dc.description.en-US.fl_txt_mv The purpose of this study is the linguistic adaptation and validation of the Hopkins Symptom Checklist for adolescents (Bean et al., 2007), a self-administered brief screening instrument, widely used for the detection of internalizing and externalizing problems. Following its linguistic adaptation – involving Uruguayan professionals and adolescents - the instrument was administered in a convenience sample of 529 adolescents aged 12 to 16 years, students of three catholic private secondary schools in Montevideo, of medium high (46,1%) and medium low (53,9%) socioeconomic level. We also administered the IES-R (Weiss & Marmar, 1997), BIEPS-J (Casullo, 2002) and a sociodemographic questionnaire.The results of the principal component analysis support the two factor model established in previous studies. Chronbach alpha values were satisfactory (.90 for the total scale and .90 and .75 for the subscales) comparable to those established in previous studies. Analysis confirmed the positive correlation between the HSCL-A scores and posttraumatic stress symptoms, its inversed correlation with psychological wellbeing, and its capacity to distinguish between victims and witnesses of violence, supporting convergent validity of the instrument.We conclude that the HSCL-A may be considered as a solid and promising instrument for evaluation internalizing and externalizing problems in Uruguayan adolescents.
dc.description.es-ES.fl_txt_mv Este estudio tiene como objetivo realizar la adaptación lingüística y validación del Hopkins Symptom Checklist para Adolescentes (Bean et al., 2007), un instrumento de autoinforme breve, ampliamente usado en la detección de problemas internalizantes y externalizantes en adolescentes expuestos a situaciones de violencia. Tras la adaptación ligüística, involucrando a profesionales y adolescentes uruguayos, se administró el instrumento en una muestra de conveniencia compuesta por 529 adolescentes entre 12 y 16 años, alumnos de tres colegios privados católicos montevideanos de nivel socioeconómico medio-alto (46,1%) y medio-bajo (53,9%). También se aplicaron el IES-R (Weiss & Marmar, 1997), BIEPS-J (Casullo, 2002) y cuestionario sociodemográfico. Los resultados del análisis de componentes principales respaldan al modelo de dos factores establecido en estudios previos. Se encontraron valores de Alpha de Chronbach satisfactorios (.90 para la escala total; .90 y .75 para las subescalas) comparables con los establecidos anteriormente. Se confirma la correlación positiva del HSCL-A con síntomas de estrés postraumático, su relación inversa con bienestar psicológico, y su capacidad para diferenciar entre víctimas y testigos de violencia, apoyando la validez convergente del instrumento. Concluimos el HSCL-A puede ser considerado como un instrumento sólido y prometedor para la evaluación de problemas internalizantes y externalizantes en adolescentes uruguayos.
