Abstract

Objective: The aims were to validate linguistically British-English versions of the Perceived Workplace Support Scale (PWSS), Work Accommodations, Benefits, Policies and Practices Scale (WABPPS), and Work Transitions Index (WTI) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), osteoarthritis (OA) and fibromyalgia (FM).

Methods: The three scales were adapted into British-English and reviewed by an expert panel prior to cognitive debriefing interviews. Participants completed postal questionnaires. Construct validity for the PWSS was assessed using Rasch analysis. Concurrent validity included testing between the three scales and work, job strain and work-life balance scales. Two weeks later, participants were mailed a second questionnaire to measure test-retest reliability.

Results: The questionnaire was completed by 831 employed participants: 68% women, 53.50 (SD 8.9) years of age, with condition duration 7.70 (SD 8.00) years. The PWSS satisfied Rasch model requirements. Concurrent validity was mostly as hypothesised, that is, weak to moderate negative correlations for the PWSS (rs  = 0.07 to -0.61), and weak to moderate positive correlations for the WABPPS and WTI (rs  = 0.20-0.52). Some correlations were stronger, mostly in axSpA. Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) for all three scales was consistent with group use in all conditions. Test-retest reliability was generally excellent, with intraclass coefficients (2,1) of 0.80-0.93 for the three scales in the four conditions.

Discussion: Reliable, valid versions of the British-English PWSS, WABPPS, and WTI are now available for use in research, organisational level studies and vocational rehabilitation.

针对四种风湿和肌肉骨骼疾病,对英式英语感知工作场所支持量表、工作适应、福利、政策和做法量表以及工作转换指数进行心理测试。
目的目的是对类风湿关节炎(RA)、轴性脊柱关节炎(axSpA)、骨关节炎(OA)和纤维肌痛(FM)患者的感知工作场所支持量表(PWSS)、工作适应、福利、政策和实践量表(WABPPS)以及工作转换指数(WTI)的英英语言版本进行验证:方法:将三个量表改编成英式英语,并在认知汇报访谈前由专家小组进行审核。参与者填写邮寄问卷。采用 Rasch 分析法对 PWSS 的结构效度进行了评估。同时有效性包括三个量表与工作、工作压力和工作与生活平衡量表之间的测试。两周后,我们向参与者邮寄了第二份问卷,以测量测试-再测试的可靠性:共有 831 名受访者完成了问卷调查:68%为女性,年龄为 53.50 (SD 8.9)岁,工龄为 7.70 (SD 8.00)年。公共工程和社会服务调查问卷符合 Rasch 模型的要求。并发有效性大多与假设相符,即 PWSS 存在弱到中等程度的负相关(rs = 0.07 到 -0.61),WABPPS 和 WTI 存在弱到中等程度的正相关(rs = 0.20-0.52)。有些相关性更强,主要是在 axSpA 中。所有三个量表的内部一致性(Cronbach's alpha)与所有情况下的团体使用一致。在四种情况下,三个量表的类内系数(2,1)为 0.80-0.93:讨论:可靠、有效的英英 PWSS、WABPPS 和 WTI 现已可用于研究、组织层面的研究和职业康复。
