Abstract
Background and Purpose: The aim of the study was to adapt and validate the Multidimensional Workaholism Scale to the cultural context of Brazil and assess its psychometric properties. Methods: A methodological study was conducted using the following steps: translation, reconciliation of translations, back-translation, expert committee review, pretest, and authors' review. The psychometric properties were then evaluated using goodness-of-fit indices, including the chi-square ratio to degrees of freedom (χ²/df), comparative fit index, goodness-of-fit index, Tucker-Lewis index, and root-mean-square error of approximation (RMSEA). Results: The Brazilian version of the Multidimensional Workaholism Scale showed excellent internal consistency (α = .95 and ω= 0.97), a four-dimension structure, and 60.85% of explained variance. Conclusions: The results showed the factor validity of the Brazilian version of the Multidimensional Workaholism Scale, confirming its reliability for measuring workaholism in Brazil.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Nursing Measurement specifically addresses instrumentation in nursing. It serves as a prime forum for disseminating information on instruments, tools, approaches, and procedures developed or utilized for measuring variables in nursing research, practice, and education. Particular emphasis is placed on evidence for the reliability and validity or sensitivity and specificity of such instruments. The journal includes innovative discussions of theories, principles, practices, and issues relevant to nursing measurement.
