Resumen

Antecedentes: la autoeficacia ha sido utilizada para explicar y predecir las conductas de salud. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la consistencia interna, componentes y la validez convergente de la escala general de Autoeficacia (GSE) en pacientes psiquiátricos. Método: una muestra de conveniencia de 966 pacientes psiquiátricos ambulatorios consecutivos cumplimentó, a lo largo del año 2014, las versiones en español de la GSE, del Formulario C de la escala Multidimensional de Locus de Control de Salud, la escala de Reactancia Psicológica de Hong, el Inventario de Actitudes hacia la Medicación, y un cuestionario con variables socio-demográficas y clínicas. Resultados: la consistencia interna de la escala GSE fue alta. El análisis de componentes principales ofreció una solución de un único componente, explicando más del 50% de la varianza común. Se registraron relaciones significativas con el locus de control de salud, las actitudes hacia la medicación, la edad y la reactancia psicológica afectiva, pero no con otras variables socio-demográficas o clínicas estudiadas. Conclusiones: la estructura de la escala general de auto-eficacia es unidimensional, homogénea y se relaciona positivamente con los constructos examinados. La escala es una medida fiable y válida en la atención ambulatoria psiquiátrica.
