The Revista Iberoamericana de Psicología y Salud, Official Journal of the Federación Iberoamericana de Asociaciones de Psicología (FIAP) and of the Sociedad Universitaria de Investigación en Psicología y Salud (SUIPS) publishes bilbliometric and empirical articles and meta-analytic reviews focused on topics dealing with psychology and health sciences. Papers in Spanish, Portuguese and English may be submitted. The journal is driven to researchers, academics and professionals, especially from the Latin-American community, in Psychology and health sciences (e.g., medicine, nursing, physiotherapy) with the aim of serving as a bridge between those areas and to transfer evidence based knowledge to academics and professionals at real time.

Resumen

Este estudio tiene como objetivos determinar la estructura factorial de la escala de Discriminación Temida y Percibida para mujeres con VIH (DTP-48-MV), calcular su consistencia interna, describir su distribución y contrastar su validez convergente. Se aplicó la escala DTP-48-MV y la de expresión de la Ira del inventario STAXI-2 a una muestra aleatoria de 200 mujeres mexicanas con VIH, con 34.88 años de media de edad y 3.79 años de tiempo transcurrido desde el diagnóstico. Se hallaron seis factores correlacionados que explicaron el 73% de la varianza total de los 40 ítems seleccionados: discriminación temida, percibida en el trabajo y vecindario, percibida en el ámbito familiar, percibida en la atención clínica, percibida ante la consulta del expediente clínico y momentos percibidos de discriminación. El ajuste a los datos fue bueno por mínimos cuadrados ordinales: GFI = .94, AGFI = .93, NFI = .92 y RFI = .91. La consistencia interna de la escala y sus factores fue alta. La correlación entre las puntuaciones totales de ambas escalas fue positiva y significativa. Se concluye que la escala es confiable y válida, por lo que permitirá planificar diseños de investigación en los que se mida la discriminación temida y percibida.

Abstract

The aims of this study were to determine the factor structure of the scale of Perceived and Feared Discrimination for women with HIV (DTP-48-MV), to calculate its internal consistency, to describe its distribution and to verify its convergent validity. The PFD-48-WH scale and the STAXI-2 anger expression scale were applied to a random sample of 200 women with HIV, with 34.88 years of age mean and 3.79 years of the diagnosis time mean. Six correlated factors, that explained 73% of the selected 40 items total variance, were found: Feared discrimination, perceived discrimination in workplace and neighbourhood, perceived discrimination within family, perceived discrimination in clinical care, perceived discrimination before the consultation of the medical record, and perceived moments of discrimination. The fit to data was good by scale-free least squares: GFI = .94, AGFI = .93, NFI = .92 and RFI = .91. The values of internal consistency of total score and factors were high. The correlation between the total scores of both scales was positive and significant. It is concluded that the scale is reliable and valid, so it will allow planning research designs in which feared and perceived discrimination can be measured.
