Abstract

Objectives

Translation of the Professional Fulfillment Index (PFI) into Japanese would be more useful than the currently developed scales for appropriately measuring burnout and professional fulfillment in healthcare professionals. This study aimed to develop the Japanese version of the PFI and examine its internal consistency, structural validity, and convergent validity in healthcare professionals.

Methods

Healthcare professionals in Japan were recruited online. The survey was conducted from October to November 2022. Internal consistency was tested using Cronbach's α. Structural validity was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Convergent validity was tested using Pearson's correlation coefficients, which were calculated between each score of the PFI scale and burnout (the Japanese Burnout Scale: JBS), depressive symptoms (the Patient Health Questionnaire-9), and QOL (the General Health Questionnaire-12).

Results

The Cronbach's alpha was .91 in professional fulfillment, .80 in burnout: work exhaustion, .90 in burnout: interpersonal disengagement, and .89 in burnout: total score. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a modest fit, and EFA yielded a three-factor structure the same as the original PFI. The all three subscales and total score of burnout were significantly correlated with the scores of all the scales (p < .001; e.g., burnout: work exhaustion correlated emotional exhaustion in JBS, r = .71).

Conclusions

The Japanese version of the PFI demonstrated acceptable high internal consistency, structural validity, and convergent validity of the scale with a three-factor structure the same as in the original PFI. The Japanese version of PFI proved to be reliable and valid for use in healthcare professionals.

医疗保健专业人员专业履行指数日语版的可靠性和有效性：一项验证研究。

目的：将职业成就指数（PFI）翻译成日语，将比目前开发的量表更有用，可以适当衡量医疗保健专业人员的倦怠和职业成就。本研究旨在开发日本版PFI，并在医疗保健专业人员中检验其内部一致性、结构有效性和收敛有效性。方法：在网上招募日本的医疗保健专业人员。该调查于2022年10月至11月进行。使用Cronbachα检验内部一致性。采用验证性因素分析和探索性因素分析对结构有效性进行检验。使用Pearson相关系数检验聚合有效性，该系数计算PFI量表的每个分数与倦怠（日本倦怠量表：JBS）、抑郁症状（患者健康问卷-9）和生活质量（一般健康问卷-12）之间的关系，职业倦怠90分：人际脱离，职业倦怠89分：总分。验证性因素分析显示出适度的拟合，全民教育产生了与原始PFI相同的三因素结构。倦怠的三个分量表和总分与所有量表的得分均显著相关（p 结论：日语版PFI显示出可接受的高度内部一致性、结构有效性和收敛有效性，三因素结构与原始PFI相同。日本版本的PFI被证明是可靠和有效的，可用于医疗保健专业人员。
