Abstract

Background: The study has two main aims: (1) to analyze and validate the factor structure of the Fear of COVID-19, Workplace health and safety training, and Behavioral Safety Compliance scales (Study 1) in frontline Spanish COVID-19 workers from different sectors (food sector, hospitals, and death care services); and (2) to analyze and validate the factor structure of a reduced version of these scales (Study 2) in Spanish workers in the healthcare sector.

Method: Analyses carried out using R 1.4.2. allowed us to validate the factor structure of the scales in the two studies. The sample consisted of 361 participants in study 1; and 708 participants in study 2.

Results: The results indicate that the instruments offer adequate evidence of reliability and validity.

Conclusions: The questionnaire (especially the short version) can be used by employees who were in frontline of COVID-19 in a reliable and valid way in the post-COVID-19 period, and even to prevent potential similar events that might threaten professionals' physical and mental health in the future.

面对恐惧，拥抱安全：COVID-19社会心理量表在大流行期间基本前线工作者中的验证。

研究背景：本研究有两个主要目的：（1）分析并验证来自不同行业（食品行业、医院和死亡护理服务）的西班牙 COVID-19 一线工人对 COVID-19、工作场所健康与安全培训以及行为安全合规性量表的因子结构（研究 1）；（2）分析并验证这些量表的简化版在西班牙医疗保健行业工人中的因子结构（研究 2）：通过使用 R 1.4.2 进行分析，我们验证了两项研究中量表的因子结构。研究 1 的样本包括 361 名参与者；研究 2 的样本包括 708 名参与者：结果表明，问卷具有充分的信度和效度：该调查问卷（尤其是简短版）可在 COVID-19 事件后以可靠有效的方式用于 COVID-19 事件的一线员工，甚至可用于预防未来可能发生的威胁专业人员身心健康的类似事件。
