Description
Summary:Abstract Although the post-traumatic growth inventory (PTGI) is a widely used instrument to assess positive changes after trauma, its factor structure has not been consistent in the validations made in Spanish. Currently, there is no evi- dence of the study of its psychometric properties in Mexican population, so the purpose of this study was to contrast the factor structure of the PTGI and describe the average profile of post-traumatic growth in a Mexican sample. The PTGI-M is considered an instrument with good psychometric properties to evaluate growth after a traumatic event in Mexican population. Los criterios de inclusión fueron: identificarse como mexicano y residir en el país, saber leer y escribir en español, poder acceder al cuestionario a través de internet, ser mayor de edad, dar el consentimiento tras leer la información sobre el estudio para su inclusión en el mismo y reconocer haber vivido alguna situación de carácter traumático (que hubiera puesto en peligro su integridad física, emocional o psicológica).
