Resumen
Objetivo: En el contexto de la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2, surgieron preocupaciones sobre cómo evaluar adecuadamente su impacto en el bienestar de la población. El motivo principal de este artículo es presentar los resultados preliminares de las propiedades psicométricas de las medidas creadas para evaluar dicho impacto. Método: Creamos y adaptamos varios instrumentos de evaluación, y los validamos con una muestra de 699 adultos (+18), habitantes de Costa Rica, que voluntariamente decidieron llenar un cuestionario en línea sobre las consecuencias de la pandemia en la salud mental durante septiembre de 2020. Este estudio se considera de tipo cuantitativo. Resultados: Los resultados proporcionaron evidencia de validez y confiabilidad para las nuevas escalas desarrolladas. Además, se muestran una correlación negativa entre el afrontamiento resiliente y el estrés agudo, lo que podría considerarse evidencia de validez discriminante. Conclusiones: En este orden, los instrumentos muestran propiedades psicométricas aceptables para la muestra evaluada. Se necesitan investigaciones futuras para recopilar más evidencia de confiabilidad y validez en muestras probabilísticas.
