Abstract
El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicomé-
tricas del Short LOI-CV en una muestra española comunitaria. Los partici-
pantes fueron 914 niños y adolescentes con edad media de 13.01 años (va-
rones = 51.3%). El AFE mostró un modelo de tres factores compuesto por
los dominios Obsesiones, Compulsiones y Limpieza. Tanto la puntuación
total como las subescalas mostraron una adecuada consistencia interna. La
versión española mostró buena fiabilidad test-retest y moderada validez
convergente y discriminante. Los participantes más jóvenes (8 a 10 años)
obtuvieron medias más altas que la escala Total y distintas subescalas que
los mayores (grupo de 11-13 y de 14-18 años). Se encontraron también di-
ferencias significativas respecto al sexo, siendo los varones los que mayores
medias mostraron en la escala de compulsiones. Pese a que es necesaria
más investigación, estos resultados sugirieron que la versión en español del
Short LOI-CV mostró un buen rendimiento psicométricos para evaluar los
síntomas obsesivo-compulsivos en niños y adolescentes en población co-
munitaria.
The aim of the current study was to analyze psychometric proper- ties of the Short LOI-CV in Spanish community sample. Participants were 914 children and adolescents with a mean age of 13.01 years (51.3% males). The EFA yielded a three-factor model representing Obsessions, Compulsions, and Cleanliness dimensions. Both, total score and subscales showed an adequate internal consistency. The Spanish version also exhib- ited good test-retest reliability and moderate convergent and discriminant validity. The younger participants (from 8 to 10 years) obtained higher means for total score and subscales than older participants (groups 11-13 and 14-18 years). Significant differences related to gender were also ob- served since males obtained higher means in Compulsions subscale. De- spite more research is required, this results suggested that Spanish version of the Short LOI-CV showed a good psychometric performance assessing obsessive-compulsive symptoms in community population
