Marco contextual: El cuidado de personas con demencia (PcD) genera estrés entre los cuidadores familiares (CF). Una de las situaciones que generan este estrés es la pérdida ambigua (PA).
Objetivos: Traducir, adaptar y validar la Escala de Límites Ambiguos (ELA) al portugués europeo y determinar las características psicométricas de la ELA.
Metodología: Estudio metodológico basado en una muestra de 88 CF de PcD. La consistencia interna (CI) se evaluó mediante el coeficiente omega de McDonald (ω), la validez de constructo mediante el análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) y la validez de criterio mediante la Escala de Percepción del Estrés (EPS).
Resultados: La ELA presentó una validez de contenido excelente. El AFE determinó un modelo de dos factores, que explican el 44% de la varianza, ω de 0,72. Los CF que residen con PcD presentan mayor PA (t = 2,823, p < 0,01). Correlación significativa positiva y moderada entre la ELA y la EPS (rs = 0,578, p < 0,01).
Conclusión: La ELA es un instrumento con propiedades psicométricas de CI y validez aceptables para la evaluación de la PA.
