Objective: Adapt and validate the Spanish version of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale. Material and Method: A process of semantic validation was performed, followed by the application to 220 adults in order to study their psychometric properties. Results: Minimal semantic changes were introduced. Factorial analysis of the main components was used, with good results (KMO= 0.897) and very good internal consistency for a factor (? = 0.875). This questionnaire showed very good correlation with questionnaire GHQ-12 and the one on life quality WHOQOL-BREF. The correlation test-retest was positive and statistically significant (r = 0.556, p < 0.001). Conclusion: This scale showed good psychometric indicators, being a simple and easy to apply tool to assess mental well-being in adults. Introducción: El bienestar mental es un constructo relevante, pero ha sido poco estudiado y existen muy pocos cuestionarios para su valoración. Objetivo: Adaptar y validar la versión española de la Escala de Bienestar Mental de WarwickEdimburgo. Material y Método: Se realizó un procedimiento de validación semántica, seguido de una aplicación a 220 personas adultas para estudiar sus propiedades psicométricas. Resultados: Se introdujeron cambios semánticos mínimos. Se utilizó un análisis factorial de componentes principales, con buenos resultados (KMO= 0,897) y una muy buena consistencia interna para un factor(? = 0,875). Este cuestionario mostró una buena correlación con el GHQ- 12 y el cuestionario de calidad de vida WHOQOL-BREF. La correlación test - retest fue positiva y estadísticamente significativa (r = 0,556, p < 0,001). Conclusión: Esta escala mostró buenos indicadores psicométricos, siendo una herramienta útil y fácil de aplicar para la evaluación del bienestar mental en adultos.
