Abstract

Introduction: the aim of this study is to present the process of cross-cultural adaptation of the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) instrument for a population of teachers who taught primary and secondary school students remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile.

Method: Cross-sectional, multistage study. The PSS-10 was cross-culturally adapted to Chilean Spanish by means of a content validation process by experts using the Delphi method. Nine expert judges were selected. The questionnaire items were evaluated under three categories: relevance, clarity and sufficiency. Two rounds of evaluation were carried out to determine the degree of concordance between judges, evidenced by the calculation of content validity indexes. The trial phase of the instrument was carried out using the QuestionPro® platform in a sample of 54 teachers, selected through convenience sampling. Cronbach’s alpha was calculated as a measure of internal consistency.

Results: the instrument obtained a content validity index per item between 0.80 and 1.00, an average content validity index of 0.97 and a universal content validity index of 0.96. Internal consistency yielded an adequate reliability of the PSS-10 (Cronbach’s alpha of 0.85) cross-culturally adapted to Chilean Spanish. 

Conclusion: The content validation of the PSS-10, using the Delphi method, allowed consensus on the opinions expressed by experts in occupational stress. The scale proved to be reliable; therefore, it could be applied to evaluate the self-perception of work stress in Chilean teachers.
