Abstract
El objetivo de este artículo es evaluar las evidencias psicométricas de la escala de afrontamiento al estrés (COPE-28) en cuidadores informales de personas de la tercera edad en Bolivia. El estudio de referencia tuvo un diseño no experimental y transversal, realizado a partir de un muestreo no probabilístico y a conveniencia de los investigadores: 306 personas en un rango de edad de 18 a 85 años. La recolección de datos se efectuó mediante la aplicación de encuestas Google Forms©. Los resultados presentan apropiadas evidencias empíricas de validez interna (constructo, fiabilidad, discriminante) y externa (reproductibilidad). En conclusión, la escala de afrontamiento para cuidadores informales de personas de la tercera edad, evidenció adecuadas propiedades psicométricas, confirmando la dimensión centrada en el problema de la teoría de Lazarus y Folkmann (1985).

The data collection was through a survey application such as Google Forms ©. The results presented appropriate empirical evidence of internal validity (construct, reliability, discriminant) and external (reproducibility). In conclusion, the confront scale for informal caregivers showed adequate psychometric properties, confirming the problem-centered dimension of Lazarus and Folkmann's theory (1985).
