ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to examine the validity evidence of the Children’s Depression Inventory-Short (CDI-S; Kovacs, 1992), in Peruvian school children. A total of 1059 children between 7 and 12 years old participated (Mean = 9.73, SD = 1.23). The results revealed the existence of two factors related to strong loads in the exploratory factor analysis, which were corroborated by confirmatory factor analysis with good goodness-of-fit indices (CFI ≥ .97, RMSEA ≤ .04). The reliability of the CDI-S, calculated with the internal consistency method, was good in both factors (ω > .80). We conclude that the CDI-S is a valid and reliable measure in Peruvian children and should be interpreted as a test with two factors (Dysphoria and Negative self-esteem), which is consistent with previous empirical and theoretical studies.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (a novel coronavirus), which was first identified amid an outbreak of respiratory illness cases in Wuhan, China and declared a global health emergency, is currently considered an additional challenge in the management of patients with breast cancer (BC). Cancer patients are more vulnerable to becoming infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and are more likely to suffer additional complications that can increase mortality. Identifying those BC patients who require more urgent therapy than others in the current situation is essential. These recommendations are based on and have been adapted from those similarly published by international scientific societies for BC management. They are divided mainly by clinical stage (early, advanced), subtype [lumi...
