The Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ) is an instrument that assesses occupational balance (OB). It has been transculturality adapted and validated in different countries, showing adequate psychometric properties. To date, no general population-based cut-off points for OB have been developed.
To assess the psychometric proprieties of the Spanish version OBQ (OBQ-E) and to estimate reference norms and the cut-off for OBQ-E in a representative sample of Spanish adults.
A total of 797 adults were included in this validity study. Internal consistency, intra and test-retest reliability of OBQ-E were examined. To obtain the convergent validity and the divergent validity, the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SLS) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) were used respectively, compared with OBQ-E. To determine extreme and moderate disturbed OB stratified by age, sex, and educational level were used the 5 and 15% percentiles of OBQ-E.
The OBQ-E showed good internal consistency (-Cronbach = 0.87), intraclass reliability (ICC = 0.87), and test-retest reliability (rho = 0.83). Convergent (SLS) and divergent (HAD) validity were moderate (rho = 0.39 and rho = -0.46, respectively). The lowest extreme disturbed OB cut-off point in men (17.2) and in women (24) appeared at the primary education level, under 40 years of age (men) and 40-65 years of age (women).
The OBQ-E presents adequate psychometric properties, and its normative data can be used as a reference to assess and monitor the occupational balance in the general Spanish population.KEY MESSAGESThe 'Occupational Balance Questionnaire' (OBQ), stands out as a specific measure of the concept of Occupational Balance, considered as satisfaction with the number and variation of occupations in which the person participates.The OBQ is a short and simple instrument that can be a useful tool for use in population-based and epidemiological studies to monitor OB and explore the associated factors or implications of disturbed OB.The Spanish version of the OBQ (OBQ-E) seems to be a reliable and valid questionnaire to assess the perception of balance between occupations, related to health and well-being in the Spanish adult population.
职业平衡问卷（OBQ）是一种评估职业平衡（OB）的工具。它已经在不同国家进行了跨文化适应性和验证，具有足够的心理测量学特性。迄今为止，尚未针对 OB 制定一般人群的参考标准。
评估西班牙版 OBQ（OBQ-E）的心理测量特性，并在西班牙成年人的代表性样本中估计 OBQ-E 的参考标准和截断值。
这项有效性研究共纳入了 797 名成年人。研究了 OBQ-E 的内部一致性、内部和重测信度。为了获得收敛效度和发散效度，分别使用生活满意度量表（SLS）和医院焦虑抑郁量表（HAD）与 OBQ-E 进行比较。为了确定按年龄、性别和教育水平分层的极端和中度职业障碍，使用了 OBQ-E 的第 5 和 15%百分位数。
OBQ-E 表现出良好的内部一致性（-Cronbach = 0.87）、内部一致性（ICC = 0.87）和重测信度（rho = 0.83）。收敛（SLS）和发散（HAD）效度适中（rho = 0.39 和 rho = -0.46）。男性（17.2）和女性（24）的最低极端职业障碍截断值出现在小学教育水平、40 岁以下（男性）和 40-65 岁（女性）。
OBQ-E 具有足够的心理测量学特性，其规范数据可用于评估和监测普通西班牙人群的职业平衡。关键信息职业平衡问卷（OBQ）是职业平衡概念的特定衡量标准，被认为是对个人参与的职业数量和变化的满意度。OBQ 是一种简短而简单的工具，可以作为一种有用的工具，用于基于人群和流行病学研究，以监测 OB 并探索与职业障碍相关的因素或影响。西班牙版 OBQ（OBQ-E）似乎是一种可靠和有效的问卷，可用于评估西班牙成年人口健康和福祉相关的职业平衡感知。
