This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the Work Functioning Impairment Scale (WFun), a questionnaire to detect workers with health problems which affect their work, using an assessment by an occupational health nurse as objective standard.
The WFun was completed by 294 employees. The nurse interviewed to assess 1) health problems; 2) effects of health on their work; necessity for 3) treatment, 4) health care instruction, and 5) consideration of job accommodation.
The odds ratio in the high work functioning impairment group compared with the low was highly statistically significant with 9.05, 10.26, 5.77, 9.37, and 14.70, respectively. The WFun demonstrated the high detectability with an area under the receiver operating characteristic of 0.75, 0.81, 0.72, 0.79, and 0.83, respectively.
This study suggests that the WFun is useful in detecting those who have health problems affecting their work.
本研究以职业健康护士的评估作为客观标准，评估工作功能受损量表（WFun）的诊断准确性，该量表是一种用于检测存在影响其工作的健康问题的工人的问卷。
294名员工完成了WFun问卷。护士进行访谈以评估：1）健康问题；2）健康对其工作的影响；3）治疗的必要性；4）医疗保健指导；5）工作调整的考虑因素。
高工作功能受损组与低工作功能受损组相比的优势比分别为9.05、10.26、5.77、9.37和14.70，具有高度统计学意义。WFun在受试者工作特征曲线下面积分别为0.75、0.81、0.72、0.79和0.83，显示出高检测能力。
本研究表明，WFun有助于检测出存在影响其工作的健康问题的人群。
