Developing an Occupational Anxiety Scale for Emergency Medical Service Professionals

Öz

Background: Emergency medical service professionals regularly make critical decisions that directly affect life-related to patient's care. Anxiety may restrict the healthcare professionals during this period. Present study is aimed to develop a measurement tool that measures the occupational anxiety levels of healthcare professionals providing emergency medical services in a valid and reliable manner.
Methods: In this descriptive study, data were obtained from three different groups. These were; the group (50 people) to whom open-ended questions were asked in order to obtain the scale items, the group (209 people) on whom explanatory factor analysis and reliability analysis were performed and the group (201 people) on whom confirmatory factor analysis was performed. Individuals in all groups were healthcare personnel who were involved in providing emergency and pre-hospital emergency medical services.
Results: As a result of the validity analyses, it was determined that the scale should consist of 22 items with two factors. This structure was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The reliability value was determined to be 0.914 for the entire scale; 0,922 for the factor of bodily, physical and vital concerns; 0.866 for the factor of concerns regarding setting, staff, equipment and environmental factors.
Conclusion: It was concluded that the scale developed in accordance with these results in the context of the participants in this study measures the professional concerns of the personnel providing emergency medical services in a valid and reliable manner. It is of vital importance for all individuals who may need service at any time to determine the factors that cause high professional anxiety and develop anxiety-reducing measures, especially for Emergency Medical Services professionals. The Occupational Anxiety Scale of Emergency Health Professionals developed can be used in such studies and will be a starting point for more detailed studies.
