Resumen

Objetivos: La crisis mundial del COVID-19 y sus consiguientes medidas estrictas de salud pública aplicadas en todo el mundo han repercutido en la salud mental. Se han desarrollado nuevas escalas y herramientas para medir estos efectos sobre la salud mental. Esta revisión narrativa evalúa las propiedades psicométricas de estas escalas y herramientas y los aspectos metodológicos de su desarrollo. Métodos: Se realizaron búsquedas en PubMed, PubMed Central y Google Scholar de artículos publicados entre el 15 de mayo de 2020 y el 15 de agosto de 2020. Esta búsqueda utilizó tres grupos de términos ("tool" OR "scale" AND "mental" OR "psychological"; AND "COVID-19" OR "coronavirus"). Las escalas identificadas fueron evaluadas adicionalmente por sus propiedades psicométricas y aspectos metodológicos de su desarrollo. Resultados: Aunque los estudios que han desarrollado estas escalas (n = 12) han demostrado sus sólidas propiedades psicométricas, cabe destacar algunos aspectos metodológicos. La mayoría de las escalas se validaron mediante encuestas por Internet, y faltaban descripciones detalladas del modo de administración, el proceso de muestreo, las tasas de respuesta y las estrategias de aumento. Conclusiones: El informe heterogéneo e inadecuado de los métodos adoptados para evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de las escalas identificadas puede limitar su utilidad en entornos clínicos y de investigación. Sugerimos el desarrollo de directrices y listas de comprobación para mejorar el diseño y las pruebas, y dar lugar a la presentación de informes de las escalas administradas en línea para evaluar los efectos de la pandemia COVID-19 en la salud mental.
