Validación psicométrica de la escala del impacto de evento

The objective of the research was to validate the “Event Impact” instrument. It was quantitative in nature, non-experimental and cross-sectional in design. The sample was probabilistic obtained by sample calculation was 361 health professionals, who worked in person during the pandemic, who participated on a voluntary basis. After the psychometric analysis such as total item correlation, component factor analysis with orthogonal rotation and Cronbach’s Alpha, the scale was composed of 22 items distributed in two dimensions: intrusion and avoidance. It was concluded that a valid scale was obtained to evaluate the impact of the event in the sample studied.
