The 10-item version of Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) is a widely used tool to measure stress. The Malay version of the PSS-10 has been validated among Malaysian Medical Students. However, studies have not been conducted to assess its validity in occupational settings.
The aim of this study is to assess the psychometric properties of the Malay version of the PSS-10 in two occupational setting in Malaysia.
This study was conducted among 191 medical residents and 513 railway workers. An exploratory factor analysis was performed using the principal component method with varimax rotation. Correlation analyses, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin, Bartlett's test of Sphericity and Cronbach's alpha were obtained. Statistical analysis was carried out using statistical package for the social sciences version 16 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA) software.
Analysis yielded two factor structure of the Malay version of PSS-10 in both occupational groups. The two factors accounted for 59.2% and 64.8% of the variance in the medical residents and the railway workers respectively. Factor loadings were greater than 0.59 in both occupational groups. Cronbach's alpha co-efficient was 0.70 for medical residents and 0.71 for railway workers.
The Malay version of PSS-10 had adequate psychometric properties and can be used to measure stress among occupational settings in Malaysia.
感知压力量表10项版本(PSS - 10)是一种广泛用于测量压力的工具。PSS - 10的马来语版本已在马来西亚医科学生中得到验证。然而,尚未开展研究评估其在职业环境中的有效性。
本研究旨在评估PSS - 10马来语版本在马来西亚两种职业环境中的心理测量特性。
本研究在191名住院医师和513名铁路工人中进行。采用主成分法并进行方差最大化旋转进行探索性因素分析。获得了相关分析、Kaiser - Meyer - Olkin检验、Bartlett球形检验和Cronbach's α系数。使用社会科学统计软件包第16版(SPSS,美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥)软件进行统计分析。
两个职业群体中PSS - 10马来语版本的分析均得出两因素结构。这两个因素分别解释了住院医师和铁路工人中59.2%和64.8%的方差。两个职业群体中的因素载荷均大于0.59。住院医师的Cronbach's α系数为0.70,铁路工人为0.71。
PSS - 10马来语版本具有足够的心理测量特性,可用于测量马来西亚职业环境中的压力。
