Abstract
Introduction: Coping is a relevant psychological construct in situations where there is ongoing danger, such as occurs in the context of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic both in Mexico and in the world. However, there are no specific scales to measure and study coping in this global health situation. Objective: Adapt and validate a scale to measure coping with the risk of infection in a sample of Mexican adults during the SARS-CoV2 pandemic confinement. Methodology: Instrumental study, in which a sample of 1132 participants was used. The scale was adapted and submitted to expert judgment to adapt its items to the context and situation of the SARS CoV2 pandemic. The psychometric analyses were carried out using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis techniques, invariance, and reliability tests. Results: The exploratory factor analysis allowed finding a structure with three factors corresponding to active coping strategies, emotion-focused passive coping, and cognition-focused passive coping. The confirmatory factor analysis allowed proving the adequate adjustment of the data to the proposed structure, as well as its invariance. The reliability values found were also adequate ω = .80, .70 and .70, respectively. Conclusions: The SARS-CoV2 coping strategies scale has a three-factor structure and adequate reliability to characterize coping styles in the face of pandemics such as SARS-CoV2.
