| dc.description.abstract | This work presents and discusses the psychometric characteristics of the Portuguese version of The Survey of Student Needs (SSN), a self-report questionnaire that assesses psychological intervention needs. A total of 659 university students participated, 76.5% women, with a mean age of 21.96 years. The results of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) report a factorial solution of three factors explaining 38.49% of the variance. Considering the internal consistency of this factorial structure, Cronbach’s alpha values of .88 were found in factor 1, .81 in factor 2, and .84 in factor 3. The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) suggest that the factorial solution proposed by the EFA presents better fit indices to the empirical data when compared to three alternative models (X2/df = 3.096, CFI = .842, GFI = .851, RMSEA = .056, P[rmsea ≤ .05] < .000). In conclusion, this study indicates that the SSN is a valid and reliable instrument applicable to the research and intervention contexts of this field. | pt_PT |
| dc.description.abstract | Este trabajo presenta y analiza las características psicométricas de la versión en portugués de la Encuesta de Necesidades Estudiantiles (SSN), un cuestionario de autoinforme que evalúa las necesidades de intervención psicológica. Un total de 659 estudiantes universitarios participaron, 76.5% mujeres, con una edad media de 21.96 años. Los resultados de Análisis Factorial Exploratorio (AFE) informan una solución factorial de tres factores que explican el 38.49% de la varianza. Teniendo en cuenta la consistencia interna de esta estructura factorial, encontramos los valores alfa de Cronbach de .88 en el factor 1, .81 en el factor 2 y .84 en el factor 3. Los resultados del Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (CFA) sugieren que la solución factorial propuesta Por la EFA presenta mejores índices de ajuste a los datos empíricos en comparación con tres modelos alternativos (X2 / df = 3.096, CFI = .842, GFI = .851, RMSEA = .056, p [rmsea ≤ .05] < .000). En conclusión, este estudio indica que el SSN es un instrumento válido y confiable aplicable a los contextos de investigación e intervención en este campo. | pt_PT |
