ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the potential categories of return-to-work self-efficacy of postoperative patients with thyroid cancer and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide theoretical basis for implementing precise interventions of occupational rehabilitation.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. A convenient sampling method was used to select 257 postoperative patients with thyroid cancer in Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University from May 2022 to July 2023. The General Information Questionnaire, Return-To-Work Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and Cancer Fatigue Scale were used for investigation. Latent profile analysis was used to explore the potential categories of return-to-work self-efficacy of postoperative patients with thyroid cancer. Logistic regression and decision tree were used to analyze the influencing factors of different potential categories.Results:Finally, 250 postoperative patients with thyroid cancer were included. There were 76 males and 174 females, aged (37.91 ± 8.04) years old. The return-to-work self-efficacy of postoperative patients with thyroid cancer was divided into 2 potential categories: low return-to-work self-efficacy group (72.0%, 180/250) and high return-to-work self-efficacy group (28.0%, 70/250). Logistic regression showed education, thyrotropin suppressive therapy, cancer-related fatigue and age were factors influencing the potential categories of return-to-work self-efficacy of postoperative patients with thyroid cancer ( OR values were 0.951 - 19.820, all P<0.05). Decision tree model showed education level and cancer-related fatigue were the most important factors ( χ2 = 31.40, 16.95, both P<0.05). Conclusions:There were two potential categories of return-to-work self-efficacy of postoperative patients with thyroid cancer. Most of them had low levels of return-to-work self-efficacy. Health care professionals should focus on patients who are less educated and having cancer-related fatigue, meanwhile, should not ignore patients who are substandard thyrotropin suppressive therapy, and older. Implement precise interventions of occupational rehabilitation to improve the return-to-work self-efficacy of postoperative patients with thyroid cancer so as to help them reintegrate into society.
ABSTRACT
Este artigo tem como objetivo entender a relação entre a autoeficácia e o engajamento de psicólogos escolares. A autoeficácia laboral se refere à competência que os funcionários sentem em relação à capacidade de concluir com êxito as tarefas e persistir, enquanto o engajamento é um fenômeno físico, cognitivo e emocional durante a execução do trabalho. Os participantes foram 205 psicólogos, com representação dos estados brasileiros. Utilizou-se uma escala de autoeficácia para psicólogos escolares (AEPsi) e a escala UWES-09 (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale). Por meio deste estudo, foi possível reunir evidências de que a autoeficácia permite predizer os níveis de engajamento dos psicólogos escolares, constatando que a autoeficácia relacional é a que influencia com mais força as três dimensões do engajamento: vigor, dedicação e absorção. Esses achados reforçam a literatura, considerando a autoeficácia e o engajamento no trabalho como variáveis que contribuem para o sucesso da organização.
This article aims to understand the relationship between the self-efficacy and the engagement of Brazilian school psychologists. Work self-efficacy refers to the competence that employees feel in relation to the ability to successfully complete their tasks and persist, while engagement is a physical, cognitive, and emotional phenomenon experienced whilst working. The participants were 205 psychologists, with representation from all Brazilian states. A self-efficacy scale for school psychologists (AEPsi) and the UWES-09 scale (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale) were used. Through this study, it was possible to gather evidence that self-efficacy makes it possible to predict the levels of engagement of school psychologists, noting that relational self-efficacy is the one that most strongly influences the three dimensions of the engagement: vigor, dedication, and absorption. These findings corroborate with the literature considering self-efficacy and engagement at work as variables that contribute to the organization's success.
Este artículo tiene como objetivo establecer la relación entre la autoeficacia y el compromiso en el trabajo de los psicólogos brasileños. La autoeficacia laboral se refiere a la competencia que los empleados sienten con relación a la capacidad de ejecutar con éxito sus tareas y persistir; a su vez, el compromiso es un fenómeno físico, cognitivo y emocional durante la realización del trabajo. Los participantes fueron 205 psicólogos, con representantes de todos los estados brasileños. Se utilizaron una escala de autoeficacia para psicólogos escolares (AEPsi) y la escala UWES-09 (Escala de Compromiso Laboral de Utrecht). Con este estudio, fue posible reunir evidencias de que la autoeficacia permite la predicción de los niveles de compromiso de los psicólogos escolares y verificar que la autoeficacia relacional es la que más influye en las tres dimensiones del compromiso: vigor, dedicación y absorción. Esos hallazgos corroboran la literatura, considerando la autoeficacia y el compromiso en el trabajo como variables que contribuyen al éxito de la organización.
ABSTRACT
O artigo apresenta estudos de qualidades psicométricas para a Escala de Autoeficácia no Trabalho (EAE-T), sendo um de validade com base na estrutura interna (Análise Fatorial Exploratória- AFE e Análise Fatorial Confirmatória- AFC) e o outro de precisão por meio de consistência interna. No estudo de validade com base na AFE e precisão, a EAE-T foi aplicada em 525 trabalhadores e, como resultados, foi reduzida a 23 itens, distribuídos em dois fatores (fator 1, Execução no Trabalho, com cargas fatoriais variando entre 0,47 e 0,89, e o fator 2, Relações Interpessoais Trabalhistas, com cargas entre 0,56 e 0,85). Os coeficientes de precisão Orion foram de 0,96 (fator 1) e 0,95 (fator 2). Já na análise AFC, a EAE-T com 23 itens foi aplicada em 200 trabalhadores e verificou-se que todos os indicadores utilizados se mostraram com valores adequados, sendo que a estrutura (dois fatores) da EAE-T também foi confirmada.

The article presents psychometric quality studies for the Work Self-Efficacy Scale (WSES): one is a validity study based on the internal structure (Exploratory Factor Analysis, EFA, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis, CFA), and the other an accuracy study through internal consistency. In the validity study based on the EFA and accuracy, the WSES was applied in a sample of 525 workers, resulting in a reduction to 23 items, distributed in two factors (factor 1, Work Execution, with factorial loads varying between 0, 47 and 0.89, and factor 2, Interpersonal Labor Relations, with loads between 0.56 and 0.85). The Orion accuracy coefficients were 0.96 (factor 1) and 0.95 (factor 2). In the CFA, the WSES with 23 items was applied to a sample of 200 workers, and it was verified that all the indicators presented adequate values, and the structure (two factors) of the WSES was also confirmed.
