Investigating validity evidence of the Malay translation of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory

Abstract

Introduction The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) is a recent burnout measure with a focus on fatigue and exhaustion. It has three factors: personal burnout, work-related burnout, and client-related burnout. This study aimed to translate the CBI into the Malay language and to validate the translated version among a group of medical students. Methods The forward–backward translation was performed as per standard guidelines. The Malay version of CBI (CBI-M) was distributed to 32 medical students to assess face validity and later to 452 medical students to assess construct validity. The data analysis was performed by Microsoft Excel, SPSS and AMOS. Results The face validity index of CBI-M was more than 0.8. The three factors of CBI-M achieved good levels of goodness-of-fit indices (Cmin/df = 2.99, RMSEA = 0.066, GFI = 0.906, CFI = 0.938, NFI = 0.910, TLI = 0.925). The composite reliability values of the three factors ranged from 0.84 to 0.87. The Cronbach's alpha values of the three factors ranged from 0.83 to 0.87. Conclusions This study supports the face and construct validity of the CBI-M with a high internal consistency.

Burnout syndrome in university professors and academic staff members: psychometric properties of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory–Brazilian version

“…The low factor weight of item 10 was also observed in other studies (Yeh et al, 2007;Campos et al, 2011;Marôco & Campos, 2012;Campos et al, 2013;Fong, Ho, & Ng, 2014;Fiorilli et al, 2015;Andrew Chin et al, 2018), and it can be attributed to the reverse elaboration of the item. According to Yeh et al (2007), the CBI items have a pattern of a negative response direction, which creates a stereotype of responses.…”

“…Since its development, the CBI has demonstrated robust psychometric properties (Kristensen et al, 2005;Yeh et al, 2007;Milfont et al, 2008;Campos et al, 2011;Avanzi et al, 2013;Molinero et al, 2013;Phuekphan et al, 2016;Andrew Chin et al, 2018) for analyzing BS even when applied to different populations. The cultural adaptation of the CBI into Brazilian Portuguese was performed by Campos et al (2011).…”

“…The CBI has been translated and adapted in different countries, such as China (Yeh, Cheng, Chen, Hu, & Kristensen, 2007), New Zealand (Milfont et al, 2008), Brazil (Campos, Zucoloto, Bonafé, Jordani, & Marôco, 2011), Portugal (Fontes, 2011;Campos, Carlotto, & Marôco, 2013), Spain (Campos et al, 2013), Spain (Molinero, Basart, & Moncada, 2013),Italy (Avanzi, Balducci, & Fraccaroli, 2013), Serbia (Berat, Jélic, & Popov, 2016), Thailand (Phuekphan, Aungsuroch, Yunibhand, & Chan, 2016), Iran (Mahmoudi et al, 2017), and Malaysia (Andrew Chin et al, 2018).…”

“…Like the MBI, the CBI has been used to analyze the BS in human services workers (Kristensen et al, 2005;Molinero, Basart, & Moncada, 2013;Berat et al, 2016), health professionals (Chou, Li, & Hu, 2014;Chin et al, 2018), university students (Marôco & Campos, 2012;Campos et al, 2013), and university professors and academic staff (Kinman & Wray, 2014;Milfont et al, 2008;Avanzi et al, 2013;Fiorilli et al, 2015;Sestili et al, 2018).…”

Burnout and its Relationship to Psychological Distress and Job Satisfaction Among Academician and Non-Academician in Malaysia

“…The CBI has been translated and validated in other languages, including to the local language -Malay language. The Malay version was translated and validated for our population, and it has a good face and construct validity with a high internal consistency (Andrew Chin et al, 2018). The reliability of the scale for this study is 0.94.…”
