    Psychometric properties of the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS-SV) in adolescents in Peru
    Abstract To evaluate the structural validity, reliability, and measurement invariance of the Smartphone Addiction Scale in Peruvian adolescents. 1274 adolescents of both sexes, between 12 and 17 years old, residing in the cities of the coast (Chimbote), mountains (Cajamarca), and jungle (Tarapoto) of Peru were evaluated. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, and the measurement invariance according to age, region, and sex was evaluated using MIMIC (Multiple Indicator, Multiple Cause) models. Reliability was estimated through the Omega coefficient. A two-factor, 10-item model was obtained with optimal goodness-of-fit indices (CFI = 0.990; TLI = 0.986; SRMR = 0.04; RMSEA = 0.08). MIMIC models reported invariance for age groups, sex, and region (ΔCFI < 0.01, ΔRMSEA < 0.01). Reliability was optimal (>0.79). Conclusion: The Peruvian version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale (10 items) has shown adequate psychometric properties for use in the adolescent population.

    (Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2024-06-21) ; ;
    Coronado-Fernández, Jovita
    Objetivos. Adaptar del inglés al contexto cultural y lingüístico del Quechua Collao y analizar las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Ansiedad Generalizada de 7 ítems (GAD-7) en Puno, Perú. Material y métodos. El GAD-7 en su versión original fue traducido a la variedad del quechua Collao y se analizaron sus propiedades psicométricas, los participantes fueron bilingües (español y quechua) mayores de 18 años y de ambos sexos. Se evaluó el análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) empleando el análisis paralelo, el análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) y los índices de bondad de ajuste; asimismo se analizó la fiabilidad mediante el alfa clásico y Omega de Mc Donald. Resultados. Los jueces y participantes del grupo focal realizaron la adaptación cultural y lingüística del GAD-7 al Quechua Collao; el AFE reportó la presencia de un único factor (KMO=0,88, p=0,01); mientras que el AFC confirmó adecuados ajustes en el modelo unifactorial (CFI=0,994; TLI=0,991; SRMR=0,027; RMSEA=0,092), una buena confiabilidad (α=0,896; ω=0,894) y además fue invariante en grupos de edad, sexo, estado civil y grado de instrucción. Conclusiones. El cuestionario presentó validez para un modelo unidimensional del GAD-7 adaptado al Quechua Collao, así como una óptima confiabilidad e invarianza por los grupos evaluados. Su uso podría beneficiar la investigación y atención de la ansiedad.

    Research on life satisfaction in indigenous populations is limited due to language barriers. Therefore, this paper aimed to translate and validate the Life Satisfaction Scale into the original Quechua language (collao variant) of southern Peru. The research was classified as instrumental and transversal and was conducted with the voluntary participation of 242 Quechua adults speaking the collao variant. The instrument that was translated was the 5-item SWLS, previously adapted to Peruvian Spanish. The internal structure was analyzed under an analytical-factorial approach, and the discrimination and difficulty of the items were evaluated from the item response theory (IRT). Expert judgment was favorable for all items (V > 0.70), confirming the 1-dimensional structure of the scale (χ2 = 8.972, df = 5, p = .000; CFI = 0.985; TLI = 0.970 and RMSEA = 0.057), with acceptable reliability (ω = 0.65). All the items of the scale presented adequate discrimination indices; in addition, the results of the evaluation of factorial invariance as a function of gender demonstrated configurational equivalence but an absence of metric invariance. In conclusion, the SWLS translated into Collao Quechua (collao variant) has a stable factorial structure and adequate internal consistency, although it was not possible to completely demonstrate the invariance by gender, it can be used for initial investigations to measure satisfaction with life of the Quechua-speaking indigenous population of southern Peru.

    Objective Cultural adaptation of the Patient Health Questionnaire-PHQ-9 to Bolivian Quechua and analysis of the internal structure validity, reliability, and measurement invariance by sociodemographic variables. Methods The PHQ-9 was translated and back-translated (English-Quechua-English) to optimise translation. For the cultural adaptation, experts, and people from the target population (e.g., in focus groups) verified the suitability of the translated PHQ-9. For the psychometric analysis, we performed a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to evaluate internal validity, calculated α and ω indices to assess reliability, and performed a Multiple Indicator, Multiple Cause (MIMIC) model for evaluating measurement invariance by sex, age, marital status, educational level and residence. We used standard goodness-of-fit indices to interpret both CFA results. Results The experts and focus groups improved the translated PHQ-9, making it clear and culturally equivalent. For the psychometric analysis, we included data from 397 participants, from which 73.3% were female, 33.0% were 18–30 years old, 56.7% reported primary school studies, 63.2% were single, and 62.0% resided in urban areas. In the CFA, the single-factor model showed adequate fit (Comparative Fit Index = 0.983; Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.977; Standardized Root Mean Squared Residual = 0.046; Root Mean Squared Error of Approximation = 0.069), while the reliability was optimal (α = 0.869—0.877; ω = 0.874—0.885). The invariance was confirmed across all sociodemographic variables (Change in Comparative Fit Index (delta) or Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (delta) < 0.01). Conclusions The PHQ-9 adapted to Bolivian Quechua offers a valid, reliable and invariant unidimensional measurement across groups by sex, age, marital status, educational level and residence.

