Validación de la Escala de bienestar mental de Wareick-Edinburgo, en Chile
Abstract
Introducción: El bienestar mental es un constructo relevante, pero ha sido poco estudiado y existen muy pocos cuestionarios para su valoración. Objetivo: Adaptar y validar la versión española de la Escala de Bienestar Mental de WarwickEdimburgo. Material y Método: Se realizó un procedimiento de validación semántica, seguido de una aplicación a 220 personas adultas para estudiar sus propiedades psicométricas. Resultados: Se introdujeron cambios semánticos mínimos. Se utilizó un análisis factorial de componentes principales, con buenos resultados (KMO= 0,897) y una muy buena consistencia interna para un factor(? = 0,875). Este cuestionario mostró una buena correlación con el GHQ- 12 y el cuestionario de calidad de vida WHOQOL-BREF. La correlación test - retest fue positiva y estadísticamente significativa (r = 0,556, p < 0,001). Conclusión: Esta escala mostró buenos indicadores psicométricos, siendo una herramienta útil y fácil de aplicar para la evaluación del bienestar mental en adultos.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
