There are not enough reliable and valid instruments to evaluate the factors involved in child maltreatment in Chile. In particular, there is a lack of instruments that focus on the role of governmental and non-governmental insti-tutions in protecting and supporting abused children. For this reason,...

In particular, there is a lack of instruments that focus on the role of governmental and non-governmental insti-tutions in protecting and supporting abused children. For this reason, the objective of the study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of an instrument that assesses in-stitutional social support in cases of severe child maltreat-ment (I-APSI). Data from 544 children and adolescents that were receiving treatment in specialized centers in Chile was contemplated. I-APSI and two instruments assessing relat-ed constructs were applied. The results support the factorial validity of the instrument, its convergent validity and its re-liability. These results should be considered as preliminary, and the psychometric properties of the instrument should be further investigated in the future. En Chile no existen suficientes instrumentos que evalúen de forma confiable y válida los factores involucrados en el maltrato infantil. En particular hay carencia de instrumentos que se centren en el rol que juegan las instituciones gubernamentales y no gubernamentales en la protección y apoyo a niños maltratados. Por esta razón el objetivo del estudio fue evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de un instrumento para evaluar el apoyo social institucional en casos de maltrato infantil grave (I-APSI). Se consideraron los datos de 544 niños, niñas y adolescentes atendidos en centros especializados en Chile. Se aplicaron el I-APSI y dos instrumentos que evalúan constructos relacionados. Los resultados apoyan la validez factorial del instrumento, su validez convergente y su confiabilidad. Pese a lo alentador de estos resultados, se debe considerar que el estudio es preliminar y se debe seguir profundizando en las propiedades psicométricas del instrumento. Facultad de Psicología.
