Solastalgia is a recent concept that refers to disruptive psychological responses in people exposed to environmental degradation. The aim of this study was to determine the number of dimensions solastalgia has using a sample of people exposed to the effects of climate change in the coastal dry land of Maule region, Chile. In order to achieve this, a Scale Of Solastalgia (SOS) was designed and then validated, by means of applying it to 223 inhabitants at the municipalities of Pencahue ( = 105) and Curepto ( = 118), who were also evaluated by the Short Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Rating Interview (SPRINT-E). Using robust validation methods (Parallel factor analysis and Omega), two dimensions were obtained for solastalgia: and . Both correlate with the SPRINT-E scale (r = 0.150, < 0.01 and r = 0.359, < 0.01, respectively) and have 58% sensitivity and 67% specificity to detect cases of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Like PTSD, solastalgia is related to psychopathologies expected after disasters and also presents a spatial pattern where the concentration of positive cases occurs in places of greater exposure to environmental change or degradation.
生态忧伤是一个新兴概念，指的是人们在面对环境恶化时所产生的破坏性心理反应。本研究旨在通过对智利马乌莱地区沿海旱地中受到气候变化影响的人群进行样本调查，确定生态忧伤的维度数量。为此，设计了生态忧伤量表（SOS），并通过对彭卡乌和库里科两个市镇的 223 名居民（彭卡乌 105 人，库里科 118 人）进行评估，同时采用创伤后应激障碍简短评定量表（SPRINT-E）进行验证。采用稳健的验证方法（平行因子分析和 Omega），得到了生态忧伤的两个维度： 和 。这两个维度都与 SPRINT-E 量表相关（r = 0.150， < 0.01；r = 0.359， < 0.01），对创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的检出率分别为 58%和 67%。与 PTSD 一样，生态忧伤与灾难后预期出现的精神病理学有关，并且呈现出一种空间模式，即阳性病例集中在环境变化或退化程度较高的地方。
