Abstract
MUNOZ-DEL CARPIO-TOIA, Agueda; RAMOS-VARGAS, Luis Fernando; AMES-GUERRERO, Rita Judith and YULI-POSADAS, Ricardo Ángel. Psychosocial risks in Peruvian health personnel: analysis of psychometric properties of ISTAS 21 questionnaire. Index Enferm [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.2, pp.115-119. Epub Nov 21, 2022. ISSN 1699-5988.
Objective:
To analyze the psychometric properties of the ISTAS 21 questionnaire to assess psychosocial risks in hospital and primary health care personnel who provide care to Covid-19 patients.
Methodology:
the study has a descriptive, cross-sectional design, in which the psychometric properties of the ISTAS 21 questionnaire to assess psychosocial risks in health personnel were analyzed.
Results:
231 professionals (M=34.9, SD=9.36 years) from hospitals and primary care services were evaluated. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) evidences poor fit for the 5-factor model of the original structure (RMSEA = .120, CFI = .660, TLI = .597, and SRMR = .140), so the structure is evaluated with an AFE, which explains 50% of the variance and has 5 factors, with adequate internal consistency.
Conclusions:
It is concluded that the ISTAS 21 has evidence of validity and adequate internal consistency; and can be used to identify psychosocial risks in Peruvian health personnel who care for Covid-19 patients.
