Validation of the HIV risk perception scale (RPS-HIV) in men


The objective of this research was to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a scale aimed at measuring the perception of HIV risk in men. 1008 men with an average age of 31 years participated, half of them diagnosed with HIV. A scale in Likert format was designed and applied on the per...

description The objective of this research was to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a scale aimed at measuring the perception of HIV risk in men. 1008 men with an average age of 31 years participated, half of them diagnosed with HIV. A scale in Likert format was designed and applied on the perception of risk for HIV transmission (EPR-HIV). The exploratory factor analysis yielded three factors, sexual risk practices, HIV transmission situations and safe sexual practices that together have an explained variance of 44.90 and an internal consistency of . 78; in addition, a concurrent validity was found between the scale and the consistency in the use of the condom. The results are discussed in terms of the importance of having valid and reliable instruments on risk perception of HIV in men.

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue desarrollar y evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de una escala orientada a medir la percepción de riesgo ante el VIH en hombres. Participaron 1008 hombres con una edad promedio de 31 años, la mitad de ellos con diagnóstico de VIH. Se diseñó y aplicó una escala en formato tipo likert sobre la percepción de riesgo ante la transmisión del VIH por vía sexual (EPR-VIH). El análisis factorial exploratorio arrojó tres factores, prácticas sexuales de riesgo, situaciones de transmisión de VIH y prácticas sexuales seguras que en su conjunto tienen una varianza explicada de 44.90 y una consistencia interna de .78; además se encontró una validez concurrente entre la escala y la consistencia en el uso del condón. Se discuten los resultados en términos de la importancia de contar con instrumentos válidos y confiables sobre percepción de riesgo ante el VIH en hombres.    O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi desenvolver e avaliar as propriedades psicométricas de uma escala orientada a medir a percepção de risco ante o HIV em homens. Participaram 1008 homens com uma idade média de 31 anos, metade deles com diagnóstico de HIV. Foi concebida e aplicada uma escala em formato Likert sobre a percepção do risco de transmissão do VIH por via sexual (EPR-VIH). A análise fatorial exploratória revelou três fatores, práticas sexuais de risco, situações de transmissão de HIV e práticas sexuais seguras que, no seu conjunto, têm uma variância explicada de 44.90 e uma consistência interna de . 78; além disso, foi encontrada uma validade simultânea entre a escala e a consistência no uso do preservativo. Os resultados são discutidos em termos da importância de dispor de instrumentos válidos e fiáveis sobre percepção de risco perante o HIV em homens. 2021-06-27 2022-03-16T19:51:26Z 2022-03-16T19:51:26Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos de investigación https://revistas.unlp.edu.ar/revpsi/article/view/12318 10.24215/2422572Xe110 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/31992 spa https://revistas.unlp.edu.ar/revpsi/article/view/12318/11127 Derechos de autor 2021 Ricardo Sánchez Medina, María Fernanda Lozano Quiroz, Oscar Iván Negrete Rodríguez, David Javier Enríquez Negrete, Maria de los Angeles Estrada Martínez https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf Facultad de Psicología (Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina) Revista de Psicología; Vol. 20 Núm. 2 (2021): Vol. 20(2) (2021) / Dossier: Interpretación y lazo social; 34-54 Revista de Psicología -Segunda Epoca-; ##issue.vol## 20 ##issue.no## 2 (2021): Vol. 20(2) (2021) / Dossier: Interpretación y lazo social; 34-54 Journal of Psychology; Vol 20 No 2 (2021): Vol. 20(2) (2021) / Dossier: Interpretación y lazo social; 34-54 Jornal de Psicologia; v. 20 n. 2 (2021): Vol. 20(2) (2021) / Dossier: Interpretación y lazo social; 34-54 2422-572X 0556-6274