    The COVID-19 pandemic drastically affected higher education and higher education students around the world, but few studies of college students’ experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic have been conducted in Latin America. This study describes the COVID-19-related experiences and perspectives of Peruvian college students. We surveyed 3,427 full-time college students (average age: 23 years) attending a multi-campus Peruvian university in fall 2020. Participants were recruited through the digital platform of the learning management system at their university, email, and social media. We asked participants how they were managing risks related to COVID-19; the continuity of social, educational, and work activities; and the psychological and economic impacts of the pandemic on their lives. Since March 2020, 73.0% of participants reported COVID-19-related symptoms, but only 33.9% were tested for COVID-19. During the national quarantine imposed by the Peruvian government (March 15–June 30, 2020), 64.3% of participants remained in their house. Furthermore, while 44.0% of participants were working in February 2020 (95% CI: [41.7%, 46.4%]), only 23.6% (95% CI: [21.7%, 25.7%]) were working immediately after the pandemic began (i.e., at the end of April 2020). Participants were more stressed about the health and educational implications of COVID-19 for Peruvian society and their families than about themselves. The public health, economic, and educational implications of COVID-19 on college students are continuing to unfold. This study informed Peruvian higher education institutions’ continued response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the progressive return to postpandemic activities, as well as other future pandemics and other crises.

    Narrative review on the therapeutic approach to violence against women during the covid-19 pandemic in latin america
    Violence against women during the pandemic has become a problem that has affected the world and to date has caused the death of many women. Although mental health has shown a growing interest in research, it is still very susceptible to being affected. This research described the scientific literature on the challenges in the psychotherapeutic approach in victims of violence against women during the COVID-19 pandemic in Latin America. A narrative review was carried out with a search of documents in the Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed databases, using descriptors for women, violence against women, COVID-19 and Latin America. As a result, 12 studies were included, which reported that the use of helplines, digital platforms of care and teletherapy were advantageous in several Latin American countries during the pandemic; difficulties were found in the accessibility of care for cases, collapse of telephone lines, technical problems of the system and the need for training for health professionals and service providers. It can be concluded that the coping strategies most used during the pandemic were the help services, through telephone and virtual care; there was difficulty in following up and monitoring the case in the medium and long terms, so further studies could focus on it. The main limitation of this work is methodological, since a number of studies could have been excluded from the searches for not including some of the terms in the search equation.

    Scientific production on instruments adapted to native languages in the Peruvian context
    Objective To describe the scientific output on instruments adapted to Indigenous languages in Peru. Methods A narrative review was conducted based on a search in Scopus, SciELO, PubMed, and LILACS using search terms related to psychometric properties, Peru, and Indigenous languages, refining the search by title, abstract, and keywords. The search was conducted in January 2025, yielding 9 studies in Scopus, 4 in SciELO, 28 in PubMed, and 10 in LILACS. After removing duplicates and excluding studies that did not meet the inclusion criteria, a final sample of *n* = 6 studies was obtained. Results The instruments adapted to certain Quechua varieties assessed depression, anxiety, general mental health, overall well-being, and life satisfaction. Five out of six studies were conducted with bilingual adult populations. A smaller number of items corresponded to smaller sample sizes (e.g., * n * = 186 as the minimum for 5 items). The studies examined sources of validity including internal structure, content, criterion-related evidence, and measurement invariance. For reliability, they used classical Alpha coefficients and McDonald’s Omega. Conclusion Few studies were found on the adaptation of psychometric instruments to certain Quechua varieties. The instruments addressed the assessment of depression, anxiety, general well-being, life satisfaction, and overall mental health. University authorities in Peru could foster psychometric research initiatives within Indigenous communities.

    Producción científica sobre validación y adaptación de instrumentos de tamizaje de la depresión en población peruana
    El objetivo de la investigación fue describir la producción científica sobre estudios psicométricos de instrumentos de tamizaje para la depresión en población peruana. Para ello, se realizó un estudio descriptivo de la literatura científica en Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed y SciELO, con descriptores para depresión, propiedades psicométricas y Perú. Luego del proceso de revisión se incluyeron 22 estudios. Se encontraron validaciones de instrumentos de tamizaje en adultos mayores, adultos, adultos con depresión, mujeres adultas, mujeres embarazadas, profesionales de salud, estudiantes universitarios, estudiantes de secundaria y niños. El Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) fue el instrumento más estudiado. A pesar de que los estudios psicométricos cubren la mayoría de las poblaciones, quedan pendientes los pueblos originarios y poblaciones clínicas. El PHQ-9, por sus características, podría implementarse en las políticas de salud mental del Perú.

    Academic Procrastination, Depressive Symptoms and Suicidal Ideation in University Students: A look during the Pandemic
    Objective: The aim is to determine the relationship between academic procrastination, depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation in students of the Faculty of Health Sciences. Method: It was a non-experimental and cross-sectional study of correlational scope. The non-probabilistic convenience sample, made up of 578 participants between 16 and 30 years old (69% female), completed the Academic Procrastination Scale, the Positive and Negative Suicidal Ideation Inventory (PANSI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II). Frequencies and percentages were estimated at a descriptive level, the partial correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression were utilized to examine the associations between academic procrastination and suicidal ideation. Results: Subjects with a higher score of academic procrastination and BDI-II reported higher scores for suicidal ideation than those with a lower score (P < 0.01). A positive significant relationship was found between total academic procrastination and its subscales and suicidal ideation (P < 0.01). This correlation remained significant after controlling for depression (P < 0.05). Moreover, multiple linear regression revealed that academic procrastination, its subscales and depressive symptoms could explain about 20% of the total suicidal ideation in university students (R2 = 0.198). Conclusion: Increased levels of academic procrastination increase suicidal ideation in college students during the pandemic. These results suggest the need to create interventions for the prevention of this problem in the fields of educational and public health.
