ABSTRACT
Objective. To adapt and validate in Spanish of Mexico scales
to measure self-efficacy (SES) and empowerment for self-care
(ES) among climacteric women.
Materials and methods.
The study was conducted from February to July 2011 in two
family medicine clinics in Mexico City. The adaptation phase
was done through testing for language comprehension. To
validate the scales we used the principal Axis factoring analysis
with oblique rotation technique and estimation of Cronbach’s
alpha (CA).
Results. Three hundred eighty women aged
45-59 years participated in the study. SES had 16 items with
four factors: participation in the doctor-patient relationship;
in the study control of mental health and sexual changes; risk
of dying from cancer, and other health risks that explained
39.8% of the variability, CA= 0.84. ES had eight items with
one factor explaining 47.1% variability; CA= 0.83.
Conclusion.
Both scales had acceptable psychometric properties
and are suitable for interventions aimed at improving self-care
of climacteric women.
