Abstract


espanolObjetivo Desarrollo de la version breve de la Escala Humanizar reduciendo la dimensionalidad y el numero de items. Metodos La Escala Humanizar (24 items con escala Likert), consta de 5 factores que dan sentido al sufrimiento: trascendencia, castigo, catalizador de cambio, masoquismo e inherente a la vida. Con una primera muestra (n = 529) se realizaron analisis paralelos y analisis factorial exploratorio (AFE). Con una muestra diferente (n = 182), se confirmo la estructura bidimensional de la escala mediante analisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC). Resultados El procedimiento de los analisis paralelos obtuvo 2 factores. Tras el AFE se retuvieron 15 items con comunalidades mayores de 0,4. El AFC confirmo el modelo bidimensional siendo el primer factor: sentido del sufrimiento como Cambio (8 items) y el segundo: sentido del sufrimiento como Carga (6 items). Los indices de ajuste fueron adecuados: raiz cuadrada del error medio cuadratico (RMSEA) = 0,07; raiz normalizada cuadrada media residual (SRMR) = 0,08; indice de ajuste comparativo (CFI) = 0,96 e indice de bondad de ajuste (GFI) = 0,99. Los pesos factoriales fueron significativos y mayores de 0,5. El coeficiente alfa de Cronbach fue de 0,75 para el primer factor y de 0,74 para el segundo. Los factores mostraron una correlacion de 0,56 (p Se encontraron diferencias significativas (p Conclusiones La bidimensionalidad y la utilidad de la escala sobre el sentido del sufrimiento han quedado bien definidas. EnglishObjective To develop the short version of the brief Humanizar Scale, including reducing the dimensionality and the number of items. Methods The Humanizar Scale (24 items with Likert scale), consists of five factors that give meaning to suffering; significance, punishment, catalyst for change, masochism, inherent to life. A parallel analysis and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were carried out on a first sample (n = 529) and, using a different sample (n = 182) the two-dimensional structure of the scale was confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results The parallel analysis procedure obtained two factors. After the EFA, 15 items were retained with greater than 0.4 commonalities. The CFA confirmed the two-dimensional model including the first factor, the sense of suffering as a change (8 items) and the second, the sense of suffering as a burden (6 items). The goodness of fit were suitable: RMSEA=0.07; SRMR=0.08; CFI=0.96, and GFI=0.99. The weight factor of all items was significant and greater than 0.5. Cronbach Alpha was 0.75 for the first factor, and 0.74 for second. The factors showed a correlation of 0.56 (P Significant differences were found (P Conclusions The two-dimensionality and the usefulness of the scale on the meaning of suffering have been well-defined.
