Objetivo: determinar la validez y la consistencia interna del instrumento “Medición de la autoeficacia percibida en apnea del sueño” - SEMSA, versión en español, diseñado por Weaver et al. Materiales y métodos: estudio de tipo descriptivo metodológico; se determinó la validez facial y de contenido con panel de expertos y un literato bilingüe. La muestra de la validez de constructo y consistencia interna fue de 151 pacientes con síndrome de apnea hipopnea del sueño que usaron el tratamiento de presión positiva continua en la vía aérea (CPAP). Resultados: la validez facial mostró un índice de aceptabilidad superior en las tres categorías evaluadas. En la validez de contenido, 23 ítems alcanzaron un nivel de aceptabilidad satisfactorio y los 4 ítems restantes fueron susceptibles de modificación. En la validez de constructo, el análisis factorial exploratorio determinó tres factores con una varianza total explicada de 52,2 %. La consistencia interna por el alfa de Cronbach fue 0,90 para la escala total y para cada dimensión mayor de 0,84. Discusión: la varianza total explicada comparándola con el estudio original fue mayor y el alfa de Cronbach fue similar tanto en la escala total como dimensional. Conclusión: el instrumento Self Efficacy Measure Sleep Apnea, válido y homogéneo en el contexto urbano colombiano, es una herramienta relevante y objetiva acerca de las perspectivas del paciente con síndrome de apnea hipopnea del sueño sobre los riesgos asociados, el beneficio del tratamiento y el cumplimiento en el uso de presión positiva (CPAP), a pesar de las barreras percibidas.

BACKGROUND: Self-efficacy is a key psychosocial factor influencing the outcome of vocational rehabilitation programs. There is lack of a validated job-seeking self-efficacy measure for Chinese persons with disabilities. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to validate the Chinese version of the Job-Seeking Self-Efficacy Scale (C-JSS) developed by Barlow, Wright, and Cullen (2002) and to examine its psychometric properties using a Chinese sample of persons with disabilities. METHODS: JSS was first translated into Chinese and reviewed by vocational rehabilitation practitioners and persons with disabilities. Ninety-seven Chinese participants with disabilities were recruited to fill in the questionnaire of JSS and other questions. The internal consistency, structural and coverage validities of C-JSS were evaluated. RESULTS: C-JSS showed a high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.95) and unidimensional factorial structure. For concurrent validity, there were significant correlations between C-JSS with the score of WHODAS 2.0 (p = 0.001), educational level (p <  0.001), job-seeking behavior (p = 0.031), and self-reported professional skills (p = 0.008). CONCLUSION: The results of this study provide preliminary evidence that C-JSS is a reliable and valid instrument to measure the self-efficacy of job-seeking behavior among a Chinese sample of persons with disabilities.

In science education, dissections of animals are an integral part of teaching, but they often evoke negative emotions. We aimed at reducing negative emotions (anxiety, negative affect [NA]) and increasing positive affect (PA) and self-efficacy by an experimental intervention using a predissection video to instruct students about fish dissection. We compared this treatment with another group that watched a life history video about the fish. The participants were 135 students studying to become biology teachers. Seventy received the treatment with the dissection video, and 65 viewed the life history video. We applied a pre/posttest treatment-comparison design and used the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), the State–Trait–Anxiety Inventory for State (STAI-S), and a self-efficacy measure three times: before the lesson (pretest), after the film treatment (posttest 1), and after the dissection (posttest 2). The dissection film group scored higher in PA, NA, and state anxiety (STAI-S) after the dissection video treatment and higher in self-efficacy after the dissection. The life history group showed no differences between the pretest and posttest 1. The dissection film has clear benefits—increasing PA and self-efficacy—that come at the cost of higher NA and higher STAI-S.
