The Short Health Anxiety Inventory is a commonly used tool for assessing health anxiety, but its psychometric properties and internal structure have not been examined in a Latin American Spanish-speaking population. This study aimed to establish the psychometric properties among Colombian university students. Method. The goodness of fit of four latent structure models of the Short Health Anxiety Inventory was tested using confirmatory factor analysis in a sample of 1004 Colombian university students. Results. The results show that the original model's structure does not fit well (CFI = .808; RMSEA = .074), and the reliability was .796 and .703 for the original two variables. Conclusions. The findings do not support the utilization of the Colombian version of the Short Health Anxiety Inventory by researchers and clinicians among Colombian university students. Introducción. El Short Health Anxiety Inventory es una herramienta común para evaluar la ansiedad relacionada con la salud, pero sus propiedades psicométricas y estructura interna no han sido evaluadas en una población latinoamericana de habla hispana. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo establecer las propiedades psicométricas en estudiantes universitarios colombianos. Método. Se evaluó la bondad de ajuste de cuatro modelos de estructura latente del Short Health Anxiety Inventory, mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio, en una muestra de 1004 estudiantes universitarios colombianos. Resultados. La estructura no se ajusta al modelo original (CFI = .808; RMSEA = .074) y la confiabilidad fue de .796 y .703 para las dos variables originales. Conclusiones. Los resultados no respaldan el uso de la versión colombiana del Short Health Anxiety Inventory entre estudiantes universitarios colombianos, tanto para investigadores como para clínicos. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
