    Los guardias de seguridad privada en México perciben elevados niveles de estrés. Sin embargo, el uso de instrumentos validados para evaluar estrés laboral en este colectivo es escaso. Se analizaron las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario DECORE en una muestra de guardias de seguridad mexicanos y su nivel de estrés. Se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal con muestreo no probabilístico por cuotas en el que participaron 933 trabajadores, 596 hombres (63.87%) y 337 mujeres (36.13%), con media de edad de 35 años (DE=11.25). Los resultados mostraron un ajuste adecuado utilizando un modelo con 22 ítems, no así en el modelo de 44 ítems. Para comprobar la validez convergente del DECORE se aplicaron otros cuestionarios (ERIQ, MBI y GHQ). En cuanto al nivel de estrés de los trabajadores evaluados, estos perciben un nivel de moderado a medio-alto. Se recomienda aplicar el cuestionario DECORE en su versión de 22 ítems.

    The private security guards in Mexico perceive high levels of stress. However, the use of validated instruments to assess job stress in this group is scarce. Psychometric properties of the DECORE questionnaire were analyzed in a sample of Mexican private security guards, as well as to examine their level of stress. A cross-sectional study was carried out with a non-probabilistic quota sampling in which 933 workers participated, 596 men and 337 women, with a mean age of 35 years (SD=11.25). The results showed an adequate fit using a 22-item model, but not the 44-item model. To check the convergent validity of the DECORE, other questionnaires were applied (ERIQ, MBI and GHQ). Regarding the level of stress, the workers that participated in the study perceive a moderate to medium-high level of stress. It is recommended to apply the DECORE questionnaire in its 22-item version.
