Psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery Scale in a nurse population

Most nurses in Korea work rotating shifts, an important contributor to fatigue. The Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery (OFER) Scale assesses work‐related fatigue among nurses. In this study, we aimed to translate and culturally adapt the Korean version of this scale (OFER‐K) with nurses workin...

Description
Summary:Most nurses in Korea work rotating shifts, an important contributor to fatigue. The Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery (OFER) Scale assesses work‐related fatigue among nurses. In this study, we aimed to translate and culturally adapt the Korean version of this scale (OFER‐K) with nurses working rotating shifts in Korea. Instrument adaptation was performed using committee‐based translation, cognitive interviewing, and expert panel interviewing. Criterion validity, convergent validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and test–retest reliability were examined as psychometric properties of the OFER‐K. An online survey was completed by 331 nurses; 107 of these nurses completed a second survey after 1 month to assess test–retest reliability. The overall Cronbach's alpha was 0.88. The correlation between participants’ initial and retest responses for the total scale was 0.64 (p
