Resumen

Este estudio tiene como objetivo realizar la adaptación lingüística y validación del Hopkins Symptom Checklist para Adolescentes (Bean et al., 2007), un instrumento de autoinforme breve, ampliamente usado en la detección de problemas internalizantes y externalizantes en adolescentes expuestos a situaciones de violencia. Tras la adaptación ligüística, involucrando a profesionales y adolescentes uruguayos, se administró el instrumento en una muestra de conveniencia compuesta por 529 adolescentes entre 12 y 16 años, alumnos de tres colegios privados católicos montevideanos de nivel socioeconómico medio-alto (46,1%) y medio-bajo (53,9%). También se aplicaron el IES-R (Weiss & Marmar, 1997), BIEPS-J (Casullo, 2002) y cuestionario sociodemográfico. Los resultados del análisis de componentes principales respaldan al modelo de dos factores establecido en estudios previos. Se encontraron valores de Alpha de Chronbach satisfactorios (.90 para la escala total; .90 y .75 para las subescalas) comparables con los establecidos anteriormente. Se confirma la correlación positiva del HSCL-A con síntomas de estrés postraumático, su relación inversa con bienestar psicológico, y su capacidad para diferenciar entre víctimas y testigos de violencia, apoyando la validez convergente del instrumento. Concluimos el HSCL-A puede ser considerado como un instrumento sólido y prometedor para la evaluación de problemas internalizantes y externalizantes en adolescentes uruguayos.
