| Abstract (English): | Introduction. Internet-based psychological interventions are an effective option for treating mental health problems. Identifying the acceptability of these services makes it possible to improve their design and user adherence. However, only a few psychometric instruments exist to evaluate this acceptability. Objective. To design and evaluate the psychometric properties of an internet-based psychological interventions questionnaire, based on the theory of technology acceptance. Method. The study was divided into three parts: 1) Design of instrument items, 2) analysis of psychometric properties and exploratory factor analysis, and 3) confirmatory factor analysis. Results. The instrument proved to have adequate psychometric properties, with the following goodness-of-fit measurements: χ²/df = 168.92/74 = 2.28, CFI = .935, TLI = .920, RMSEA = .080, 95% CI [.64, .096]. The analysis of internal consistency found an α = .91 for the total scale, an α = .91 for the first factor, "Approval of use," an α = .79 for the second factor, "Perceived usefulness," and an α = .59 for the third factor, "Perceived risk." Discussion and conclusion. The evaluation of factors associated with greater acceptability is a potential tool for improving awareness of the use of online psychological interventions.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Introducción. Las intervenciones psicológicas a través de Internet son una opción eficaz para tratar distintos problemas de salud mental. Identificar la aceptabilidad de estos servicios por parte de los usuarios permite mejorar su diseño y la adherencia de los usuarios. Sin embargo, existen pocos instrumentos psicométricos para evaluar esta aceptabilidad. Objetivo. Diseñar y evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de un instrumento de aceptabilidad para las intervenciones psicológicas en línea, basado en la teoría de la aceptación de la tecnología. Método. El estudio se dividió en tres partes: 1) Elaboración de los ítems del instrumento, 2) análisis de las propiedades psicométricas y análisis factorial exploratorio, y 3) análisis factorial confirmatorio. Resultados. Se muestra que el instrumento tiene propiedades psicométricas adecuadas, con las siguientes medidas de bondad de ajuste: χ²/df = 168.92/74 = 2.28, CFI = .935, TLI = .920, RMSEA = .080, IC 95% [.64, .096]. El análisis de consistencia interna encontró un α = .91 para la escala total, α = .91 para el primer factor, "Aprobación de uso", α = .79 para el segundo factor, "Utilidad percibida", y α = .59 para el tercer factor, "Riesgo percibido". Discusión y conclusión. La evaluación de los factores asociados a una mayor aceptabilidad es una herramienta potencial para mejorar la concienciación sobre el uso de intervenciones psicológicas en línea.
