Validaci贸n de la Escala de Asertividad en la Relaci贸n Paciente-M茅dico en mujeres embarazadas mexicanas
The medical model has put aside the paternalistic relationship between physician and patient to give way to the patient-centered model, where the patient occupies an active role in their health care, so the establishment of adequate communication becomes relevant. Assertiveness is a tool that favors effective communication and is also capable of being trained. Effective communication between the health professional and pregnant women is a key element for the optimal delivery of obstetric care. Objective: To analyze the psychometric properties of the Scale of Assertivity of Patients-Medical Personnel (SAPMP) in pregnant Mexican women. Method: 716 pregnant women aged between 13 and 46 years (M = 26.55; SD = 6.56) were recruited, who answered an identification form and the SAPMP. The construct validity of the SAPMP was assessed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Its internal consistency was determined by calculating Cronbach's 伪 and McDonald's 蠅. Results: The validation of the SAPMP with Mexican pregnant women detected that it has a bifactorial structure, with uncorrelated factors, each one with an internal consistency from acceptable to very high, which together explain 64% of the variance. The two factors showed adequate discriminant validity, although the internal convergent validity was unacceptable. The internal consistency of the No assertiveness factor indicates the redundancy of some of its items. Conclusions: The SAPMP validated in pregnant Mexican women has adequate psychometric properties to evaluate assertive communication between the physician and the woman user of obstetrical-gynecological care services. However, new studies must be carried out in order to address the problem of internal convergent validity detected, as well as internal consistency for the No assertiveness factor.El modelo m茅dico ha dejado de lado la relaci贸n paternalista entre m茅dico y paciente para dar lugar al modelo centrado en el paciente, en donde este ocupa un lugar activo en el cuidado de su salud. Es as铆 que toma relevancia el establecimiento de una adecuada comunicaci贸n. La asertividad es una herramienta que favorece la comunicaci贸n eficaz, siendo adem谩s susceptible de ser entrenada. Una comunicaci贸n efectiva entre el profesional de la salud y las mujeres embarazadas es un elemento clave para la 贸ptima prestaci贸n de la atenci贸n obst茅trica. Objetivo: Analizar las propiedades psicom茅tricas de la Escala de Asertividad en la Relaci贸n Paciente-M茅dico (EARPM) en mujeres mexicanas embarazadas. M茅todo: Se reclut贸 a 716 mujeres embarazadas cuya edad oscil贸 entre 13 y 46 a帽os (M = 26.55; DE = 6.56), quienes respondieron una ficha de identificaci贸n y la EARPM. La validez de constructo de la EARPM se evalu贸 mediante an谩lisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio. Su consistencia interna se determin贸 por el c谩lculo del 伪 de Cronbach y el 蠅 de McDonald. Resultados: La validaci贸n de la EARPM con mujeres embarazadas mexicanas detect贸 que esta posee una estructura bifactorial, con factores no correlacionados, cada uno con una consistencia interna de aceptable a muy elevada, que en su conjunto explican el 64% de la varianza. Los dos factores mostraron adecuada validez discriminante, aunque la validez convergente interna fue inaceptable. La consistencia interna del factor No asertividad indica la redundancia de algunos de sus reactivos. Conclusiones: La EARPM validada en mujeres mexicanas embarazadas presenta adecuadas propiedades psicom茅tricas para evaluar la comunicaci贸n asertiva entre el m茅dico y la mujer usuaria de servicios de atenci贸n gineco obstetra. No obstante, nuevos estudios deber ser elaborados a fin de atender el problema de validez convergente interna detectado, as铆 como de consistencia interna para el factor No asertividad
