Recently, the Occupational Balance Questionnaire developed in Sweden was translated into Norwegian. No studies to date have examined the measurement properties of the Norwegian version of this questionnaire.
The study is aimed at examining the psychometric properties of the Norwegian version of the Occupational Balance Questionnaire, the OBQ11-N.
Along with sociodemographic data, 180 occupational therapy students enrolled at two Norwegian universities completed the OBQ11-N as well as one question each related to health and quality of life and some sociodemographic variables. Rasch analysis was employed for examining rating scale functioning, item and person validity, dimensionality, and differential item functioning.
Item categories were ordered, but there were potential gaps in the measurement of the construct. Person reliability was fair, whereas item reliability was low. Point biserial correlations were positive, indicating that all items contributed to the construct. Factor loadings were low for two items, and there were indices of a second underlying dimension and item redundancy. Many people were not aligned with the items, and some items functioned differently across various demographic variables. . The OBQ11-N did not function as an adequate measure of occupational balance in a sample of students. Potentially, the detected measurement problems may be solved by adding more relevant items to a larger item pool, from which the best fitting items should be selected.
最近，瑞典开发的职业平衡问卷被翻译成了挪威语。迄今为止，尚无研究检验该问卷挪威语版本的测量特性。
本研究旨在检验职业平衡问卷挪威语版本（OBQ11-N）的心理测量特性。
在收集社会人口统计学数据的同时，两所挪威大学的 180 名职业治疗专业学生完成了 OBQ11-N 以及与健康和生活质量以及一些社会人口统计学变量相关的一个问题。使用 Rasch 分析来检验评分量表的功能、项目和个体有效性、维度和差异项目功能。
项目类别是有序的，但在结构的测量上存在潜在的差距。个体可靠性为中等，而项目可靠性较低。双点二项相关系数为正，表明所有项目都对结构有贡献。两个项目的因子负荷较低，存在第二个潜在维度和项目冗余的指标。许多人不与项目相符，并且一些项目在不同的人口统计学变量上表现出不同的功能。OBQ11-N 不能作为学生样本中职业平衡的有效衡量标准。潜在地，通过向更大的项目库中添加更多相关的项目，可能可以解决检测到的测量问题，然后应从该项目库中选择最合适的项目。
