“…The internal consistency was good for both versions in our study. This is in line with results on the WORQ-German (α = 0.88) [10], the WORQ-French (α = 0.97) (14] and the WORQ-VL (α = 0.95) [15]. The results of our study furthermore demonstrate good test-retest reliability for both versions.…”

“…The results of our study furthermore demonstrate good test-retest reliability for both versions. The ICC values in this study were similar to those observed in previous studies with other language versions or patient samples (0.94 for the WORQ-French [14] and 0.85 for the WORQ-VL [15]). The paired sample t-test however showed a statistical significant difference (higher score at T1; p ≤ 0.01) between the scores for both questionnaires (full and short version).…”

“…Both translations showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.97 and 0.95 respectively) and good test-retest reliability (ICC 0.94 and 0.85 respectively) in relatively small samples with varying pathologies. Studies into the construct validity of the WORQ have revealed correlations with several reference measures ranging from 0.28 to 0.81 [10,[14][15][16][17]. Based on the full version of WORQ, a brief 13-item version was developed to encounter the challenge of the length of the WORQ [14].…”

Purpose The Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire (WORQ) is a self-report vocational rehabilitation assessment. A comprehensive (WORQ-FULL) and a brief version (WORQ-BRIEF) are available. The purpose of this study was to investigate measurement properties of both versions in persons with physical disabilities. Methods Cross sectional and test–retest design. Adults with physical disabilities in vocational rehabilitation were included. Internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha), test–retest reliability (intra-class correlation; ICC), agreement between sessions (Bland–Altman Plots), criterion validity (ICC and agreement with Bland–Altman Plots between WORQ-FULL and WORQ-BRIEF) and convergent validity with the Work Ability Index -Single item (WAS) and the EuroQOL 5D-5L were analyzed. Results Out of the 91 individuals who agreed to participate, 74 (81%) returned questionnaire T1 and 49 (54%) participants returned questionnaire T2 within the maximum time interval (= 27 days). At T2, 28 (57%) participants reported no medical changes compared to T1. Median age was 49 (IQR 40–60), 57% were male, 47% had experienced a stroke and 27% a spinal cord injury (n = 49). Internal consistency was good: 0.95/0.95/0.94 for the WORQ-FULL and 0.88/0.89/0.85 for the WORQ-BRIEF (n = 74/n = 48/n = 28, respectively). Test–retest reliabilitywas good: ICC = 0.86/0.85 for the WORQ-FULL and ICC = 0.87/0.86 for the WORQ-BRIEF (n = 49/ n = 28). Bland Altman plots suggested a higher score at T1. As for criterion validity of the WORQ-FULL versus the WORQ-BRIEF, ICC was good (ICC = 0.84; n = 74), however Bland Altman plots indicated potential bias. Correlations with the WAS/EuroQOL 5D-5L were variable: r = -0.24/r = -0.57 (WORQ-FULL) and r = -0.28/-0.65 (WORQ-BRIEF). Conclusions The WORQ showed good internal consistency and test–retest reliability. Agreement demonstrated large score differences are needed to indicate change beyond random chance at individual level, whereas small changes are sufficient at group level. Criterion validity of the WORQ-FULL versus the WORQ-BRIEF was supported, however, agreement demonstrated moderate to large score differences are needed to indicate change beyond random chance at individual level, whereas small changes are sufficient at group level. This indicates the WORQ-FULL and WORQ-BRIEF are better not used interchangeably. Correlation analyses provided better insight in the validity of the WORQ. Convergent validity was supported for the WORQ-BRIEF with the EuroQoL 5D-5L (r = -0.65).

Job reintegration and retention are integral components of vocational rehabilitation (VR) for people with musculoskeletal conditions and other physical disabilities. The Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire (WORQ) is a patient-reported outcomes measure that evaluates physical, emotional, and cognitive functioning in the VR setting. This was created with the hope to evaluate work-related functioning to identify areas of disability that may be addressed during the VR process. 1 Development of the questionnaire was informed by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Core Set for Vocational Rehabilitation. 1 Administration of the WORQ is free, requires no training, and takes an average of 25.57 (SD=11.55) minutes to complete. 1 Available in both interviewer-administered and self-reported versions, the WORQ consists of 2 parts: a 17-item section characterizing sociodemographic data and a 42-item section assessing function. The first 40 questions in the 42-item section are scored on an 11-point Likert scale and then summated, and the last 2 questions assess duration of time needed to complete general functional tasks. Lower scores signify greater function and lesser extent of issues. The WORQ demonstrates excellent test-retest reliability, 2-5 internal consistency, 2-5 and content validity 5 as well as adequate to excellent convergent validity 2,4,5 with similar instruments that measure physical, emotional, and cognitive functioning. Little to no floor and ceiling effects were detected. [2][3][4][5] This abbreviated summary provides a review of the psychometric properties of the WORQ in individuals with musculoskeletal conditions. A full review of the WORQ and reviews of over 500 other instruments for patients with various health conditions can be found at: www.sralab.org/Rehabilitation-Measures.
