La salud mental positiva es un constructo complejo que está relacionado con el funcionamiento óptimo de la persona. Comprende un conjunto de cualidades orientadas al desarrollo del potencial del individuo. La Escala de Salud Mental Positiva es uno de los instrumentos más utilizados para evaluarlo, sin embargo, los antecedentes señalan inconsistencias respecto a su estructura interna. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Salud Mental Positiva en Arequipa-Perú. Participaron 3933 personas, 50.3% fueron mujeres y 49.7% fueron varones, incluyendo desde adolescentes hasta adultos mayores. La evaluación mediante AFC de la estructura original evidenció índices de ajuste pobres, por lo que se tuvo que evaluar la dimensionalidad y proponer una nueva estructura. Para lo cual, se dividió a la muestra (n1 = 1966 y n2 = 1967). En la primera, se aplicó un AFE y en la segunda se valida mediante un AFC. Se hallaron tres factores y se concluye que tiene un buen ajuste (χ2(431) = 2473.378; CFI = .959; TLI = .956, RMSEA = .049; SRMR = .051). La consistencia interna mostró valores mayores a .81. Finalmente, se evaluó la equivalencia de la medición según el sexo, hallando que el instrumento presenta invarianza de la medición. Positive mental health is a complex construct that is related to the optimal functioning of the person. It comprises a set of qualities aimed at the development of the individual's potential. The Positive Mental Health Scale is one of the most used instruments to evaluate it, however, the antecedents indicate inconsistencies regarding its internal structure. The objective of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Positive Mental Health Scale in Arequipa-Peru. 3,933 people participated, 50.3% were women and 49.7% were men, including from adolescents to the elderly. The evaluation by CFA of the original structure showed poor fit indices, so the dimensionality had to be evaluated and a new structure had to be proposed. For which the sample is divided (n1 = 1,966 and n2 = 1,967). In the first, an EFA was applied and in the second, it is validated by means of a CFA. Three factors were found and it is concluded that it has a good fit (χ2 (431) = 2,473.378; CFI = .959; TLI = .956, RMSEA = .049; SRMR = .051). The internal consistency showed values ​​greater than .81. Finally, the equivalence of the measurement according to sex was evaluated, finding that the instrument presents measurement invariance.

Abstract. Background: The PMH-scale is a person-centered, brief and psychometrically sound scale measuring positive mental health. Considering the practicality of the scale and the good psychometric properties reported previously, the adaptation of the PMH-scale to Turkish may provide professionals and researchers a beneficial tool to assess well-being. Aims: This study was designed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Positive Mental Health Scale among Turkish university students by utilizing a cross-sectional correlational survey model. Method: For the adaptation of the scale, different validity and reliability tests were performed. Confirmatory factor analysis was run for construct validity. Convergent validity was assessed by examining relations of the scale with Life Orientation Test, Short Depression-Happiness Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, and General Self-Efficacy Scale. Reliability was assessed with internal consistency and composite reliability. Measurement invariance across genders was tested through Structural Equation Modelling. Results: Validity and reliability analyses provided satisfactory results. Results of confirmatory factor analysis revealed that current data fit the original unidimensional model. Besides, measurement invariance analysis provided validity evidence in terms of gender invariance. Limitations: Findings of the present study were limited to university students, most of whom were female. Conclusion: In conclusion, the Turkish Positive Mental Health Scale was found to be valid and reliable in the sample of university students.

ABSTRACT COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease caused by the new betacoronavirus of severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The high mortality of the disease occurs in a small portion of the infected population, especially in elderly individuals. The main measure adopted in Brazil to contain the virus is social isolation and this can have an impact on the mental health of the elderly population. This study aims to provide an educational intervention, understanding the repercussions that the COVID-19 pandemic has on the routine of the elderly. This is a study carried out through documentary analysis, based on bibliographic reviews, national and international, of specialists in the subject. It was found that mandatory social isolation causes uncertainties, insecurity, fear, and sometimes low self-esteem, which can lead to an emotional imbalance during this period of the pandemic of the new coronavirus, causing the elderly to become more fragile. Therefore, it is important to give special attention to this group based on specific health plans during this period together with the relatives of these elderly, which will enable better results in coping with COVID-19 in this group, besides preventing a spike in the incidence of mental health-related diseases.   RESUMEN La COVID-19 es una enfermedad altamente contagiosa causada por el nuevo betacoronavirus del síndrome respiratorio agudo severo 2 (SARS-CoV-2). La elevada mortalidad de la enfermedad se produce en una pequeña parte de la población infectada, especialmente en individuos de edad avanzada. La principal medida adoptada en Brasil para contener el virus es el aislamiento social y esto puede tener un impacto en la salud mental de la población anciana. Este estudio tiene como objetivo proporcionar una intervención educativa, entendiendo las repercusiones que la pandemia de COVID-19 tiene en la rutina de los ancianos. Se trata de un estudio realizado a través de un análisis documental, basado en revisiones bibliográficas, nacionales e internacionales, de especialistas en el tema. Se constató que el aislamiento social obligatorio provoca incertidumbres, inseguridad, miedo y, a veces, baja autoestima, lo que puede llevar a un desequilibrio emocional durante este período de la pandemia del nuevo coronavirus, provocando la fragilidad de los ancianos. Por lo tanto, es importante dar una atención especial a este grupo en base a planes de salud específicos durante este período junto con los familiares de estos ancianos, lo que permitirá obtener mejores resultados en el afrontamiento de la COVID-19 en este grupo, además de evitar un repunte en la incidencia de enfermedades relacionadas con la salud mental.

Mental Health Scale

The present study examines the psychometric properties of the mental health scale for children used in the 2015 Colombian Mental Health Survey. To do so, a nationally representative sample of 2,727 children is used Mage=8.99; range=7-11, with reports from their main caregivers regarding 26 mental health problem symptoms taken from the Reporting Questionnaire for Children (RQC), Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), and the Brief Screening and Diagnostic Questionnaire (CBTD). Classical test theory and factor analysis were conducted to analyze the classical location and information of each item, along with the dimensionality, reliability, and convergent validity of the scale. Item Response Theory (IRT) was used in order to estimate theoretically invariant item parameters for location and information. Findings reveal that the mental health scale for children has adequate psychometric properties for its use in Colombia. Furthermore, irt analyses reveals a set of items that maximize information and that may be used in future administrations when more efficiency is warranted.
