Resumo
Introdução: O Brasil é o país mais ansioso do mundo, com cerca de 9,3% da população com sintomatologia ansiosa. Estes dados indicam a necessidade de testes psicológicos. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar as qualidades psicométricas do GAD-7. Método: Participaram 545 adultos, com idade de 18 a 76 anos (M = 37; DP = 12,9). Foi utilizado CFA com intuito de verificar a estrutura interna. O escore da GAD-7 foi correlacionado com medidas externas. Por fim, foram comparadas as médias do grupo sem histórico de transtorno psiquiátrico (1) com as pessoas com histórico de transtorno psiquiátrico (2). Resultados: A solução unifatorial apresentou adequação nesta amostra. A GAD-7 apresentou correlação significativa, positiva e de forte magnitude com depressão e medida geral de saúde mental e negativa com bem-estar. O grupo de pessoas com histórico de tratamento psiquiátrico apresentou maior média. Conclusão: Os resultados deste estudo indicam adequação psicométrica da GAD-7.
