Objective: To validate, for the Colombian population, the content of the 29-item Sense of Coherence scale, which measures the ability of people to take advantage of material and immaterial resources available for them to face the stimuli present throughout life. Methodology: Instrument validation research, carried out under the expert judgment technique. The procedure contains five steps: preparation of instructions and worksheet, selection of experts, explanation of the context, discussion, and establishment of agreements. The quality criteria assessed for content validation were: “pertinence,” “relevance,” “usefulness,” “sufficiency,” “clarity,” and “appearance.” Informed consent was obtained from all the participants. Results: The Sense of Coherence scale was adapted according to certain terms from the semantic and syntactic point of view, and according to the tests carried out, it has good internal consistency, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.838 and a global value of the content validity index considered as essential of 0.83. Conclusions: The quantitative and qualitative findings of the validation process confirm that the scale version in Spanish can be applied in the Colombian population with the aim of measuring the sense of coherence, understood as the ability to take advantage of resources to face stimuli.
