Abstract
La Escala del Impacto Esfresante y su versión revisada
(IES-R) han sido utilizadas para evaluar slntomatologla en
trastornos de ansiedad. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar
las propiedades psicométricas de la versión espal1o/a del IESR
y averiguar su punto de corte para discriminar malestar
emocional significativo.
Un total de 193 pacientes ambulatorios con cáncer
cumplimentan la escala IES-R y se les evalúa con la entrevista
psiquiátrica. Se realiza un análisis factorial exploratorio como
aproximación a la estructura interna del cuestionario, seguido
de un análisis factorial confirmatorio para calcular la bondad de
ajuste de la dimensionalidad del cuestionario. La exactitud
discriminatoria de una prueba para un determinado punto de
corte se halla con la curva ROC (<<Receivíng Operate Curve»).
En pacientes con cáncer el modelo con parámetros de
bondad de ajuste adecuados es el formado por dos dimensiones:
intrusión/hiperactivación y evitación ()(2 = 166, 11; g./: 188),
explican el 39, 77% de la varianza total. Con la curva ROC los
in dices de sensibilidad y especificidad no ofrecen una exactitud aceptable en los puntos de corte para discn'minar casos c/lnicos.
En la comparación de medias de la puntuación total de la escala
IES-R entre pacientes con diagnostico de trastorno psiquiátn'co
(X= 20,08; Sdx= 1,27) ypacientes sin diagnostico de trastorno
psiquiátrico IX= 14,4; Sdx= 0,88) las diferencias son
significativas T= 3,78 (P<0,001).
La escala IES-R es un instrumento con adecuadas
propiedades psicométn'cas pero que en pacientes con cáncer
no consigue replicar la estructura 'acton'al propuesta desde el
modelo teón'co del que surge.
The impact of event scale and the revised version (IES-R) have been used to assess cases with anxious disorders. The main objective in this study is to analyse the psychometric properties in the IES-R Spanish version, and to determine the cut-off score to detect cases with high level of di stress. A total of 193 out-patients cancer completed the IES-R, and were assessed throl.!gh a psychlatric in terview. We did an exploratory fa cton'a I analysls to evaluate the Internal structure in this scale, and a conflrmatory factorial analysis to determine the adjustment goodness of the dimensionality in thls scale. The discrlminatoryexactitude of a scale for a cut-off score is determlned through the receiving operate curve (ROC). In patients wlth cancer, the model with fit adjustment goodness ís composed by two dimenslons: intruslon/ hyperactivation and avoidance (X2=166, 11; g.I:188), that explain 39,77% o, the total variance. With the ROC ahalysls, the sensibility and specificity scores not offer an acceptable accuracy in the cut-off scores to detect cllnical cases. The differeríces in the mean companson between the total score of the IES-R in patients with psychiatric disorders (X=20,08; DS=1,27) and non-psychiatric diagnosis (X= 14, 4; DS=0,88) were signiflcant (T=3,78;P<0,001). The IES-R is an instrument wffh satisfactory psychometric propertles but the factor structure of the translation in caneer patlents was not similar to the proposed theoretical structure o, the IES-R.
