| Abstract (English): |
Objective: To develop and examine the psychometric properties of a brief scale for assessing cancer acceptance in a sample of patients with sarcoma. Method: One hundred seven adult patients diagnosed with sarcoma completed the cancer acceptance scale along with measures of anxiety, depression, emotional distress, and health-related quality of life. Internal structure was tested with confirmatory factor analysis; internal consistency was estimated with Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega; convergent validity was examined via Spearman correlations with psychological adjustment variables. Results: The final version comprised 9 items and showed a unidimensional structure with excellent model fit (χ²(23) = 18.16; CFI = 0.992; TLI = 0.987; RMSEA = 0.036). Internal consistency was satisfactory (α = 0.85; ω = 0.83). Cancer acceptance correlated negatively with anxiety (ρ = -0.59) and depression (ρ = -0.61) and positively with global quality of life (ρ = 0.43). Conclusions: The brief Cancer Acceptance Scale demonstrates adequate reliability and convergent validity and may be a useful tool for clinical assessment and research in oncology populations.

Objetivo: Desarrollar y analizar las propiedades psicométricas de una escala breve para evaluar la aceptación del cáncer en pacientes con sarcoma. Método: Participaron 107 pacientes adultos con diagnóstico de sarcoma que completaron la escala de aceptación junto con medidas de ansiedad, depresión, distrés emocional y calidad de vida. Se examinó la estructura interna mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio y la consistencia interna mediante alfa de Cronbach y omega de McDonald; la validez convergente se evaluó mediante correlaciones con variables de ajuste psicológico. Resultados: La versión final incluyó 9 ítems y mostró una estructura unifactorial con excelente ajuste (χ²(23) = 18,16; CFI =,992; TLI =,987; RMSEA =,036). La consistencia interna fue satisfactoria (α =,85; ω =,83). La puntuación de aceptación se asoció negativamente con ansiedad (ρ = -,59) y depresión (ρ = -,61) y positivamente con calidad de vida (ρ =,43). Conclusiones: El instrumento breve presenta evidencia de fiabilidad y validez convergente y puede ser una herramienta útil para la evaluación clínica e investigadora en población oncológica.
