Construct validity properties of the Beck Anxiety and Depression Inventories in Kichwa-speaking Cañari adolescents in Ecuador

Abstract

ABSTRACT Epidemiological evidence suggests that anxiety disorders and depression are prevalent and often evaluated through self-reports. However, the content validity of self-reports can vary across cultures, which is pertinent to our study's objectives. Thus, our study aimed to assess construct validity using Confirmatory Factor Analysis among 230 bilingual students from the cantons of El Cañar, El Tambo, and Suscal, who speak Kichwa, an indigenous language of Ecuador. We conducted the analysis of the results using the R statistical platform and the Lavaan package. The findings demonstrated that both instruments exhibited construct validity in the Kichwa language, as indicated by an RMSEA of 0.025, SRMR of 0.049, TLI of 0.920, CFI of 0.924, and X2/gl of 1.15. Moreover, the reliability level was high, with a McDonald's ω coefficient of 0.964 for the depression inventory and 0.952 for the anxiety inventory. Based on these results, we recommend the utilization of these instruments for assessing anxiety and depression in Kichwa-speaking adolescents within bilingual educational institutions. In summary, validating assessment instruments is crucial to ensure the accuracy and reliability of obtained results, particularly when dealing with different cultures and language groups. This study offers evidence regarding the validity and reliability of two self-report scales for assessing anxiety and depression in Kichwa-speaking adolescents, thereby contributing to the enhancement of care and treatment for these conditions within this specific population group. RESUMEN La evidencia epidemiológica sugiere que los trastornos de ansiedad y depresión son comunes, y que a menudo se evalúan mediante autoinformes. Sin embargo, la validez del contenido de los autoinformes puede variar entre diferentes culturas, lo que es relevante para los objetivos del presente estudio. Por lo tanto, el propósito de este estudio fue evaluar la validez del constructo mediante Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio en una muestra de 230 estudiantes bilingües de los cantones El Cañar, El Tambo y Suscal, que hablan kichwa, una lengua indígena del Ecuador. El análisis de los resultados se realizó utilizando la plataforma estadística R y el paquete Lavaan. Los resultados demostraron que ambos instrumentos tienen validez de constructo en la lengua kichwa, con un RMSEA de 0,025, SRMR de 0.049, TLI de 0.920, CFI de 0.924 y X2/gl de 1.15. Además, el nivel de fiabilidad fue alto, con un coeficiente ω de McDonald de 0,964 para el inventario de depresión y 0,952 para el inventario de ansiedad. Por lo tanto, los autores del estudio recomiendan su uso para evaluar la ansiedad y la depresión en adolescentes en instituciones educativas bilingües que hablan kichwa. En resumen, la validación de instrumentos de evaluación es fundamental para garantizar la precisión y la fiabilidad de los resultados obtenidos, especialmente en culturas y grupos lingüísticos diferentes. El presente estudio proporciona evidencia de la validez y la fiabilidad de dos escalas de autoinforme para evaluar la ansiedad y la depresión en adolescentes que hablan kichwa, lo que puede ayudar a mejorar la atención y el tratamiento de estas condiciones en este grupo de población.
