“…Another noteworthy finding of the factorial validity was low factor loadings of a PD item and a DL item concerning 'conflicting demands' and 'repetitive work' respectively. Investigations on the validity of the Brazilian and Swedish translated versions of the DCSQ found similar results as well 8,12) . These findings could possibly be a result of the differences in item wording and response categories between the DCSQ and the JCQ 12) .…”

“…However, this hypothesis may be applicable to only Japanese employees in some occupations. In fact, previous studies proved the factorial validity of the Brazilian and Norwegian translated versions of the DCSQ, as originally hypothesized 8,12) . Therefore, factorial validity has to be further examined among Japanese employees in occupations other than nursery school workers.…”

“…The questionnaire has been translated into many languages, including Japanese 3,4) . The Demand-Control-Support Questionnaire (DCSQ) was developed as a shortened and modified version of the JCQ and has been used in a number of epidemiological studies [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] . Although the DCSQ is available in Swedish, English, and other languages, it has not yet been translated into Japanese.…”

“…Therefore, the reliability and validity of the JCQ may not be applicable to the DCSQ. A limited number of studies have reported on the internal consistency 5,6,8,11,13) , test-retest reliability 7) , and factorial validity 8,12) of the DCSQ.…”

Reliability and validity of the Japanese-translated version of the Swedish Demand-Control-Support Questionnaire (J-DCSQ) was examined. The subjects comprised 212 women working in nursery schools. The 17-item J-DCSQ consists of three subscales: psychological demands (PD), decision latitude (DL), and social support (SS). With regard to reliability, one-week test-retest reliability and internal consistency were proved at a sufficient level. Weighted kappa coefficients were near or greater than 0.60 for all items. Intraclass correlation coefficients were greater than 0.80 for all subscales. Cronbach's alphas (mean inter-item correlation) were 0.64 (0.26), 0.63 (0.22), and 0.86 (0.50) for PD, DL, and SS respectively. The scaling and concurrent validity was also established at a satisfactory level. Ceiling or floor effects were not found for any subscales. The J-DCSQ helped us obtain accurate estimates on extreme response distribution. By using the Japanese version of the Job Content Questionnaire for comparison, Spearman's correlation coefficients were estimated to be 0.74, 0.60, and 0.59 for PD, DL, and SS respectively. In contrast, the factorial validity was not shown as originally hypothesized. Factor analysis did not reveal that PD and DL were definitely separated. In addition, both a PD item and a DL item indicated low factor loadings. In conclusion, the present findings exhibited sufficient reliability of the J-DCSQ, while further studies are needed to establish its validity.

BackgroundShift work and psychosocial stressors may contribute to higher metabolic syndrome (MetS) incidence. Few studies investigated whether the presence of both factors simultaneously has a synergic effect on risk of MetS.MethodsThis cross‐sectional analysis used baseline data (2008‐2010) for 10 960 current workers from ELSA‐Brasil. Multiple logistic regression was used to estimate independent associations between shift work and job strain and MetS. An interaction between these factors was tested by including a multiplicative term in the final model.ResultsExposure to three‐shifts a week (that is, three 12 h shifts of work followed by 36 h of rest) and high job‐strain were independently associated with greater risk of MetS. We found no indication (P > 0.05) of interaction between working in shifts and job strain on MetS.ConclusionsEfforts to reduce job strain and shift work should be considered as part of a primary prevention strategy to reduce the risk of MetS.

Dimensional structure of the demand control support questionnaire: a Brazilian context

Abstract: Our results indicated that skill discretion and decision authority formed two distinct dimensions. Additionally, the item repetitive work should be removed, as well as one of the items work fast or work intense (demands). Future research is still required to confirm these findings.
