This study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Brief-COPE Inventory and to determine its concurrent validity by examining its association with perceived stress among Peruvian nurses.
A psychometric study was conducted with 434 Peruvian nurses to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brief-COPE Inventory through confirmatory factor analysis. Three stepwise variable selection regression models were implemented.
The three-factor model of the Brief-COPE Inventory demonstrated adequate fit indices (root mean square error of approximation = 0.052, standardized root mean square residual = 0.068, and both the comparative fit index and the Tucker-Lewis index = 0.95). Additionally, the factors were significantly correlated ( < 0.001), and the reliability was adequate (ω = 0.90). Nurses reported a medium level of perceived stress, with associated factors including having received stress management training, fear of COVID-19, and problem-focused coping strategies ( < 0.05).
This study confirms that the Brief-COPE Inventory is a valid tool for measuring coping strategies among Peruvian nurses due to its good model fit, excellent reliability, and concurrent validity with perceived stress. However, further research is needed to assess its validity in the specific areas of performance perceived by nursing professionals.
本研究旨在分析简易应对方式问卷（Brief-COPE Inventory）的心理测量特性，并通过研究其与秘鲁护士感知压力之间的关联来确定其同时效度。
对434名秘鲁护士进行了一项心理测量研究，通过验证性因素分析来评估简易应对方式问卷的心理测量特性。实施了三个逐步变量选择回归模型。
简易应对方式问卷的三因素模型显示出适当的拟合指数（近似均方根误差=0.052，标准化均方根残差=0.068，比较拟合指数和塔克-刘易斯指数均=0.95）。此外，各因素之间存在显著相关性（<0.001），且信度良好（ω=0.90）。护士报告的感知压力水平为中等，相关因素包括接受过压力管理培训、对新冠病毒病的恐惧以及以问题为中心的应对策略（<0.05）。
本研究证实，简易应对方式问卷因其良好的模型拟合、出色的信度以及与感知压力的同时效度，是测量秘鲁护士应对策略的有效工具。然而，需要进一步研究以评估其在护理专业人员所感知的特定绩效领域的效度。
