Los resultados confirmaron que la escala posee una estructura unidimensional. Los 10 ítems de la escala cumplieron con los criterios de discriminación. El índice de confiabilidad alfa de Cronbach de la escala fue .95. Estos resultados sugieren que el instrumento tiene el potencial para medir este constructo en adultos puertorriqueños. Además, la escala permitirá el avance de nuevas investigaciones sobre la ansiedad por enfermedad en adultos puertorriqueños, caribeños y latinoamericanos.
