description Fear of recurrence is one of the main affectations of cancer survivors. In Latin-American exist a lack of evidence on the subject and of valid instruments to measure it. The objective of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Concerns About Recurrence Scale in Mexican breast cancer survivors. An instrumental study was carried out with 200 women breast cancer survivors with a mean age of 53 years old and a mean survival of 52.5 months. A confirmatory factor analysis of the original version of the scale identified four factors that explained 77 % of the variance and satisfactory goodness of fit indicators: CFI = .967, TLI = .957, SRMR = .035, RMSEA = .071 as well as high internal consistency α = .945. Significant associations were also identified between general fear subscale, anxiety subscale of the HADS and total HADS score (r = .638 and r = .607; p = .01). The CARS presented adequate validity, reliability and factorial structure. It is recommended for usage in clinical care and research with Mexican breast cancer survivors.

En América Latina existe una falta de evidencia en el tema y de instrumentos válidos para medirlo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Preocupaciones Acerca del Cáncer (CARS, por su sigla en inglés) en supervivientes de cáncer de mama mexicanas. Se llevó a cabo un estudio instrumental con 200 mujeres supervivientes de cáncer mamario con una edad promedio de 53 años y una sobrevida promedio de 52.5 meses. Un análisis factorial confirmatorio de la versión original del instrumento identificó cuatro factores que explicaron el 77 % de la varianza de la escala e indicadores de bondad de ajuste satisfactorios: CFI = .967, TLI = .957, SRMR = .035, RMSEA = .071, así como una elevada consistencia interna α = .945. Asimismo, se identificaron asociaciones significativas entre las subescalas de miedo general, ansiedad de la HADS y puntaje total de la HADS (r = .638 y r = .607; p = .01). La escala CARS presentó adecuada validez, confiabilidad y estructura factorial. Es recomendable su uso en escenarios clínicos y de investigación con supervivientes de cáncer de mama mexicanas.O medo da recorrência é uma das principais sequelas dos sobreviventes do câncer. Na América Latina há uma falta de evidências sobre o assunto e uma falta de instrumentos válidos para medi-lo. O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar as propriedades psicométricas da Escala Preocupações sobre o Câncer (CARS) em sobreviventes do câncer de mama mexicanas. Foi realizado um estudo instrumental com 200 mulheres sobreviventes de câncer de mama com uma média de idade de 53 anos e uma sobrevivência média de 52,5 meses. Uma análise fatorial confirmatória da versão original do instrumento identificou quatro fatores que explicaram 77 % da variação da escala e indicadores satisfatórios de bondade de ajuste: CFI = 0,967, TLI = 0,957, SRMR = 0,035, RMSEA = 0,071, assim como alta consistência interna α = 0,945. Associações significativas também foram identificadas entre as subescalas de medo geral, ansiedade HADS e pontuação total HADS (r = 0,638 e r = 0,607; p = 0,01). A escala CARS mostrou adequada validade, confiabilidade e estrutura de fatores. É recomendado seu uso em ambientes clínicos e de pesquisa com sobreviventes do câncer de mama mexicanas.Universidad Católica del Uruguay2023-05-042025-12-22T16:34:45Z2025-12-22T16:34:45Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.ucu.edu.uy/index.php/cienciaspsicologicas/article/view/277710.22235/cp.v17i1.2777https://hdl.handle.net/10895/5592Ciencias Psicológicas; 2023, Volumen 17(1); e-2777Ciencias Psicológicas; 2023, Volumen 17(1); e-2777Ciencias Psicológicas; 2023, Volumen 17(1); e-27771688-422110.22235/cp.v17i1reponame:LIBERIinstname:Universidad Católica del Uruguayinstacron:Universidad Católica del Uruguayengspahttps://revistas.ucu.edu.uy/index.php/cienciaspsicologicas/article/view/2777/2837https://revistas.ucu.edu.uy/index.php/cienciaspsicologicas/article/view/2777/3819Derechos de autor 2023 Universidad Católica del Uruguayhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:liberi.ucu.edu.uy:10895/55922026-06-16T06:52:16Z
