This research presents a short version of the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) scale, one of the most frequently used questionnaires in the arena of applied healthcare investigation. It measures burnout (BO), compassion fatigue (CF), and compassion satisfaction (CS).
A 9-item version of the ProQOL was developed. In Study 1, this short version, which used items from version IV of the ProQOL, was administered to 817 palliative care professionals from Spain, Argentina, and Brazil. In Study 2, the same nine items, but this time from version V of the ProQOL, were administered to 296 Spanish palliative care professionals.
Study 1: The Short ProQOL showed an adequate internal structure, and invariance across the countries studied (χ(106) = 185.620 (p < 0.001), CFI = .929, RMSEA = 0.058 [0.044, 0.072], SRMR = 0.081). Argentinians showed higher levels of BO (mean difference = 0.172, p = 0.042, Cohen's d = 0.168), whereas Brazilians showed higher levels of CF (Mean difference = 0.384, p = 0.002, Cohen's d = 0.352). Study 2: the Short ProQOL again showed adequate internal structure and reliability (χ(24) = 134.504 (p < 0.001); CFI = 0.953; RMSEA = 0.126 [0.106, 0.147]; SRMR = 0.063), and was related to coping with death, self-compassion, and self-care.
The Short ProQOL could help facilitate the application of harmonizing measurements and its use for cross-cultural comparisons and occupational health monitoring was satisfactory.
本研究呈现了专业生活质量（ProQOL）量表的一个简短版本，该量表是应用医疗保健研究领域中最常使用的问卷之一。它衡量倦怠（BO）、同情疲劳（CF）和同情满足（CS）。
开发了一个 9 项版本的 ProQOL。在研究 1 中，该简短版本使用了 ProQOL 第 IV 版的项目，对来自西班牙、阿根廷和巴西的 817 名姑息治疗专业人员进行了测试。在研究 2 中，同样的九个项目，但这次来自 ProQOL 的第 V 版，对 296 名西班牙姑息治疗专业人员进行了测试。
研究 1：简短的 ProQOL 显示出适当的内部结构，并且在研究的国家之间具有不变性（χ(106) = 185.620(p < 0.001)，CFI = .929，RMSEA = 0.058 [0.044, 0.072]，SRMR = 0.081）。阿根廷人表现出更高的 BO 水平（平均差异 = 0.172，p = 0.042，Cohen's d = 0.168），而巴西人则表现出更高的 CF 水平（平均差异 = 0.384，p = 0.002，Cohen's d = 0.352）。研究 2：简短的 ProQOL 再次显示出适当的内部结构和可靠性（χ(24) = 134.504(p < 0.001)；CFI = 0.953；RMSEA = 0.126 [0.106, 0.147]；SRMR = 0.063），并与应对死亡、自我同情和自我保健有关。
简短的 ProQOL 可以帮助促进协调测量的应用，其在跨文化比较和职业健康监测方面的使用是令人满意的。
