Propiedades psicométricas del Children Eating Behavior Questionnaire en niños mexicanos menores de 3 años / Psychometric properties of the Children's Eating Behavior Questionnaire in Mexican children under 3 years of age

Resumen Objetivo: México es uno de los países con mayor prevalencia de obesidad infantil a nivel mundial. Se requieren de instrumentos de valoración integrales válidos para el abordaje del problema. El Children Eating Behavior Questionnaire. (CEBQ) permite evaluar las conductas alimentarias de los niños relacionadas con el riesgo de obesidad, por lo que se planteó el siguiente objetivo evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión original del CEBQ en niños mexicanos de 1 a 3 años. Material y Métodos: 201 madres residentes del noreste de México completaron el CEBQ en centros de salud comunitarios. Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) a través de componentes principales y fiabilidad (consistencia interna) con alfa de Cronbach (α). Resultados: Se identificó un modelo con siete factores y 24 ítems, los índices de bondad de ajuste del modelo propuesto fueron adecuados: índice de ajuste comparativo (CFI= 0.90), y error cuadrático medio de aproximación (RMSEA= 0.06). Los factores que integran el CEBQ tienen aceptable confiabilidad internaα > 0.70. Conclusión: El CEBQ en niños mexicanos de 1 a 3 años tiene propiedades psicométricas que lo hace una medida confiable y válida para evaluar comportamientos alimentarios relacionados con el riesgo de obesidad. Se recomienda contrastar este modelo en poblaciones similares.

Abstract Objective: Mexico is one of the countries with the highest prevalence of childhood obesity worldwide. Valid comprehensive assessment instruments are required to address the problem. The Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire(CEBQ) allows the assessment of children's eating behaviors related to obesity risk, so the following objective was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the original version of the CEBQ in Mexican children aged 1 to 3 years. Material and Methods: 201 mothers residing in northeastern Mexico completed the CEBQ in community health centers. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed through principal components and reliability (internal consistency) with Cronbach's alpha (α). Results: A model with seven factors and 24 items was identified, the goodness-of-fit indices of the proposed model were adequate: comparative fit index (CFI=0.90), and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA= 0.06). The factors that make up the CEBQ have acceptable internal reliability α > 0.70. Conclusion: The CEBQ in Mexican children aged 1 to 3 years has psychometric properties that make it a reliable and valid measure to assess eating behaviors related to obesity risk. It is recommended to contrast this model in similar populations.

Nursing Staff Mortality During the Covid-19 Pandemic, Scoping Review.

Introduction: In a pandemic, the risk of infection and mortality for nurses can increase substantially. This study analyzes the information reported on the mortality of nursing personnel from different countries due to COVID-19. Methods: We performed a scoping review by searching information available in PubMed, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases using concepts related to nursing, mortality, COVID-19, etc. The studies were searched from September 1 to October 30, 2021. This review included 12 articles were selected among 73 identified for the scope search because they included nurses. Results: Nursing personnel presented a high mortality rate after physicians and health personnel. The average age of the deceased nurses was 43 years, being higher in men than in women. Higher mortality rates were reported in services attending COVID-19, nursing homes, and psychiatric centers. Conclusion: Contagion and deaths are attributed to lack of planning and inadequate personal protective equipment.
