Abstract

There are few studies on how to evaluate the sensory process in adults; one of these forms is the use of sensory profile developed by Brown and Dunn in 2002, applicable both for the child population and adult English speakers. So far there is no evaluation of sensorial processing of the adult validated in Spanish. Based on this background, the main objective of this study is to validate the internal construction of a sensory processing scale in adults through the Adult Sensory Process Questionnaire (CPSA) with a Spanish-speaking population, and then compare the results with the same test previously assessed in an English-speaking population. The steps in the preparation of this test were the following: 1) translation of the test into Spanish; 2) installation of the test on the Internet and invitation to answer it; 3) analysis of the results using descriptive statistics and analysis of factors to observe differences with the factors developed with the English speakers and 4) comparison between the factors obtained in the test with Hispanic population and with English speaking population. There were 11 factors that represent hypo or hyper response in the sensory systems analyzed. These factors are similar to the factors obtained with the English-speaking population. This test can be used to investigate adult sensory processing difficulties based on the results obtained.
