To test a new Caregiver Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ). On the basis of the original WLQ, this new survey instrument assesses the effect of caregiving for ill and/or disabled persons on the caregiver's work performance.
A questionnaire was administered anonymously to employees of a large business services company. Scale reliability and validity were tested with psychometric methods.
Of 4128 survey participants, 18.3% currently were caregivers, 10.2% were past caregivers, and 71.5% were not caregivers. Current caregivers were limited in their ability to perform basic job tasks between mean 10.3% and 16.8% of the time. Confirmatory factor analysis yielded a scale structure similar to the WLQ's. Scales reliabilities (the Cronbach's α) ranged from 0.91 to 0.95.
The Caregiver WLQ is a new tool for understanding the workplace effect of caregiving.
测试一种新的照顾者工作限制问卷(WLQ)。基于原始的WLQ,这种新的调查问卷评估了照顾生病和/或残疾人士对照顾者工作表现的影响。
对一家大型商业服务公司的员工进行了匿名问卷调查。采用心理测量方法测试量表的信度和效度。
在4128名调查参与者中,18.3%目前是照顾者,10.2%曾是照顾者,71.5%不是照顾者。目前的照顾者在执行基本工作任务的能力上平均有10.3%至16.8%的时间受到限制。验证性因素分析得出的量表结构与WLQ相似。量表信度(克朗巴哈α系数)在0.91至0.95之间。
照顾者WLQ是一种了解照顾工作对职场影响的新工具。
