| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 復健諮商研究所 === 104 === Purpose：There is no questionnaire based on International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) with excellent psychometric characteristics to evaluate work function of people with schizophrenia in Taiwan currently. The purpose of this study is to establish the reliabilities and validities of the Chinese Version of the Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire (WORQ) for people with schizophrenia, in order to evaluate their work function.
Methods：This study is a cross-sectional study. We conducted a questionnaire-based survey and interviewed 75 subjects with schizophrenia who were recruited from three psychiatric rehabilitation centers and outpatient department of a psychiatric hospital in northern Taiwan. We used “Chinese Version of the WORQ”, “Work-Related Self-Efficacy Scale” and “Work Behavior Inventory” as means to evaluate the work function of people with schizophrenia, in order to test psychometric properties including internal consistency, test-retest reliability, concurrent validity and discriminant validity of the Chinese Version of the WORQ .
Results： The psychometric evaluation of the Chinese Version of the WORQ indicated a high test–retest reliability (ICC 0.82) (n = 25) and a good internal consistency (Cronbachs Alpha 0.95) (n = 75). The Chinese Version of the WORQ demonstrated a high correlation with the Chinese Version of the Work-Related Self-Efficacy Scale (Pearson’s r -0.60) and no correlation (Pearson’s r -0.07) with the Chinese Work Behavior Inventory.
Conclusion: The Chinese Version of the WORQ appears to be a reliable, valid and ICF-based questionnaire to evaluate the work function, and is easy to be administered by psychiatric rehabilitation or vocational professionals. By reflecting the subjective perspectives on the ability in vocational rehabilitation, it will give vocational rehabilitation professionals a better understanding about work function of people with schizophrenia and assist them to return to work.
