| Abstract (English): | Introduction: The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is one of the most widely used instruments for assessing emotional stress in health-related contexts. However, few studies have examined its psychometric performance among Colombian healthcare workers. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) in a sample of healthcare personnel from Cartagena de Indias -- Colombia. Materials and Methods: An instrumental study was conducted with a sample of 550 healthcare professionals, selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling. The data adequacy, dimensionality, internal validity, and factorial structure of the instrument were evaluated. A total of 50 participants were excluded due to temporary incapacity or self-reported restrictions preventing completion of the questionnaire. Results: Two dimensions were identified: perceived stress and coping capacity, which explained 72.58 % of the total variance. Data adequacy was satisfactory (KMO = 0.78; p < 0.01), and the fit indices indicated a good model fit (χ²/df = 1.16; cfi = 0.99; TLI = 0.98; NFI = 0.96; SRMR = 0.06; RMSEA = 0.05). The overall internal consistency was high (α = 0.86; ω = 0.86). Conclusions: The PSS-10 demonstrated robust psychometric properties among Colombian healthcare workers, supporting its use in clinical, research, and occupational health settings.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Introducción: la Escala de Estrés Percibido (EEP) es uno de los instrumentos más utilizados para medir el estrés emocional en contextos de salud; sin embargo, pocos estudios analizan su desempeño psicométrico en personal sociosanitario colombiano. El objetivo de este trabajo fue examinar las evidencias psicométricas de la EEP-10 en una muestra de trabajadores del sector de la salud de Cartagena de Indias (Colombia). Materiales y métodos: se desarrolló un estudio instrumental, con una muestra de 550 profesionales sociosanitarios, seleccionados mediante muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Se evaluó idoneidad de los datos, dimensionalidad, validez interna y estructura factorial del instrumento. Se excluyeron 50 participantes por incapacidad temporal o restricciones para completar los cuestionarios. Resultados: se identificaron dos dimensiones: 1) percepción del estrés y 2) capacidad de afrontamiento, las cuales explicaron el 72.58 % de la varianza total. La idoneidad de los datos fue adecuada (kmo = 0.78; p < 0.01) y los índices de ajuste mostraron valores satisfactorios (χ²/gl = 1.16; CFI = 0.99; TLI = 0.98; NFI = 0.96; SRMR = 0.06; RMSEA = 0.05). La consistencia interna global fue elevada (α = 0.86; ω = 0.86). Conclusiones: la EEP-10 presenta propiedades psicométricas sólidas en personal sociosanitario colombiano, lo que respalda su uso en contextos clínicos, investigativos y de salud ocupacional.

| Abstract (Portuguese): | Introdução: a Escala de Estresse Percebido (EEP) é um dos instrumentos mais utilizados para avaliar o estresse emocional em contextos de saúde. No entanto, poucos estudos analisaram seu desempenho psicométrico em profissionais de saúde colombianos. O objetivo deste estudo foi examinar as evidências psicométricas da eep-10 em uma amostra de trabalhadores do setor de saúde de Cartagena das Índias, Colômbia. Materiais e métodos: foi realizado um estudo instrumental com uma amostra de 550 profissionais de saúde, selecionados por amostragem não probabilística por conveniência. Avaliaram-se a adequação dos dados, a dimensionalidade, a consistência interna e a estrutura fatorial do instrumento. Foram excluídos 50 participantes devido à afastamento temporário ou restrições autorreferidas para responder aos questionários. Resultados: foram identificadas duas dimensões: percepção do estresse e capacidade de enfrentamento -- que explicaram 72,58 % da variância total. A adequação dos dados foi satisfatória (kmo = 0.78; p < 0.01) e os índices de ajuste indicaram um bom ajuste do modelo (χ²/gl = 1.16; CFI = 0.99; TLI = 0.98; NFI = 0.96; SRMR = 0.06; RMSEA = 0.05). A consistência interna global foi elevada (α = 0.86; ω = 0.86). Conclusões: a eep-10 demonstrou propriedades psicométricas robustas em profissionais de saúde colombianos, apoiando seu uso em contextos clínicos, de pesquisa e de saúde ocupacional.
