To analyse the psychometric properties of the Dutch Work Addiction Scale in a sample of Portuguese nurses.
A methodological study was conducted with 1,030 Portuguese nurses. A sociodemographic/professional questionnaire and the Dutch Work Addiction Scale applied between October and December 2019.
The Confirmatory Factorial Analyses confirmed the factorial structure of two dimensions, namely Working Excessively (α = .730) and Working Compulsively (α = .752), grounded on the theoretical model of workaholism; the reliability values were considered adequate. Nurses presented a moderate level of workaholism, with a higher mean value for Working Excessively.
The results raised the issue of workaholism and highlighted the need for further study. The Portuguese version of the DUWAS presented good psychometric characteristics and can be considered a valid and useful instrument to identify this problem.
在葡萄牙护士样本中分析荷兰工作成瘾量表的心理测量特性。
对 1030 名葡萄牙护士进行了一项方法学研究。在 2019 年 10 月至 12 月期间，使用了一份社会人口学/职业问卷和荷兰工作成瘾量表。
验证性因素分析证实了基于工作成瘾理论模型的两个维度（过度工作[α=.730]和强迫工作[α=.752]）的因子结构；可靠性值被认为是适当的。护士表现出中等程度的工作成瘾，过度工作的平均值更高。
结果提出了工作成瘾的问题，并强调了进一步研究的必要性。DUWAS 的葡萄牙语版本具有良好的心理测量特性，可以被认为是识别这一问题的有效和有用的工具。
