Objective Although widely used, the validity of the Coping Ways Checklist (WCC) is a persistent problem.

Methods By studying a sample (n=285) obtained from a population that had experienced the same traumatic event (an earthquake), using with parallel factor analysis and exploratory structure model (ESEM), a scale of 46 items was obtained: Ways of the Coping Checklist after a disaster (WCC-D).

Results The results indicate a valid model of six dimensions and two dimensions correlated with the post-traumatic stress scale used as criterion.

Discussion The good properties of the WCC-D and its relationship to posttraumatic stress were discussed. The WCC-D is made available in a format ready to be applied and reviewed by health personnel.

Métodos Mediante el estudio de una muestra (n=285) obtenida de una población que había experimentado el mismo evento traumático (un terremoto), utilizando un análisis factorial paralelo y un modelo exploratorio de ecuaciones estructurales (ESEM), se obtuvo una escala de 46 ítems: Ways of the Coping Checklist after a Disaster (WCC-D).

Resultados Los resultados indican un modelo válido de seis dimensiones y dimensiones correlacionadas con la escala de estrés postraumático utilizada como criterio.

Discusión Se discutieron las buenas propiedades de la WCC-D y su relación con el estrés postraumático. Se deja la WCC-D disponible en un formato listo para ser aplicada y revisada por personal de salud.
