Abstract

Objective

To assess the reliability, internal consistency, structural validity, and construct validity of the Work Role Functioning Questionnaire 2.0 with 5 items (WRFQ-5) in Brazilian workers with chronic pain.

Methods

This was a questionnaire validation study. Workers with chronic pain, both genders, and age ≥18 years were included. We assessed the internal structure of the WRFQ-5 using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). To assess construct validity, we correlated the WRFQ-5 with the short version of the Orebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire (OMPSQ). In addition, we assessed test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and floor and ceiling effects. Results: We included 153 workers with chronic pain for analysis of internal structure and construct validity, and a subsample of 43 for analysis of test-retest reliability. We identified the unidimensionality of the WRFQ-5 by means of EFA with implementation of parallel analysis (KMO = 0.77 and p < 0.001for Bartlett's test of sphericity). Regarding construct validity, we confirmed the hypothesis by observing a negative correlation with magnitude lower than 0.30 (unrelated constructs) between the WRFQ-5 and the OMPSQ. We found substantial reliability (ICC = 0.79) and adequate internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.88). No ceiling or floor effects were observed.

Conclusion

The Brazilian Portuguese version of the WRFQ-5 demonstrates adequate measurement properties for use in workers with chronic pain.

巴西版的5项工作角色功能问卷2.0 （WRFQ-5）对慢性疼痛工人具有足够的测量特性

目的评估巴西慢性疼痛工人5项工作角色功能问卷2.0 （WRFQ-5）的信度、内部一致性、结构效度和结构效度。方法采用问卷验证法。患有慢性疼痛的工人，不分性别，年龄≥18岁。我们使用探索性因子分析（EFA）评估WRFQ-5的内部结构。为了评估结构效度，我们将WRFQ-5与简短版的Orebro肌肉骨骼疼痛筛查问卷（OMPSQ）相关联。此外，我们评估了重测信度、内部一致性和下限和上限效应。结果：我们纳入153名慢性疼痛工人进行内部结构和构念效度分析，并纳入43名子样本进行重测信度分析。我们通过EFA和并行分析确定了WRFQ-5的单维性（Bartlett's球形检验的KMO = 0.77, p < 0.001）。在构念效度方面，我们观察到WRFQ-5与OMPSQ之间存在小于0.30的负相关（不相关构念），从而证实了假设。我们发现了相当的信度（ICC = 0.79）和足够的内部一致性（Cronbach's alpha = 0.88）。没有观察到天花板或地板效应。结论巴西葡萄牙语版WRFQ-5具有足够的测量特性，适用于慢性疼痛工人。
