RESUMEN
ResumenEl 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 SF-36 antes de utilizarlo en la población de personas jubiladas en Costa Rica.
ABSTRACT
AbstractThe 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 SF-36 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, Role-Emotional [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.
