Résumé
Une nouvelle mesure du soutien social spécifique aux troubles anxieux a été développée ; il s’agit du « Questionnaire sur les Comportements de Soutien en situation d’Anxiété » (QCSA ; Guay et al., 2003). La présente étude vise à présenter et à valider cette échelle. Le QCSA mesure le soutien perçu positif et négatif. Auprès d’un échantillon composé de 257 étudiants universitaires, le QCSA présente de bonnes propriétés psychométriques (consistance interne et validité convergente). Suite à l’analyse factorielle, trois facteurs ont été identifiés : 1) coercition et critique ; 2) gestion de l’anxiété et renforcement ; et 3) distraction. Des corrélations significatives avec des mesures d’anxiété, de fonctionnement et de détresse psychologique en font un outil fort utile pour évaluer le soutien social en lien avec la santé mentale.
Abstract
A new measure of the social support specifically intended for anxiety disorders has been elaborated ; this new scale entitled “Questionnaire sur les Comportements de Soutien en situation d’Anxiété” (QCSA ; Guay et al., 2003) consists of 65 items measuring positive and negative perceived social support. Among a sample of 257 university students, the QCSA shows good psychometric properties (internal consistency and correlations with related constructs). Results of an exploratory factor analysis identified three factors : 1) criticism and coercive strategies, 2) anxiety management and reinforcement, and 3) distraction. Significant correlations were found with measures of anxiety, functioning and psychological distress. The QCSA is an adequate scale to evaluate social support in relation to mental health.
Resumen
Se ha desarrollado una nueva medida del apoyo social específico para los trastornos de ansiedad; se trata del “Cuestionario sobre los comportamientos de apoyo en situaciones de ansiedad” (QCSA; Guay et al., 2003). El presente estudio busca presentar y validar esta escala. El QCSA mide el apoyo percibido como positivo y negativo. En una muestra compuesta de 257 estudiantes universitarios, el QCSA presenta buenas propiedades psicométricas (consistencia interna y validez convergente). Después del análisis factorial, se identificaron tres factores: 1) coerción y crítica, 2) gestión de la ansiedad y refuerzo y 3) distracción. Las correlaciones significativas con las medidas de ansiedad, funcionamiento y angustia psicológica la hacen una herramienta muy útil para evaluar el apoyo social en relación con la salud mental.
Resumo
Uma nova medida do apoio social específico aos transtornos de ansiedade foi desenvolvida; trata-se do “Questionário sobre os Comportamentos de Apoio em Situação de Ansiedade” (QCSA; Guay et al., 2003). O presente estudo visa apresentar e validar esta escala. O QCSA mede o apoio recebido positivo e negativo. Junto a uma amostragem composta por 257 estudantes universitários, o QCSA apresenta boas propriedades psicométricas (consistência interna e validade convergente). Após a análise fatorial, três fatores foram identificados: 1) coerção e crítica; 2) gestão da ansiedade e reforço e 3) distração. Correlações significativas com medidas de ansiedade, de funcionamento e de desespero psicológico fazem disto uma ferramenta muito útil para avaliar o apoio social em relação com a saúde mental.
