Turkish adaptation of the Mini Z 2.0 clinician worklife survey among physicians

Abstract

Abstract Background Physicians represent one of the occupational groups that frequently face stress, job dissatisfaction, and burnout in their careers. The Mini Z 2.0 Clinician Worklife Survey was developed as a new, easy-to-use tool for identifying the factors which cause burnout, job dissatisfaction, and stress among physicians. There are no scales that assess different factors of worklife practically and collectively among physicians. This study therefore aimed to evaluate the Turkish validity and reliability of the Mini Z 2.0 Clinician Worklife Survey. Methods The study was conducted with 221 physicians. The construct validity was determined using confirmatory factor analysis. Test–retest reliability and internal consistency were assessed using Spearman’s correlation coefficient and Cronbach’s alpha, respectively. The scale’s concurrent validity was determined using Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Results The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale has two factors. The Spearman’s correlation coefficient results varied between 0.753 and 0.858. Cronbach’s alpha values of the scale and subscales were found to be between 0.881 and 0.942 in the internal consistency analysis. Floor/ceiling effects were considered not to be present. Conclusions The Turkish version of the Mini Z 2.0 Clinician Worklife Survey has found to be valid and reliable.
