[Measurement of the evaluative capacity of the CVP-35 questionnaire for perceiving the quality of professional life]. / Medición de la capacidad evaluadora del cuestionario CVP-35 para la percepción de la calidad de vida profesional.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the CVP-35 evaluative properties to measure the professional quality of life (PQL). DESIGN: Prospective, observational study. SETTING: A primary care area in the Community of Madrid, Spain. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 149 sanitary workers with some burnout sign measured by Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) participated. MEASUREMENTS: They fulfilled MBI, Goldberg Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), and CVP-35 questionnaires at the beginning and after a year of follow-up, in which 73 subjects took part in activities for coping stress. It was assessed the change of PQL and their domains managerial support (PQL-MS), work load (PQL-WL), intrinsic motivation (PQL-IM) for the subjects with variations at the MBI, or GHQ-28 punctuation greater than 0.5 SD of the initial distribution. RESULTS: Variations in CVP-35 and their domains correlate weakly with changes in MBI and GHQ-28 (r<0.500), but they are congruent with the conceptual model. In the individuals with significant variations in the GHQ-28, they appreciate an average change in PQL and their domains between 0.18 and 0.55 points (absolute value). In those with significant variations in the MBI domains, PQL presented average absolute variations between 0.23 and 0.45 points, PQL-MS between 0.30 and 0.67, PQL-WL between 0.01 and 0.55 and PQL-IM between 0.22 and 0.83 points. CONCLUSIONS: CVP-35 is a sensitive-to-change instrument under population point of view. Changes in PQL perception or in any of their domains of 0.5 points could be pointed as relevant.

Objetivo. Conocer la capacidad evaluadora del cuestionario CVP-35 para valorar la calidad de vida profesional. Diseño. Estudio prospectivo y observacional. Emplazamiento. Un área de atención primaria de la Comunidad de Madrid. Participantes. Participaron 149 trabajadores sanitarios con algún signo de «desgaste profesional» medido con el Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Mediciones. Se cumplimentaron el MBI, el cuestionario de Salud General de Goldberg (GHQ-28) y el CVP-35 al inicio y al año de seguimiento. Se evaluaron el cambio de la CVP y de sus componentes, el apoyo directivo (CVP-AD), la carga de trabajo (CVP-CT) y la motivación intrínseca (CVP-MI) en los sujetos con variaciones en la puntuación del MBI o del GHQ-28 superiores a 0,5 desviaciones estándar (DE) de la distribución basal. Resultados. Las variaciones en el CVP-35 y sus dominios se correlacionan débilmente con los cambios en el MBI y GHQ-28 (r < 0,500), pero concuerdan con el modelo conceptual. En los individuos con variaciones significativas en el GHQ-28, se aprecian unos cambios medios en la CVP y sus dominios comprendidos entre 0,18 y 0,55 puntos. En aquellos casos con variaciones significativas en los dominios del MBI, la CVP presentó variaciones medias absolutas entre 0,23 y 0,45 puntos, CVP-AD entre 0,30 y 0,67, CVP-CT entre 0,01 y 0,55 y CVP-MI entre 0,22 y 0,83 puntos. Conclusiones. El CVP-35 es un instrumento sensible al cambio desde el punto de vista poblacional. Pueden considerarse relevantes cambios del orden de 0,5 puntos en la percepción de la CVP o en sus componentes
