| Abstract (English): |
Hikikomori syndrome is characterized by prolonged social withdrawal that may have personal and community consequences. This study aimed to linguistically and culturally adapt the 25-item Hikikomori Questionnaire (HQ-25) and evaluate its psychometric properties among Peruvian university students. An instrumental, quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted. The adapted version was assessed by 15 experts and then administered to a pilot group of 50 students. Construct validation was performed in a sample of 291 students using exploratory factor analysis. Three factors were identified: isolation, socialization, and emotional support. The final version consisted of 18 items. Overall reliability was α= 0.898; reliability coefficients were α= 0.853 for isolation, α= 0.837 for socialization, and α= 0.748 for emotional support. The adapted HQ-25 showed adequate evidence of validity and reliability for assessing characteristics associated with hikikomori syndrome among Peruvian university students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
El síndrome de hikikomori se caracteriza por un aislamiento social prolongado que puede generar repercusiones personales y comunitarias. El objetivo de este estudio fue adaptar lingüística y culturalmente el cuestionario HQ-25 y evaluar sus propiedades psicométricas en estudiantes universitarios peruanos. Se realizó un estudio instrumental, cuantitativo y transversal. La adaptación fue sometida a juicio de 15 expertos y posteriormente se aplicó a un grupo piloto de 50 estudiantes. La validación del constructo se efectuó en una muestra de 291 estudiantes mediante análisis factorial exploratorio. Se identificaron tres factores: aislamiento, socialización y soporte emocional. La versión final quedó conformada por 18 ítems. La confiabilidad global fue α= 0,898; por dimensiones, se obtuvieron valores de α= 0,853 para aislamiento, α= 0,837 para socialización y α= 0,748 para soporte emocional. Se concluye que la versión adaptada del HQ-25 presenta evidencias adecuadas de validez y confiabilidad para evaluar características asociadas al síndrome de hikikomori en estudiantes universitarios peruanos.
