“…The 29‐item mini‐MAC is a refinement of the original MAC scale, and its brevity allows it to be included within a battery of measures or used in clinical settings. The Spanish version of the Mini‐MAC by Costa‐Requena and Gil was used . The mini‐MAC examines five cognitive coping responses: helplessness‐hopelessness (e.g., ‘ I feel like giving up ’), anxious preoccupation (e.g., ‘ I am apprehensive ’), cognitive avoidance (e.g., ‘ Not thinking about it helps me cope ’), fatalism (e.g., ‘ At the moment I take one day at a time ’), and fighting spirit (e.g., ‘ I see my illness as a challenge ’).…”

“…The Spanish version of the Mini-MAC by Costa-Requena and Gil was used. 6 The mini-MAC examines five cognitive coping responses: helplessness-hopelessness (e.g., 'I feel like giving up'), anxious preoccupation (e.g., 'I am apprehensive'), cognitive avoidance (e.g., 'Not thinking about it helps me cope'), fatalism (e.g., 'At the moment I take one day at a time'), and fighting spirit (e.g., 'I see my illness as a challenge'). The numerous studies that have evaluated the mini-MAC's psychometric properties have corroborated the reliability of all five subscales.…”

“…Test Mini-MAC, compuesto por 29 ítems, que evalúa las respuestas cognitivas y comportamentales al cáncer, en escalas de Likert de 4 puntos. Permite identificar las siguientes cinco formas de afrontamiento, en la versión española utilizada, validada por Costa-Requena y Gil (32) En nuestro estudio obtuvimos un valor alfa de Cronbach de 0,74 para el conjunto de la escala.…”

“…Los coeficientes de consistencia interna hallados en las subescalas de más de un ítem fueron satisfactorios (α de Cronbach .65-.84). El MAC ha sido traducido y adaptado a diferentes idiomas y validado en diferentes pobla-ciones (Costa-Requena & Gil, 2009) y es una de las escalas más ampliamente usadas para evaluar el afrontamiento en cáncer.…”
