Electronic cigarettes had become a public health concern, generating the need of having standardized instruments to evaluate the consequences of their use.
The goal of this study was to adapt and evaluate the validity and reliability of the Electronic Cigarette Dependence Index (ECDI) to a Colombian sample.
In this instrumental quantitative research, the instrument was adapted to the Spanish language, evaluated by expert judges and contested by 128 adult regular electronic cigarettes users.
The results suggest a single factor structure with reliable goodness of fit measures and values of internal consistency between acceptable and adequate.
These results suggest the ECDI as a valid and reliable index to be used in Colombian samples.
电子烟已成为一个公共卫生问题,因此需要有标准化工具来评估使用电子烟的后果。
本研究的目的是使电子烟依赖指数(ECDI)适用于哥伦比亚样本,并评估其有效性和可靠性。
在这项工具性定量研究中,该工具被改编为西班牙语,由专家评委进行评估,并由128名成年电子烟经常使用者进行检验。
结果表明该工具具有单一因素结构,拟合优度测量可靠,内部一致性值在可接受和充分之间。
这些结果表明ECDI是可用于哥伦比亚样本的有效且可靠的指数。
