Resumen
Background Signincant consequences of COVID-19 within academic/professional life are, at the
psychological level, related to worry, tension, stress; coping strategies and lifestyle changes.
This study describes the process of design and validation of an inventory (QPIC), which aims to
assess the psychological impact that a situation of connnement can produce among university
students and teachers.
Methods Design of the instrument and psychometric tests. A sample of 862 students and 229
professors affiliated to Spanish and Colombian universities was used. Data were collected in April
2020 with the request of the favourable Bioethics Committee IR/2020.
Results Six experts carried out the content validation. A connrmatory factor analysis of the
theoretical dimensions proposed for the scales was performed and the interna! consistency of each
of the three initial scales was connrmed (0.866, 0.813 and 0.834).
Conclusion A rigorous and reliable instrument is achieved, consisting of two final scales: (a)
Worry, tension and stress scale (b) Coping scale, which helps to measure individual psychological
effects in housebound situations. lt is an instrument designed, constructed ad hoc to assess the
impact of connnement and subjected to validation.The factor structure and reliability of the
instrumentare examined and good psychometric properties are obtained.The application of this
inventory will make it possible to assess the impact on people's mental health during a period of
connnement.
