Oldenburg Burnout Inventory - student version: cultural adaptation and validation into Portuguese

Abstract

ResumoRealizou-se adaptação cultural do Inventário de Oldenburg para estudantes (OLBI-S) em português e estimou-se sua confiabilidade e validade. O OLBI-S foi preenchido por 958 estudantes universitários brasileiros e 602 portugueses. O modelo fatorial original apresentou ajustamento adequado mas foram removidos dois itens com confiabilidade individual baixa (λ<0,5). A nova estrutura apresentou bom ajustamento a 2/3 da amostra total sendo invariante no 1/3 restante da amostra. Verificou-se baixa consistência interna e validade convergente, confiabilidade compósita aceitável, boa validade discriminante, concorrente e divergente. O OLBI-S não foi invariante nas amostras de Brasil e Portugal. O OLBI-S apresentou limitações e ausência de validade transcultural nas amostras estudadas. Palavras-chave: Burnout, estudantes universitários, avaliação, Psicometria. AbstractThe Oldenburg Burnout Inventory for college students (OLBI-S) was adapted to Brazilian Portuguese and its reliability and validity were measured in a sample of both Brazilian (n=958) and Portuguese (n=602) college students. The confirmatory factor analysis of the OLBI-S showed good fit but two items were removed since they lacked individual reliability (λ<.50). The new structure showed good fit to 2/3 of the test sample and was invariant to the other 1/3 of the total sample. Convergent validity and internal consistency were low, but discriminant, concurrent and divergent validity were good. The OLBI-S was not invariant in the Brazilian and Portuguese samples. The adapted OLBI-S did not show cross-cultural validity. Keywords: Burnout, college students, evaluation, Psychometrics.The burnout syndrome was initially defined as a psychological condition related to work in help professions and that require interaction with others, and is characterized by high levels of emotional exhaustion, high disbelief in the function and low professional accomplishment. Initially, it was believed that the burnout syndrome affected only professionals with extensive human interaction as social workers, nurses, doctors and psychologists. However, currently it is known that the burnout syndrome exceeds care services, since the stressors that can initiate it may be present in any workplace (Demerouti, Bakker, Nachreiner, & Schaufeli, 2001). More recently, higher education students have been identified in the literature as a vulnerable group for the development of Burnout (Balogun, Helgemoe, Pellegrini, & Hoeberlein, 1995;Marôco & Tecedeiro, 2009;Marôco, Tecedeiro, Martins, & Meireles, 2008;Martinez, Pinto, & Silva, 2000;Schaufeli, Martinez, Pinto, Salanova, & Bakker, 2002) due to socio-economic pressures, concerns about their professional future, relationships with peers and teachers, tests and papers to which they are constantly exposed, and therefore constitute a risk population to be studied.Carlotto and Câmara (2006), Dyrbye et al. (2010), Martinez et al. (2000 and Salanova, Schaufeli, Martinez, and Breso (2010) and emphasize that early detection of symptomatic significant l...

Validity and reliability of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey in Sri Lanka

“…Though not widely used as the MBI-SS, the School Burnout Inventory, which consists of three dimensions, developed by Salmela-Aro et al [ 13 ], the two-factor Oldenburg Burnout Inventory student version developed by Campos et al [ 14 ] and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory-Student version developed by Campos et al [ 15 ] have been used to assess the concept of student burnout.…”

Escala de Avaliação da Síndrome de Burnout em Estudantes Universitários (ESB-eu): construção e evidências de validade

“…A partir da revisão da literatura, foi estabelecido um modelo operacional alinhado à conceitualização de SBE apresentada em estudos tanto teóricos quanto empíricos (Huang & Lin, 2010;Shaufeli et al, 2002). Os quatro instrumentos de avaliação da SBE revisados também foram importantes para elencar as possibilidades de dimensões avaliadas, a correspondência de dimensões entre eles e aspectos que poderiam ser contemplados em um novo instrumento, bem como os comportamentos concretos avaliados por cada item (Campos, Carlotto, & Marôco, 2012;Campos, Carlotto, & Marôco, 2013;Huang & Lin, 2010;Shaufeli, Salanova et al, 2002). As entrevistas contribuíram para a compreensão da vivência dos universitários em termos de DEF, DIST e INEF, mas, sobretudo, ajudaram a contemplar as situações e contextos pertinentes à SBE.…”

The Quality of Work Life Scale: Validity Evidence from Brazil and Portugal

“…No research that has used the QWLS tested the measurement invariance in relation to gender and country. There is evidence that invariance can be obtained between Portugal and Brazil with other instruments (Campos et al 2012;Sinval et al 2018) and in relation to gender in these countries (Sinval et al 2019). Given that both countries share a common culture, it is more likely to find measurement invariance between the two samples (Vargas et al 2017).…”
