    El presente trabajo estudia la adaptación española de la Escala Multiaxial de Afrontamiento Estratégico (Strategic Approach to Coping Scale; SACS), desarrollada por Hobfoll y su equipo. Se trata de un instrumento derivado de la Teoría de la Conservación de los Recursos de Hobfoll, que enfatiza la contribución de factores sociales al proceso de afrontamiento. El cuestionario evalúa la preferencia por estrategias de afrontamiento, a partir de 9 escalas que se organizan en tres dimensiones: orientación al problema (activo/pasivo), uso de recursos sociales (prosocial/antisocial) y orientación a otros implicados (directo/indirecto). La adaptación española se administró a una muestra de población no-clínica (N= 767) y encontró una estructura de 7 subescalas, estructuradas en las dimensiones prosocial/antisocial, activo/pasivo y reflexivo/intuitivo, con adecuada fiabilidad y validez de constructo. En conclusión, la Escala Multiaxial de Afrontamiento Estratégico parece un instrumento potencialmente útil y fiable para la clínica y la investigación, principalmente en ámbitos donde es necesario prestar atención a los componentes sociales del problema.

    The present research adapted the Strategic Approach to Coping Scale (SACS), developed by Hobfoll and colleagues, to the Spanish population. SACS is an instrument derived from Hobfoll�s Conservation of Resources Theory, which emphasises the contribution of social factors to coping processes. This instrument assesses coping strategies in 9-subscales, organised in three dimensions: orientation to the problem (active/passive), use of social resources (prosocial/antisocial), and orientation to others involved (direct/indirect). The Spanish version, administered to a non-clinical sample (N= 767), found 7-subscales structured in prosocial/antisocial, active/passive and reflexive/intuitive dimensions, with adequate reliability and construct validity. To conclude, the Spanish SACS is a potentially useful and reliable instrument for research and clinical purposes, mainly in areas in which social components need to be explicitly considered.
