Resumen
La salud percibida, definida como la evaluación subjetiva de un individuo sobre su propio estado de salud físico y/o mental, está relacionada profundamente con el bienestar general y la adopción de comportamientos saludables. El presente estudio tuvo por objetivo evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario General de Salud (GHQ 30) en estudiantes de tres universidades de la Ciudad de México. La investigación tuvo un diseño exploratorio ex post facto y por medio de un muestreo no probabilístico se reclutaron 299 estudiantes univer-sitarios hombres y mujeres, de 18 a 25 años de los cuales 144 (48%) fueron hombres y 159 (53%) fueron mujeres. El análisis de datos mostró una adecuada consistencia interna (α= .86), una estructura de cuatro factores que miden síntomas de depresión, sentimientos de incompetencia, ansiedad y alteraciones del sueño, que explicó el 61.2% de la varianza y el análisis factorial confirmatorio arrojó adecuados índices de bondad de ajuste (X2 entre los grados de libertad = 206.312/127= 1.62, CFI = .94, RMSEA = .05 [IC = .041 - .068], NFI = .87; IFI = .94). En conclusión, el instrumento es adecuado para evaluar la salud percibida en estudiantes universitarios mexicanos.
