Abstract: Introduction: The RED-Technostress Questionnaire evaluates the real distortions in the interaction of adult users of technologies. It has not been adapted or validated for the Cuban context. Methods: In this work this questionnaire is validated in workers of the Cuban IT sector. Expert consultation, concordance coefficients and factor analysis were carried out to determine reliability and validity. Results: The content validity coefficient (≥ 0.70) shows the relevance of all the items according to 8 experts, who made observations to improve the wording. In piloting, 37 people participated and adequate reliability was obtained (α = 0.832). In the application 141 people participated and high overall reliability was obtained (α = 0.761), as well as by dimensions, Fatigue (α = 0.874), Anxiety (α = 0.741), Inefficacy (α = 0.792) and Addiction (α = 0.744). In the Skepticism dimension, an inadequate value was reached (α = 0.249). The exploratory factor analysis partially reproduced the dimensional structure. The confirmatory factor analysis obtained a good model fit. Conclusions: The evaluated questionnaire has adequate psychometric properties of reliability and validity for the Cuban context.
