Abstract(s)
As famílias em risco psicossocial estão muitas vezes expostas a situações de risco, podendo aumentar os níveis de stresse e, consequentemente, adotar estratégias de enfrentamento desajustadas ou inadequadas. Assim, dispor de instrumentos validados e adaptados a este grupo que avaliem as estratégias e estilos de enfrentamento (coping), é de suma importância tanto para avaliar o contexto familiar como para implementar programas de intervenção.
A presente investigação teve como objetivo analisar as características psicométricas, a estrutura fatorial do instrumento Brief COPE e a validade de critério com outras medidas do funcionamento familiar (FACES, PSI-SF) numa amostra constituída por 116 pais de crianças com idades compreendidas entre os 0 e os 13 anos, residentes no Algarve.
Para validar a estrutura fatorial do Brief COPE foi utilizada a Análise Fatorial Confirmatória (AFC), encontrando um modelo ajustado composto por uma solução final de 14 fatores com um total de 28 itens, semelhante à proposta pelos autores da escala.
Os resultados sugerem que a escala Brief COPE possui boas capacidades psicométricas, com níveis de consistência interna e fiabilidade satisfatórios, sendo válido para ser utilizado com as famílias em risco psicossocial.
Families at psychosocial risk are often exposed to situations, which can increase stress levels and, consequently, adopt inadequate coping strategies. Thus, having instruments validated and adapted to this group that evaluate coping strategies and styles is of paramount importance both to evaluate the family context and to implement intervention programs. The present investigation aimed to analyze the psychometric characteristics, the factorial structure of the Brief COPE instrument and the criterion validity with other measures of family functioning (FACES, PSI-SF) in a sample consisting of 116 parents of children aged between 0 and 13 years, living in the Algarve. In order to validate the factorial structure of the Brief COPE, a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used, finding an adjusted model composed of a final factorial solution of 14 factors with a total of 28 items, similar to that proposed by the authors of the scale. The results suggest that the Brief COPE scale has good psychometric characteristics, with satisfactory levels of internal consistency and reliability, being valid for use with families at psychosocial risk.
