ZAMBRANO-CRUZ, Renato; RESTREPO-CARVAJAL, Jorge y CASTANEDA-QUIRAMA, Tatiana. Measuring Hypochondria with Short Health Anxiety Inventory: Psychometric Properties in Colombian University Students. Rev. Investig. Innov. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2024, vol.6, n.2, pp.128-138. Epub 06-Jun-2024. ISSN 2665-2056. https://doi.org/10.46634/riics.266.
Introduction:
The Short Health Anxiety Inventory is a commonly used tool for assessing health anxiety, but its psychometric properties and internal structure have not been examined in a Latin American Spanish-speaking population. This study aimed to establish the psychometric properties among Colombian university students.
Method:
The goodness of fit of four latent structure models of the Short Health Anxiety Inventory was tested using confirmatory factor analysis in a sample of 1004 Colombian university students.
Results:
The results show that the original model's structure does not fit well (CFI = .808; RMSEA = .074), and the reliability was .796 and .703 for the original two variables.
Conclusions:
The findings do not support the utilization of the Colombian version of the Short Health Anxiety Inventory by researchers and clinicians among Colombian university students.
