    Abstract The purpose of this study is to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Body Shame scale within the Objectified Body Consciousness Scale (OBCS) in a sample of women living in Puerto Rico. The sample consisted of 117 heterosexual women. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to evaluate the structure of the scale and internal consistency was examined. Findings revealed that the 6-item Spanish version of the Body Shame scale shows better model-data fit than the original 8-item version. The results of the study support the use of the final 6-item version of the Body Shame scale in research and practice, given that it demonstrated appropriate structure and internal consistency. In conclusion, the findings support the use of the 6-item version of the Body Shame scale.

    Title translation Psychometric Properties of the Scale of Negative Attitudes Towards Trans People in Healthcare Providers in Puerto Rico.
    Abstract The ignorance towards the Trans people can cause healthcare providers to assume negative attitudes towards this population. It is relevant to understand with more amplitude the manifestations of stigma towards the Trans population using instruments whose psychometry is adequate. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the reliability of the Scale of Negative Attitudes towards Trans People (EANT, in Spanish) and its factorial structure in healthcare providers in Puerto Rico. As a secondary objective, differences in attitudes towards Trans people between physical healthcare providers and mental healthcare providers were evaluated. The sample consisted of 67 healthcare providers recruited according to their availability. A point-biserial correlation, a Cronbach's alpha analysis, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test were carried out to examine our objectives. The results confirmed that the EANT has a one-dimensional structure. The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency index of the scale was .75. No significant differences were found in attitudes towards Trans people between physical healthcare providers and mental healthcare providers. Finally, a discussion of the research findings is presented, as well as its limitations and contributions.

    Abstract Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed in the male population in Puerto Rico. However, it is little studied in the field of health, specifically in the field of clinical health psychology. The present study examines whether emotional distress and sexual satisfaction mediate the relationship between erectile dysfunction and quality of life and if erectile dysfunction is related to the treatment. For this, a quantitative exploratory design was used. The sample was 44 patients between the ages of 50 to 86 years. It was compiled by availability in different urologists' offices. For its collection, several meetings were held with specialists, a data collection logistics was established, in which the administrative staff identified the participants through their ICD 10 diagnoses. The participants completed four self-administered questionnaires, which most of them showed an appropriate Cronbach's Alpha. The results indicated that exist a low moderately significant relationship between treatment and erectile dysfunction (b = -0.35, 95% BcCI [-0.82, -0.03]) and that there is an indirect effect of psychological distress (b = -0.35, 95 % BcCI [-0.82, -0.03]) and sexual satisfaction (b = -.87, 95% BcCI [-2.18, -0.24] in the relationship between erectile dysfunction and the patient's quality of life. The preliminary data from the present study allow the offering of psychotherapeutic treatments focused on this population.

    Abstract The current study, guided by the Minority Stress Model (Meyer, 2003), seeks to examine the effect of sexual orientation or gender identity management (disclosure or concealment) in the relationship between internalized negative ideals (internalized homonegativity and internalized transnegativity) and psychological wellbeing in LGBTT+ people in Puerto Rico. Four instruments were translated from English to Spanish, two of them relating to the management of the minority identity, and two regarding the internalized negative ideals. Additionally, reliability measures were calculated for each instrument. The sample consisted of 203 participants, 165 identified as cisgendered, and 38 identified themselves as trans or another gender. Results suggested that internalized negative ideals predicted the minority identity management in LGBTT+ people. However, the relationship between the internalized negative ideals and psychological wellbeing was only confirmed in terms of sexual orientation and not of gender identity, which suggests that other factors may better explain wellbeing in trans people. A discussion is presented on these results' implications and the study's challenges and limitations due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and suggestions for further studies.

    Abstract Objective: Anxiety disorders are prevalent among children and adolescents. Identifying anxiety symptoms in primary care, school, and community settings has implications for service planning, resource allocation, and prevention and treatment programming. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale is a commonly used instrument for evaluating anxiety symptoms. Still, it has yet to be validated in vulnerable groups, such as Spanish-speaking adolescents who are at risk due to socioeconomic disadvantages.
    Methods: This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the GAD-7 for adolescents in a sample of middle and high school students in Puerto Rico. Secondary data from 566 students in fifth to twelfth grade in Puerto Rico were collected as part of a school-based services program.
    Results: A confirmatory factor analysis evidenced the 1-factor structure of the GAD-7, while a test of invariance supported the equality of the factor loadings across gender and school level. The scores of the GAD-7 showed positive and significant correlations with the 8-item Patient Health Questionnaire depression scale-providing evidence of convergent validity-and the reliability estimates of the GAD-7 were adequate.
    Conclusion: Thus, the GAD-7 has optimal psychometric properties in terms of construct and convergent validity and internal consistency. It is a useful instrument for assessing anxiety in Spanish speaking youth in Puerto Rico.

    Abstract Countries worldwide are making wide-ranging attempts to stymie the outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and most of their efforts depend on the financial, structural, and social resources available. Given the increase in documented cases of COVID-19 in Puerto Rico, the extension of an aggressive and restrictive quarantine has been the correct step to slow down the potential contagion. Nevertheless, in this article, we discuss additional concrete actions that should be considered. This unprecedented scenario provides us the opportunity to rethink our limited resources based on a socioecological perspective, with the aim of creating efficiency and reducing the inequities that could accompany the pandemic.

    Abstract The evidence base supporting the usefulness of traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and newer acceptance-based CBT treatments for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) has grown over the past decades. GAD is prevalent among several Latino subgroups, particularly Puerto Ricans. However, there remains uncertainty regarding the appropriateness of these interventions for Spanish-speaking Latinos since they have been routinely excluded in both efficacy and effectiveness studies. As an initial step to bridge this gap, this pilot study examined the potential efficacy of two CBT interventions for GAD, traditional CBT and acceptance-based behavioral therapy (ABBT), in a sample of Spanish-speaking Latinos. Ninety primary care patients with GAD were randomly assigned to receive CBT (

    Abstract Objective: The Combat Exposure Scale (CES) is one of the most used self-report instruments to assess various combat situations experienced by military personnel. This article presents a comprehensive translation and cultural adaptation of the CES to Spanish and its psychometric properties.
    Method: Fifty-five (n = 55) U.S. military Spanish-speaking Latino veterans diagnosed with combat-related PTSD were recruited from 2018 to 2020 to participate in this cross-sectional preliminary data study at the VA Caribbean Health Care System. The translation and cultural adaptation followed the recommendations by Chavez & Canino (2005). Statistical analysis included principal component factor analysis, internal consistency analysis, and content validity analysis. It included two different expert bilingual committees composed of veterans with combat experience and university professors at a doctoral level.
    Results: The CES-S consists of seven items. The principal component factor analysis resulted in one factor and the content validity of =1. CES-S has an internal consistency of α=.84.
    Conclusion: The CES-S is suitable for its use with Spanish-speaking Latino veteran samples. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
