%X El prop車sito de este estudio es avanzar en la construcci車n del Inventario de Distr谷s Emocional (IDE) como un instrumento de screening, f芍cilmente accesible, administrable, y psicom谷tricamente v芍lido y confiable, en la medici車n del distr谷s emocional en pacientes con c芍ncer. Se llev車 a cabo un an芍lisis factorial mediante componentes principales y m谷todo de rotaci車n promax en una muestra de 238 pacientes con c芍ncer que iniciaron sus tratamientos con radioterapia y/o quimioterapia en el Hospital Morton Plant en la ciudad de Clearwater, Florida, EE. UU. Los resultados obtenidos nos indican que el IDE presenta una estructura factorial consistente con el marco conceptual en el cual se bas車 la construcci車n del instrumento, como tambi谷n un elevado nivel de consistencia interna y validez convergente. -- The purpose of this study is to evaluate the factor structure of the Emotional Distress Inventory (EDI) in a sample of 238 cancer patients. The conceptual framework that guided the development of the EDI, factor structure, internal consistency, and convergent validity are reported. Emotional distress items were developed and administered to cancer patients who initiated chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments at Morton Plant Hospital Cancer Center in Clearwater, Florida, USA. Item responses were examined by factor analyses of principal components with promax rotations. The EDI presents three subscales that assess anxiety/depression, hopelessness, and anger expression as components of emotional distress. We also discuss the important implications of these subscales, particularly the inclusion of anger expression and hopelessness in the assessment of emotional distress in cancer patients.
