abstract: 'The Multiple Sclerosis Work Difficulties Questionnaire-23 (MSWDQ-23) is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a self-report instrument developed to assess barriers faced by People
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) in the workplace. The aim of this study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
was to explore the psychometric properties of the Greek version of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MSWDQ-23. The study sample consisted of 196 PwMS, all currently working
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in part- or full-time jobs. Participants underwent clinical examination
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and cognitive screening with the Brief International Cognitive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (BICAMS) and completed self-report
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
measures of fatigue, psychological functioning, and quality of life,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
along with the MSWDQ-23 questionnaire. Confirmatory Factor Analysis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(CFA) was performed, and goodness-of-fit measures were used to evaluate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
construct validity. Convergent validity was checked by correlating
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MSWDQ-23 scores with study measures. Cronbach''s alpha value was produced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to assess internal consistency. CFA yielded a model with a fair fit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
confirming the three-factor structure of the instrument. Higher work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
difficulties were associated with higher Expanded Disability Status
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scale (EDSS) scores, poorer cognitive function, more fatigue, stress,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
anxiety, and depression, and poorer health status, supporting the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
convergent validity of MSWDQ-23. Internal consistency (Cronbach''s alpha
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
= 0.94) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.996, 95\%, CI =
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
0.990-0.998) were excellent. The Greek MSWDQ-23 can be considered a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
valid patient-reported outcome measure and can be used in interventions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
aiming to improve the vocational status of PwMS.'
