Healthcare workers (HCWs) represents one of the highest-risk population to develop burnout symptoms. Recently, a new tool has been designed to measure several dimensions that capture an exhaustive expression of burnout symptoms by six dimensions (i.e., exhaustion; mental distance; cognitive impairment; emotional impairment; psychological distress; psychosomatic complaints).
The current study aims to adapt the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) to an Italian Healthcare workers' sample confirming the original second-order factorial structure. Furthermore, we expected to find good indexes of reliability and validity tests. Participants were 697 Italian Health Care Workers (Female = 68.44%; mean age = 36.47; SD = 11.20). Data were collected by self-report questionnaires submitted by the snowball method.
Findings show a good fit of the BAT's structure, confirming the hypothesized second-order factorial model. Furthermore, good reliability has been established with the study's measures.
The BAT for HCWs is eligible as a new tool to evaluate burnout in the at-risk HCWs as a multi-facet constellation of symptoms.
医护人员是最容易出现倦怠症状的高风险人群之一。最近,设计了一种新工具来衡量六个维度的倦怠症状的多个维度(即,疲惫;心理距离;认知障碍;情绪障碍;心理困扰;身心抱怨)。
本研究旨在对意大利医护人员样本进行倦怠评估工具(BAT)的调整,以验证原始二阶因子结构。此外,我们希望找到良好的可靠性和有效性测试指标。参与者为 697 名意大利医疗保健工作者(女性=68.44%;平均年龄=36.47;标准差=11.20)。数据通过雪球法提交的自我报告问卷收集。
研究结果表明,BAT 结构具有良好的拟合度,验证了假设的二阶因子模型。此外,该研究的测量方法具有良好的可靠性。
BAT 适用于评估高危医护人员的倦怠症状,作为一种多方面的症状组合。
