Resumo

Há ampla evidência sobre as consequências da falta de água segura na saúde e bem-estar das populações, o que justifica a necessidade de avançar na construção de novos instrumentos de medição. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a validade de aparência da Escala HWISE para medir a insegurança hídrica na Argentina. Foram implementados quatro grupos focais com 24 mulheres residentes em áreas vulneráveis da Grande Buenos Aires, às quais foi administrada a escala. Os resultados refletem a amplitude das dimensões do fenômeno no discurso das participantes, e a formulação dos itens foi compreendida. A escala HWISE representa o fenômeno a partir da perspectiva de mulheres em situação de vulnerabilidade social, mas requer ajustes. Os itens são compreendidos e abrangem a abrangência do fenômeno, embora sejam identificadas áreas para melhorar sua precisão.
