description | The objective of this work is to present the validation of an instrument to measure the psychological adaptation in parents to a disease or genetic risk in their children: Psychological Adaptation Scale to Genetic Counseling. A methodological study was carried out, with a sample of 203 cases. Construct validity was studied by a parallel analysis and an exploratory factor analysis. The significance of the Bartlett sphericity test (χ2 (105) = 1928.4; p < .001) was significant and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) sample adequacy index indicated an adequacy of .87. A single factor was obtained that explained 45% of the variance. Reliability was studied using the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, finding a high value of internal consistency α = .915. The present study offers the first valid and reliable instrument in Spanish to measure, in parents, their psychological adaptation to a disease or genetic risk in their children. |

El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar la validación de un instrumento para medir en los padres la adaptación psicológica a una enfermedad o riesgo genético en sus hijos: Escala de Adaptación Psicológica al Asesoramiento Genético (EAP-AG). Se realizó un estudio metodológico, con una muestra de 203 casos. La validez de constructo fue estudiada mediante un análisis paralelo y un análisis factorial exploratorio. La significación del test de esfericidad de Bartlett (χ2 (105) = 1928.4; p < .001) fue significativa y el índice de adecuación muestral Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) indicó una adecuación de .87. Se obtuvo un único factor que explicó el 45% de la varianza. La confiabilidad fue estudiada mediante el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach y se encontró un valor alto de consistencia interna α = .915. El presente estudio ofrece el primer instrumento en español válido y confiable para medir en los padres la adaptación psicológica a la enfermedad o riesgo genético en sus hijos.
