Encuesta de salud SF-36: Validación en tres contextos culturales de México

Abstract

This research was oriented to the validation of the Health Survey SF-36 in three socio-cultural contexts in Mexico (Mexico City, Pachuca, Hidalgo & Gómez Palacio, Durango). The findings showed -on one hand- similarities among the three cities or between two of them in some of the factors obtained, and we observed algo, some particular differences in those environments. On the other hand, the obtained factors in the samples of this study displayed construct validity with the original version applied to southern mexican sample (Zúñiga et al., 1999) and their alpha realiability coeficients were similar to the applications made in Spanish samples.
