Adjustment Disorders (AjD) are one of the most prevalent
psychological problems in primary and hospital care. It is necessary
to have evidence-based instruments to help professionals diagnose
and better understand this problem, which has been little studied. This
study presents an adaptation of the Inventory of Complicated Grief for
the assessment of AjD symptoms, referred to as the Inventory of Stress
and Loss (ISL), and explores the differences in the response to stressful
situations between general and clinical Spanish populations. Methods:
The general sample included 208 participants, and the clinical sample 91
patients with AjD. Results: Results showed that the ISL has high internal
consistency. Confi rmatory factor analysis showed one single factor, as in
the original questionnaire. With respect to concurrent validity, the ISL
correlated positively with the STAI-T. Finally, signifi cant differences
were found in the total score on the questionnaire between the clinical
and general samples, and between men and women in the general sample.
Conclusions: Results suggest that the ISL is a simple, useful assessment
tool that exhibits good psychometric properties and makes it possible to
differentiate normal reactions to a stressful situation from pathological
reactions. [-]

Antecedentes: los Trastornos
Adaptativos (TA) son uno de los problemas psicológicos más prevalentes
en atención primaria y hospitalaria. Necesitamos disponer de instrumentos
basados en la evidencia que ayuden a los profesionales a diagnosticar y a
atender mejor este problema tan poco estudiado. Este estudio presenta
la adaptación del Inventario de Duelo Complicado para la evaluación de
los síntomas del TA, denominado Inventario de Estrés y Pérdida (IEP),
y explora las diferencias en la respuesta a situaciones estresantes entre
la población general y clínica española. Métodos: la muestra general
incluyó 208 participantes, y la muestra clínica 91 participantes con TA.
Resultados: los resultados mostraron que el IEP tiene una alta consistencia
interna. El análisis factorial confi rmatorio mostró un único factor, como
el cuestionario original. En cuanto a la validez convergente, el IEP
correlacionó positivamente con el STAI-R. Finalmente, se encontraron
diferencias signifi cativas en la puntuación total del cuestionario entre la
muestra general y clínica, y entre hombres y mujeres de la muestra general.
Conclusiones: los resultados sugieren que el IEP es una herramienta de
evaluación simple y útil que muestra buenos resultados psicométricos y
hace posible diferenciar las reacciones normales ante un acontecimiento
estresante de las patológicas. [-]
