Resumen
LENERO-CIRUJANO, Miriam et al. Analysis of the psychometric properties of a questionnaire to measure the attitude towards humor in healthcare professionals. Index Enferm [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.2, e14230. Epub 14-Nov-2023. ISSN 1699-5988. https://dx.doi.org/10.58807/indexenferm20235457.
Objective:
To evaluate the psychometric properties of an instrument designed specifically designed to determine attitude towards humor in health professionals.
Methods:
A cross-sectional and a validation study. The reliability study analysed the discrimination capacity of the items with discrimination index, the intraclass and item-total correlation coefficient, the Cronbach's α coefficient and the Pearson's correlation coefficient. In the validation study, the Exploratory Factor Analysis was carried out.
Results:
The Multidimensional Scale of Humor in Healthcare Professionals (EMHUPS) consists of 35 items divided into 8 factors: humor with the patient, humor at work, humor and care, humor in the private environment, training in humor, humor and the sanitary environment, demand for training in humor and humor and leisure. These factors explained a total variance of 60.99% with overall reliability of 0.88.
Conclusions:
EMHUPS presents acceptable psychometric properties in the measurement of humor in healthcare professionals.
