Abstract

El creciente desarrollo de la psicofisiología exige metodologías cada vez más asequibles para su utilización en el ámbito clínico. Este trabajo presenta la elaboración de una batería de evaluación psicofisiológica exploratoria (el Perfil de Estrés) adaptada a las características del quehacer clínico, que permite la evaluación del componente psicofisiológico de una forma relativamente sencilla. La utilización del análisis factorial para el análisis de los registros posibilita la obtención de perfiles o patrones psicofisiológicos basados en la covariación entre respuestas psicofisiológicas pertenecientes a diversos sistemas. Los factores identificados muestran patrones de activación relevantes, que ofrecen una visión global del funcionamiento psicofisiológico de la muestra evaluada, y pueden considerarse datos normativos de la población de referencia.

Development of a practical exploratory battery for psychophysiological assessment. As the expanding field of psychophysiology is currently demanding applied methodologies to be used in the clinic, this study aimed to develop a practical multi-channel exploratory battery for psychophysiological evaluation of stress (the Stress Profile-SP). The SP records six psychophysiological variables and it is designed to be mainly used in the daily clinic. Furthermore, the SP is a quick and easy-to-use instrument that has shown adequate internal consistency. Factorial analysis has been applied to obtain psychophysiological profiles based on the covariation among different systems responses. The identified factorial structure shows relevant activation patterns, offering a comprehensive view of the sample functioning. The structure is consistent through samples and can be considered as normative data for the studied population. The Stress Profile can be considered as a method to obtain normative and individual psychophysiological patterns, providing relevant information for the therapeutic process.
