Abstract:
Objective:To develop the interpersonal emotion regulation questionnaire for healthcare workers and examine its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on the theory of social regulatory cycle (SRC), literatures review and semi-structured interview were used to form the item pool of the scale.Through expert consultation, project analysis and the exploratory factor analysis, the scale items were screened, and the interpersonal emotion regulation questionnaire for healthcare workers was initially formed.The convenient sampling method was adopted to select 619 healthcare workers from multiple hospitals in Anhui province to conduct the formal survey to test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using the SPSS 24.0 and Mplus 8.0 software.Results:There were 18 items and four dimensions including emotion identification, motivation, regulation strategy and implementation strategy process in the interpersonal emotion regulation questionnaire for healthcare workers.The results of CFA showed that the questionnaire fitted the data with well construct validity.The correlation coefficients between each dimension and the scale were 0.830-0.932.The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the overall questionnaire was 0.962, the split-half reliability was 0.880 and the test-retest reliability was 0.786.The score of total questionnaire was significantly positively correlated with the score of emotional intelligence ( r=0.680, P<0.001) and empathic ability ( r=0.554, P<0.001), and was significantly negatively correlated with the doctor-patient relationship ( r=-0.353, P<0.001). Conclusion:The interpersonal emotion regulation questionnaire for healthcare workers has satisfactory reliability and validity, which can be used to measure the ability of interpersonal emotion regulation in healthcare workers.
