    Asertividad : Una habilidad social necesaria en los profesionales de enfermería y fisioterapia
    (2011) Cañón Montañez, Wilson; Rodríguez Acelas, Alba Luz
    Os profissionais da saúde estão constantemente envolvidos com outras pessoas e algumas vezes estas relações produzem situações conflitivas e angustiantes. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a assertividade dos acadêmicos de enfermagem e fisioterapia. É um estudo transversal. 225 estudantes foram incluídos. O instrumento utilizado foi o Inventário de Assertividade Rathus. Os resultados mostram que a idade é um elemento essencial para que as pessoas sejam assertivas, com o aumento da idade, aumenta a assertividade indireta em cada ano (0,04) e diminui a não-assertividade (p=0.004). Isso leva à conclusão de que as competências de assertividade relacional deve ser visto como uma exigência na formação do profissional de enfermagem e fisioterapia, cuja correta aplicação permite uma realização maior e mais completa dos cuidados e dos serviços prestados, proporcionando reconhecimento profissional e pessoal.

    Factorial structure of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 as a depression screening instrument for university students in Cartagena, Colombia
    (2018-11) Cassiani Miranda, Carlos Arturo; Scoppetta, Orlando
    Previous studies on the factorial structure of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) have yielded divergent results, and there is no consensus on which factorial structure provides a more adequate fit. In Colombia, no precise method to estimate the factorial structure of the PHQ-9 has been used. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the factorial structure of the PHQ-9 as a depression screening tool in university students of Colombia from a model of two factors previously studied. The PHQ-9 was applied to 550 health science university students. A factorial confirmatory analysis was carried out using a structural equations model and invariance analysis. The model with one somatic factor and one non-somatic factor, achieved a better fit with invariance by gender. The PHQ-9 used as a depression screening tool used in university students in Cartagena revealed two factors, one somatic and one non-somatic with measurement invariance by gender.

    Psychometric performance of the brief Francis scale of attitude towards Christianity (Francis-4) in Mexican university students
    (2021-05-04) Cassiani-Miranda, Carlos Arturo; Campo-Arias, Adalberto; Alvarez-Solorza, Isabel; Neurociencias
    The brief Francis scale of attitude towards Christianity (Francis-4) psychometric performance in Mexico is unknown. The objective was to evaluate the dimensionality, homogeneity, gender differential item functioning (DIF), and nomological validity of Francis-4. 1,108 university students between 18 and 60 years of age were evaluated; 80.4% were women (n = 891). CFA was performed with the following fit indicators: chi-square, RMSEA, CFI, TLI, and McDonald’s omega were calculated. For nomological validity, the mean and standard deviation according to gender were compared with Student’s t-test. Gender DIF was quantified with Kendall’s tau-b. The CFA revealed the following goodness-of-fit coefficients: chi-square = 25.45, df = 2, p = .001, RMSEA = .10, 90% CI .07 – .14, CFI = .99, TLI = .99, and SRMR = .01. Cronbach’s alpha of .97 and McDonald’s omega were .97. Scores were significantly higher in women than in men (M = 8.9, SD = 5.4 versus M = 7.6, t = 3.15, p = .002). Kendall’s tau ranged from .07 to .09 indicating absence of gender DIF. Francis-4 is a unidimensional instrument with nomological validity, high internal consistency, and absence of gender DIF. It is recommended to evaluate its performance in other populations.
