Resumen
Objetivo: Construir y validar una escala para la
evaluación del funcionamiento familiar en adolescentes
(EFFA). Método: La muestra fue de 657 adolescentes
entre 14 y 18 años con una media de 16,55±1,4; 299
eran hombres (45,5 %) y 358 (54,5 %) mujeres. Se
aplicó una escala tipo Likert de 26 ítems que evalúa
cinco dimensiones del funcionamiento familiar. Se
realizó análisis factorial confirmatorio con el uso
del programa estadístico Lisrel 8.0. Resultados:
La consistencia interna total del instrumento fue de
0,849, y las escalas mostraron alfas de Cronbach
entre 0,698 y 0,873. Las correlaciones de los ítems
con las dimensiones fluctuaron entre 0,192** y
0,859**. Se hallaron correlaciones significativamente
altas entre las subescalas (0,400** a 0,960**). Se
detectaron correlaciones significativas con otras
medidas vinculadas con las dimensiones propuestas.
Conclusión: El EFFA mostró indicadores adecuados
de validez y confiabilidad para la evaluación del
funcionamiento familiar en adolescentes colombianos.
Objective: Construct and validate an evaluation scale of family functioning in adolescents (EFFA). Method: The sample was 657 adolescents between 14 and 18 years old with an age mean of 16.55 ± 1.4; 26-item Likert-type scale was applied to evaluate five dimensions of family functioning. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed using the Lisrel 8.0 statistical program. Results: The total internal consistency of the instrument was 0.849, and the scales showed a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient between 0.698 and 0.873. The items’ correlations with the dimensions fluctuated between 0.192 ** and 0.859 **. Significant high correlations were found between the subscales (0.400 ** to 0.960 **). Significant correlations with other measures related to the proposed dimensions were detected. Conclusion: The EFFA showed adequate indicators of validity and reliability for the evaluation of family functioning in Colombian adolescents.
