زمینه و هدف
Despite the many benefits of occupational examinations, workers and employers are reluctant to do so. The studies conducted so far have not been able to identify the exact cause of their reluctance. Due to recent changes in workplace risks, it is required to investigate the motivations of employees and employers for occupational examination performance. This study aims to develop a self-report scale to overcome prior methodological defects and evaluate barriers of performing periodic. examinations.
روش کار
The study was conducted with 200 participants, including employers, occupational health inspectors, occupational physicians and occupational health experts working in the industrial sector, aged 25–70 years. The subjects supplied sociodemographic information and completed the experimental version of the instrument. This study was conducted to design and evaluate the psychometric properties of the instrument. First, existing texts and articles were reviewed, and then the validity and reliability criteria of the questionnaire were reviewed by quantitative and qualitative methods. This study was approved by Kashan University of Medical Sciences (Grant number 98009) and approved by the Ethics Committee (IR.KAUMS.NUHEPM.REC.1398.007). Relevant scientific sources and texts were studied, and academic research databases were searched, including Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct and ProQuest, with the keywords ‘Occupational Examinations’, ‘Occupational Disease’ and ‘Barrier’ from 2000 onwards.
یافتهها
After reviewing the relevant texts and articles and interviewing the experts in this regard, 69 items were collected as the primary items of the questionnaire. After collecting all of the comments, the researchers reviewed them, and similar items were deleted or combined and 52 items were selected. The face validity of the questionnaire was confirmed with the approval of two occupational health experts. At this stage, unnecessary questions were deleted and new items were added to the questionnaire, and 44 items remained. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) provided evidence for a five-factor model, including knowledge, quality, law, capability and service, with 62.68% variance. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) proved stability rates of both models (root mean square error of approximation [rmsea] = 0.062, comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.92, Tucker–Lewis index [TLI] = 0.906, incremental fit index [IFI] = 0.921, normed fit index [NFI] = 0.835, relative fit index [RFI] = 0.808). The scale also revealed appropriate levels of (reliability (α = 0.916 and composite reliability [CR] 0.7) and validity (average variance extracted 0.5).
نتیجهگیری
The psychometric characteristics of the scale demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability. This study developed this valid instrument to be used by health decision-makers for assessing barriers of performing periodic examinations. The questionnaire on barriers to perform periodic examinations of employees in knowledge, quality, law, capability and service has good validity and reliability, and factor analysis also shows the main questionnaire factors. A standard and valid instrument for identifying barriers to perform periodic examinations can provide
