We aimed to validate a Brazilian Portuguese version of the Obsession with COVID-19 Scale (BP-OCS) using a large sample of university students in Brazil ( = 1454). The scale showed solid psychometric characteristics in terms of internal consistency ( = .78), test-retest reliability (ICC = .86), factorial validity (PAF and CFA support), and construct validity. Additionally, BP-OCS scores were found to be higher among females, participants with diagnosed depression, anxiety, and self-reported anxiety. These findings suggest that the BP-OCS is a reliable and valid measure of persistent and disturbed thinking about COVID-19 for Brazilian university students.
我们旨在使用巴西大学生的大样本(n = 1454)来验证巴西葡萄牙语版的新冠病毒痴迷量表(BP-OCS)。该量表在内部一致性(α = 0.78)、重测信度(ICC = 0.86)、因子效度(PAF和CFA支持)和结构效度方面显示出可靠的心理测量特征。此外,发现女性、被诊断患有抑郁症、焦虑症和自我报告有焦虑症的参与者的BP-OCS得分更高。这些发现表明,BP-OCS是一种可靠且有效的测量工具,可用于评估巴西大学生对新冠病毒的持续且紊乱的思维。
