Tener una herramienta válida para evaluar las actitudes hacia la vacunación e identificar las preocupaciones que impulsan el rechazo a la vacunación puede facilitar los estudios de población y ayudar a guiar las intervenciones de salud pública. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido adaptar la escala Examen de Actitudes hacia la Vacunación (VAX) en universitarios colombianos y estudiar sus propiedades psicométricas en una muestra no probabilística de 1074 universitarios colombianos. Métodos: Se utilizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio para estudiar la estructura factorial. Se probó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para estudiar la validez concurrente y comprobar si los factores predecían haber recibido la vacuna contra el coronavirus. También se estudió la invariancia de la medición basada en el género para el mejor modelo. Resultados: Los resultados apoyan la estructura de cuatro factores relacionados. El índice de confiabilidad compuesto fue bueno para todos los factores, pero la varianza promedio extraída no fue tan buena para el segundo factor. Hubo una fuerte invariancia de medición por género, y dos factores son buenos predictores de estar vacunado o no. Conclusiones: El VAX ha mostrado validez de constructo y concurrente y es una herramienta confiable para evaluar las actitudes hacia las vacunas en estudiantes universitarios en Colombia. Puede ayudar a orientar la implementación de acciones para el Plan Nacional de Vacunación y las políticas institucionales. |

The objective of this study has been to adapt the Vaccination Attitudes Examination (VAX) scale in Colombian university students and to study its psychometric properties in a non-probabilistic sample of 1074 Colombian university students. Methods: A confirmatory factor analysis was used to study the factorial structure. A structural equation model was tested to study concurrent validity and to check whether the factors predicted having received the coronavirus vaccine. Gender-based measurement invariance was also studied for the best model. Results: The results support the structure of four related factors. The composite reliability index was good for all the factors, but the average variance extracted was not as good for the second factor. There was strong measurement invariance by gender, and two factors are good predictors of being vaccinated or not. Conclusions: The VAX has shown construct and concurrent validity and is a reliable tool for evaluating attitudes towards vaccines in university students in Colombia. It may help guide the implementation of actions for the National Vaccination Plan and institutional policies.https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001561776https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6337-577Xmartha.martinc@campusucc.edu.co13Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, Psicología, Santa MartaPsicologíaSanta Martahttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9409776/pdf/jcm-11-04682.pdfJ.
