Psychometric properties of family functionality in adults

Apgar of adults applied in chilean university students

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the Apgar family functionality psychometric scale and its relationship with performance and contingency. For this, an exploratory instrument called Family was developed, which measured family functionality in times of pandemic. The Apgar and Family instruments will be applied in Chilean university students, relating both instruments to each other and to academic performance. The Apgar instrument showed Cronbach's alpha measures = 0.864 and KMO = 0.858. The Family instrument showed Cronbach's alpha measures 0.449 and KMO = 0.553. The Pearson match between Family and Apgar was 0.599, positive and highly significant. Conclusion: the Apgar instrument showed high reliability, not the Family instrument. Family functionality in times of pandemic reveals not to be related to academic performance.
