Evaluating the Turkish validity and reliability of the mini Z 2.0 clinician worklife survey among physicians

Abstract

Aims: Physicians face stress, job dissatisfaction, and burnout in their careers. There are many scales that assess burnout. Among them, Maslach Burnout Inventory is a standard tool used to assess burnout. 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. Maslach Burnout Inventory can be utilized in the general population whereas the Mini Z 2.0 survey assesses the worklife of physicians. In Turkiye, there are no scales which can assess all those factors in the 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 and contribute to the literature. 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 concurrent validity was determined by testing correlations between Mini Z 2.0 and Maslach Burnout Inventory subscales were met 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. Conclusion: It was found that the Turkish version of the Mini Z 2.0 Clinician Worklife Survey is valid and reliable.
