Abstract
El propósito del estudio fue determinar la confiabilidad y la validez del Cuestionario de Salud SF-36 en un grupo de personas jubiladas universitarias costarricenses. Participaron 79 personas (39 mujeres y 40 hombres) jubiladas universitarias entre los 52 y los 75 años, quienes completaron el cuestionario SF-36. Los resultados de la confiabilidad mostraron α de Cronbach altos para tres de las sub escalas de la dimensión de Salud Física (Función Física [FF] = 0.75, Rol Físico [RF] = 0.87, Dolor Corporal [DC] = 0.81) y moderado solo en una (Salud General [SG] = 0.61). En la dimensión de Salud Mental se obtuvieron α de Cronbach altos (Salud Mental [SM] = 0.79, Rol Emocional [RE] = 0.94), uno bajo (Función Social [FS] = 0.44) y un valor negativo (Vitalidad [V] = -0.43). Con respecto a la validez de la estructura factorial, se concluye que el instrumento no mantuvo su estructura original, lo que indica que es necesario realizar un proceso de validación del instrumento SF36 antes de utilizarlo en la población de personas jubiladas en Costa Rica.
The purpose of the study was to obtain the reliability and validity of the SF-36 Health Survey in a group of Costa Rican university retirees. Participants were 79 (39 females and 40 males) former university employees between the ages of 52 and 75 years, who completed the SF36 questionnaire. Reliability results showed a high Cronbach’s α for three of the subscales of the dimension of Physical Health (Physical Functioning [PF] = 0.75, Role-Physical [RP] = 0.87, Bodily Pain [BP] = 0.81) and only moderate in one (General-Health [GH] = 0.61). High Cronbach’s α were obtained in two of the Mental Health dimensions’ subscales (Mental Health [MH] = 0.79, RoleEmotional [RE] = 0.94), and one low (Social Functioning [SF] = 0.44) and one negative (Vitality [VT] = -0.43) coefficient. Factorial structure validity showed that the instrument does not maintain its original structure, indicating a need for validating the SF-36 instrument before being used to measure retirees in Costa Rica.
