Resumen

Antecedentes: El diagnóstico y el tratamiento de la fertilidad repercuten en la calidad de vida de las personas. FertiQoL es un cuestionario desarrollado internacionalmente para medir la calidad de vida específica de la fertilidad. La obtención de información fiable sobre el impacto de los problemas de fertilidad permite a los sistemas sociales y sanitarios desarrollar una atención integrada centrada en el valor. Objetivo: El objetivo del presente estudio es examinar la dimensionalidad, validez y fiabilidad del Core FertiQol en una muestra de mujeres españolas en tratamiento de fertilidad. Método: Se realizó un estudio transversal, administrando el cuestionario Core FertiQoL a 564 mujeres con problemas de fertilidad. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos de los datos sociodemográficos y clínicos de la muestra. Se comprobaron las propiedades psicométricas del FertiQoL realizando análisis factoriales confirmatorios, calculando los valores medios de la varianza extraída, la validez, la fiabilidad y los coeficientes de correlación entre escalas. Resultados: Se obtuvieron cuatro factores (Emocional, Mente/Cuerpo, Relacional y Social). Todos los estadísticos presentaron valores adecuados (RMSEA y SRMR inferiores a 0.09 y CFI y TLI superiores a 0.9). La fiabilidad quedó demostrada con el índice CR de cada factor superior a 0.7 y el AVE superior a 0.5. Conclusiones: El Core FertiQol presenta un ajuste aceptable para las mujeres españolas con problemas de fertilidad. Ofrece un canal de comunicación entre profesionales y pacientes, así como información precisa en sus subescalas sobre áreas que pueden reflejar deterioro de la CdV. El FertiQol básico es un instrumento que permite identificar áreas que requieren apoyo, proporcionando información valiosa para el diseño de programas sociosanitarios eficientes centrados en valores para personas con infertilidad.
