dc.description.en-US.fl_txt_mv The present study aims to study the factor structure, reliability and validity of the Mental Health Continuum (MHC-SF) of Keyes (2009) in the Ecuadorian context. The scale was applied to two samples, one of 100 people that worked as a pilot and another of 550 people resident in the city of Cuenca-Ecuador, who also were applied an adaptation of the PERMA Profile of Butler and Kern (2016) to verify the convergent and discriminant validity. It was observed that the application in this population presents adequate levels of adjustment and high internal consistency (α=.91) and an adequate general adjustment of the structure of three factors: psychological well-being, social welfare and emotional well-being proposed by the author whose main fit values are RMSEA= .045, CFI= .996, χ2(52)= 109.048 (p= .000), GFI= .997 y TLI= 0.993. The bifactor model presents good values as well: RMSEA=.042, CFI= .996, χ2(52) = 103.040 (p= .000), GFI= .997, TLI= 0.993. We conclude that the Spanish version of MHC-SF (Keyes, 2009) and the bifactor model are appropriate tools to measure mental health in the Ecuadorian context.

Se observó que la aplicación en esta población presenta adecuados niveles de ajuste y alta consistencia interna (α= .91) y un ajuste general adecuado de la estructura de tres factores: bienestar psicológico, bienestar social, bienestar emocional propuestos por el autor, dando valores de RMSEA= .045, CFI= .996, χ2(52)= 109.048 (p= .000), GFI= .997 y TLI= 0.993. El modelo bifactorial presenta valores de RMSEA= .042, CFI= .996, χ2 (52)= 103.040 (p= .000), GFI= .997, TLI= 0.993. Se concluye que la versión en español de MHC-SF (Keyes, 2009) y la versión bifactorial son herramientas apropiadas para medir la salud mental en el contexto ecuatoriano.
