Objective ; To develop a fatigue assessment scale and test its reliability and validity for commercial construction workers. ; Methods ; Using a two-phased approach, we first identified items for the development of a Fatigue Assessment Scale for Construction Workers (FASCW) through review of existing scales in the scientific literature, key informant interviews (n=11) and focus groups (3 groups with 6 workers each) with construction workers. The second phase included assessment for the reliability, validity and sensitivity of the new scale using a repeated-measures study design with a convenience sample of construction workers (n=144). ; Results ; Phase one resulted in a 16-item preliminary scale that after factor analysis yielded a final 10-item scale with two sub-scales (“Lethargy� and “Bodily Ailment�). During phase two, the FASCW and its subscales demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency (alpha coefficients were FASCW (0.91), Lethargy (0.86) and Bodily Ailment (0.84)) and acceptable test-retest reliability (Pearson Correlations Coefficients: 0.59–0.68; Intraclass Correlation Coefficients: 0.74–0.80). Correlation analysis substantiated concurrent and convergent validity. A discriminant analysis demonstrated that the FASCW differentiated between groups with arthritis status and different work hours. ; Conclusions ; The 10-item FASCW with good reliability and validity is an effective tool for assessing the severity of fatigue among construction workers. ; K01 OH010485/OH/NIOSH CDC HHS/United States ; T32 AR055885/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/United States ; T32 AR055885/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/United States ; T42 OH008416/OH/NIOSH CDC HHS/United States ; U60 OH009762/OH/NIOSH CDC HHS/United States ; 2016-02-01T00:00:00Z ; 25603944 ; PMC4677770 |
