dc.description.abstractThe Fear COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) is a tool that assesses fears related to COVID-19. The objective was to know the validity and reliability of the FCV-19S in Colombian physicians. Five hundred thirty-one physicians aged between 21 and 69 years participated (M=30.0, SD=9.4). Internal consistency was estimated with Kuder-Richardson and McDonald’s omega coefficients. The one-dimensional structure was corroborated with confirmatory factor analysis and goodness of fit coefficients. The FCV-19S showed Kuder-Richardson’s coefficient of 0.16 and McDonald’s omega of 0.42. The five-item version (FCV-19S-5), without items 3 and 7, showed Kuder-Richardson’s coefficient of 0.67 and McDonald’s omega of 0.68. In conclusion, the FCV-19S presented a poor psychometric performance in Colombian doctors, and the FCV-19S-5 showed acceptable internal consistency and dimensionality
