Abstract

Resumen Objetivo: Analizar las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario ISTAS 21 para valorar los riesgos psicosociales en personal de salud hospitalario y de servicios de atención primaria que suministran cuidados a pacientes Covid-19. Metodología: Diseño descriptivo, transversal, en el que se analiza las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario ISTAS 21, para valorar los riesgos psicosociales en personal de salud. Resultados: Se evaluaron 231 profesionales (M=34.9, DE = 9.36 años), provenientes de hospitales y servicios de atención primaria. El análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) evidencia pobre ajuste para el modelo de 5 factores de la estructura original (RMSEA = .120, CFI = .660, TLI = .597, y SRMR = .140), por lo que se evalúa la estructura con un AFE, que explica el 50% de la varianza y posee 5 factores, con adecuada consistencia interna. Conclusión: El ISTAS 21 cuenta con evidencia de validez y adecuada consistencia interna; y puede ser usado para identificar riesgos psicosociales en personal de salud peruanos que atienden pacientes Covid-19.

Abstract Objective: To analyze the psychometric properties of the ISTAS 21 questionnaire to assess psychosocial risks in hospital and primary health care personnel who provide care to Covid-19 patients. Methodology: the study has a descriptive, cross-sectional design, in which the psychometric properties of the ISTAS 21 questionnaire to assess psychosocial risks in health personnel were analyzed. Results: 231 professionals (M=34.9, SD=9.36 years) from hospitals and primary care services were evaluated. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) evidences poor fit for the 5-factor model of the original structure (RMSEA = .120, CFI = .660, TLI = .597, and SRMR = .140), so the structure is evaluated with an AFE, which explains 50% of the variance and has 5 factors, with adequate internal consistency. Conclusions: It is concluded that the ISTAS 21 has evidence of validity and adequate internal consistency; and can be used to identify psychosocial risks in Peruvian health personnel who care for Covid-19 patients.
