Resumen
The main objective of this study was to estimate the psychometric properties of the
Emotional Fatigue Scale (ECE) in a sample of 1308 Chilean university students and confirm the
unifactorial structure of the scale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out.
The ECE assessment had an internal consistency of 0.893 (Cronbach’s Alpha). An exploratory factor
analysis with Varimax rotation and a confirmatory analysis were performed, obtaining the factor
that explains 52.3% of the variance. The results indicated that the ECE has adequate psychometric
properties for use with higher education students in Chile. The ECE scale has good psychometric
properties to be applied in the Chilean university context. Its usage may be very relevant to contribute
to higher education institutions to emphasize students’ mental health and prevent possible severe
pathologies in future professionals. It is suggested to use the ECE scale together with the EES-Int,
which is the only interpretation table for this instrument
