Abstract

Background: The assessment of work ability with reliable, thoroughly tested instruments, is central to evidence-based occupational therapy practice.

Aims/objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Finnish version of the WRI with a focus on construct validity and measurement precision.

Material and methods: Ninety-six WRI-FI assessments were performed by 19 occupational therapists in Finland. A Rasch analysis was conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties.

Results: The WRI-FI presented an overall fit to the Rasch model, with good targeting and separation among persons. The four-point rating scale structure was supported by the Rasch analysis, except for one item with disordered thresholds. The WRI-FI indicated stable measurement properties across gender. Seven of the 96 persons showed misfit, which slightly exceeds the criteria of 5%.

Conclusions: The findings from this first psychometric evaluation of the WRI-FI provided evidence of construct validity and support for measurement precision. The hierarchy among items corresponded with previous studies. The WRI-FI can offer occupational therapy practitioners a valid tool to evaluate psychosocial and environmental perspectives of persons' work ability.

芬兰版工人角色访谈(WRI-FI)的心理测量学评价。

背景:工作能力的评估与 可靠， 彻底测试的工具，是核心的循证职业治疗实践。目的/目的:本研究的目的是研究芬兰版世界资源指数的心理测量特性，重点关注构念效度和测量精度。材料和方法:芬兰19名职业治疗师进行了96次WRI-FI评估。进行了Rasch分析来评估心理测量特性。结果:WRI-FI总体上符合Rasch模型，具有良好的针对性和分离性。四分制量表结构除一项阈值紊乱外，均得到Rasch分析的支持。WRI-FI在性别上的测量特性稳定。96人中有7人表现出不适应，略高于5%的标准。结论:WRI-FI的首次心理测量评估结果为结构效度和测量精度提供了证据。项目之间的层次结构与以往的研究一致。WRI-FI可以为职业治疗从业者提供一个有效的工具来评估个人工作能力的社会心理和环境观点。
