@misc{10481/36708, year = {2015}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10481/36708}, abstract = {Nurses are an occupational group with extremely high levels of burnout. The most accepted definition of the burnout syndrome was proposed by Maslach and Jackson, who characterized it in terms of three dimensions: (i) Emotional Exhaustion; (ii) Depersonalization; (iii) Personal Accomplishment. This definition was the basis for the Granada Burnout Questionnaire (GBQ). The objective of this research was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the GBQ and to elaborate an evaluation scale to measure burnout in nursing professionals in Spain. A total of 1,177 nurses participated in this study and successfully completed the GBQ. Evidence of construct validity was verified by cross-validation and convergent validity, and evidence of criteria validity was checked by concurrent validity. Cronbach's alpha was used to measure internal consistency. The results obtained in our study show satisfactory fit values in the confirmatory factor analysis and in the evidence of convergent and concurrent validity. All of the Cronbach alpha values were greater than .83. This signifies that the GBQ has good psychometric properties that are applicable to nurses. For this purpose a scale of T-scores and centiles was created that permitted the evaluation of burnout in Spanish nursing professionals.}, abstract = {Los enfermeros son uno de los colectivos profesionales que presentan mayores niveles de burnout. La definición más aceptada de este trastorno fue propuesta por Maslach y Jackson, y se caracteriza por Cansancio Emocional, Despersonalización y Realización Personal. Esta definición operativa fue usada en la elaboración del Cuestionario de Burnout Granada (CBG). El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del CBG y elaborar un baremo para profesionales de enfermería españoles. El CBG era cumplimentado por 1177 enfermeros. Las evidencias de validez de constructo fueron examinadas usando estrategias de validez cruzada y validez convergente, y las evidencias de validez de criterio mediante la validez concurrente. El coeficiente alfa de Cronbach se utilizó para medir la consistencia interna. Los resultados indican índices de ajuste satisfactorio en el análisis factorial confirmatorio, y en las evidencias de validez convergente y concurrente. Todos los valores de alfa de Cronbach fueron superiores a 0,83. Los resultados muestran que el CBG tiene buenas propiedades psicométricas para ser usado en enfermeros. Se elaboró un baremo en puntuaciones T y centiles que permite evaluar burnout en enfermeros españoles.}, organization = {This work was funded by the Excellence Research Project P11HUM-7771 (Junta de Andalucía-Spain) and the Research Project mP_BS_6 (CEI BioTic Granada and Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación-Spain).}, organization = {Open Access funded by Asociacion Espanola de Psicologia Conductual}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Granada Burnout Questionnaire}, keywords = {Nurses}, keywords = {Burnout}, keywords = {Instrumental study}, keywords = {Cuestionario de Burnout Granada}, keywords = {Profesionales de Enfermería}, keywords = {Estudio instrumental}, title = {Psychometric properties and scales of the Granada Burnout Questionnaire applied to nurses}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijchp.2015.01.001}, author = {Fuente, Emilia I. de la and García García, Juan and Cañadas De La Fuente, Guillermo Arturo and San Luis, Concepción and Cañadas De La Fuente, Gustavo Raúl and Aguayo Estremera, Raimundo and Fuente Sánchez, Leticia de la and Vargas Pecino, Cristina}, }
