Abstract:
Most of the validated ‘events exposure’ questionnaires are focused on lifetime burden and are
hardly applicable to Argentina owing to its sociocultural and natural conditions, where corruption and economic crises have been hitting middle-class people’s lives in a cyclic manner. This
prompted us to develop a new questionnaire, validated in Argentina, to assess the occurrence
of exposure to events and their severity over a limited period. Deductive (bibliographic search)
and inductive (by a Delphi group) selection was used to create an initial group of 24 questions,
which were condensed into a final 14-item questionnaire. After administration to 512 inhabitants of the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires and other major cities in Argentina, the
questionnaire was shown to have an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.996 and an internal
consistency, measured by the omega coefficient, of 0.86. Because this study was conducted
during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, an additional question on how this
situation affected individuals was included. The time span used to measure event exposure was
1 year prior to the study. In the case of an affirmative event exposure, the responder selected
the severity of the stress perception generated on a Likert-like scale, ranging from 0 (nothing)
to 5 (severe). Fifty-eight per cent of the responders were women, and the mean age was 47.14
years (SD: 13.97). The average annual event incidence per person was 2.5 events (SD: 1.88).
Thirty-two per cent (164/512) reported at least one 5-point event on the severity scale. Ten
per cent (51/512) responded that the COVID-19 pandemic affected them in a different manner
than events related to personal or family disease, or the death of a close family member or
friend. |
