Abstract

Objective: Assessing the reliability and validity of the workplace stress scale (WSS), brief resilient coping scale (BRCS) and brief resilience scale (BRS) in healthcare workers. Subjects and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 healthcare workers at the District 8 hospital, Ho Chi Minh City on May 2021. Healthcare workers were interviewed using self-completed questionnaires (WSS, BRCS and BRS in Vietnamese). The reliability of the scales was assessed by Cronbach's Alpha index, the validity was determined by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results: The Vietnamese WSS, BRCS and BRS scales have high reliability with Cronbach's Alpha coefficients of 0,84, 0,83 and 0,87. The validity of the scales was determined by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with the results meeting the standards, reflecting the appropriateness from the level of “acceptable fit” to “good fit” between the model and the actual data obtained. Conclusion: The WSS, BRCS and BRS scales_Vietnamese version show high reliability and appropriate validity to assess workplace stress levels, resilient coping and rehabilitation after stress among Vietnamese healthcare workers.
