Rev Esp Salud Publica 2013; 87(2):181-91135-5727http://hdl.handle.net/10668/1605English Abstract; Journal Article; Validation Studies;Fundamentos: La satisfacción de los profesionales de la medicina es una preocupación en el sector sanitario y su medida requiere un cuestionario multidimensional en español que estudie sus necesidades de alto nivel. Los objetivos de este estudio son adaptar el cuestionario 4CornerSAT para la medida de la satisfacción profesional del personal médico y evaluar su validez en nuestro contexto. Método: Se adaptó el cuestionario al español, validándolo en profesionales médicos de hospitales de Andalucía, España. Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) para corroborar el modelo a priori y se evaluó la consistencia interna y la validez de constructo mediante el alfa de Cronbach y la correlación entre la escala y el ítem global, respectivamente. Resultados: El cuestionario adaptado se administró a 121 especialistas. El AFC corroboró las cuatro dimensiones del cuestionario (χ2=114,64, df=94, p<0,07; χ2/df=1,22; RMSEA=0,04). La consistencia interna obtuvo un α=0,92 y la correlación entre la suma de la escala y el ítem global verificó la validez de constructo (r=0,77; p<0,001). Conclusiones: Se adaptó al español el cuestionario 4CornerSAT, evidenciado una adecuada validez de constructo y consistencia internaBACKGROUND Satisfaction of physicians is a concern in the healthcare sector, and it requires a multi-dimensional questionnaire in Spanish which studies their high-order needs. The objectives of this study are to adapt the 4CornerSAT Questionnaire to measure career satisfaction of physicians and to evaluate its validity in our context. METHOD The 4CornerSAT Questionnaire was adapted into Spanish, validating it among physicians of hospitals in Andalusia, Spain. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to corroborate the a priori model, and it was evaluated the internal consistency and the construct validity through the Cronbach's alpha and the correlation between the scale and the global item, respectively. RESULTS The adapted questionnaire was administrated to 121 specialist physicians. The CFA corroborated the four dimensions of the questionnaire (χ2=114.64, df=94, p<0.07; χ2/df=1.22; RMSEA=0.04). The internal consistency obtained an α=0.92 and the correlation between the summed scale and the global item verified the construct validity (r=0.77; p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The 4CornerSAT questionnaire was adapted to Spanish, identifying an adequate construct validity and internal consistency.spaSatisfacción profesionaPersonal sanitarioCuestionarioAdaptaciónValidaciónEspañaAndalucíaPhysiciansQuestionnaireValidationStudies [Publication Type]SpainJob satisfactionMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Epidemiologic Methods::Statistics as Topic::Factor Analysis, StatisticalMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::FemaleMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Behavior and Behavior Mechanisms::Behavior::Communication::LanguageMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Psychological Phenomena and Processes::Psychology, Applied::Psychology, Industrial::Job SatisfactionMedical Subject Headings::Information Science::Information Science::Communication::LanguageMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::MaleMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Occupational Groups::Health Personnel::Medical Staff::Medical Staff, HospitalMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Behavior and Behavior Mechanisms::Behavior::Personal SatisfactionMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Epidemiologic Methods::Data Collection::QuestionnairesMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Epidemiologic Methods::Epidemiologic Research Design::Reproducibility of ResultsMedical Subject Headings::Geographicals::Geographic Locations::Europe::SpainMedical Subject Headings::Disciplines and Occupations::Health Occupations::SpecializationMedical Subject Headings::Information Science::Information Science::Communications Media::Publications::TranslationsMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Age Groups::AdultMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::Humansresearch article23775106open access10.4321/S1135-572720130002000072173-9110
