Occupational Stress, Validation, Visual Analogue Scale

Brief summary

We spend a third of our life at work. Psychosocial risks (PSR) are a major issue in occupational health 1. Approaching the different dimensions of PSR calls on a dozen essential components: workload, autonomy, social support, burnout, anxiety, efforts made, rewards, work addiction, investment, etc. a specific questionnaire which usually contains 20 to 30 questions, so that having an overall view of PSR using the current reference questionnaires (Karasek, Siegrist, etc.) represents a total of more than 300 questions. The response time is thus incompatible with current medical practice (passage in the waiting room before the occupational health medical examination) and leads to a majority of non-responses during anonymous questionnaires on the Internet. On the other hand, these validated questionnaires were carried out by different people and are very heterogeneous between them, including in their formulation, so that the respondents have the impression of disorganization and anarchy. There is therefore a need for short, quick and uniform questionnaires. EVAs offer the incredible advantage of meeting these criteria: speed, uniformity, precision. From a data analysis point of view, EVAs also have the advantage of offering a continuous quantitative response, allowing the use of all statistical approaches. If some questionnaires have already been validated in the form of EVA, such as the EVA stress versus the " Perceived Stress Scale " questionnaire (PSS), the EVA workload and EVA autonomy at work versus the Karasek questionnaire, the other reference questionnaires are not yet validated in EVA (burnout, anxiety, efforts / rewards, work addiction, etc.).

MeasureTime frameDescription
BurnoutInclusionBurnout on a horizontal, non-calibrated line of 100 mm, ranging from minimum (0) to maximum (100)
AnxietyInclusionAnxiety on a horizontal, non-calibrated line of 100 mm, ranging from minimum (0) to maximum (100)
Job demandInclusionJob demand on a horizontal, non-calibrated line of 100 mm, ranging from minimum (0) to maximum (100)
Job controlInclusionJob control on a horizontal, non-calibrated line of 100 mm, ranging from minimum (0) to maximum (100)
Social supportInclusionSocial support on a horizontal, non-calibrated line of 100 mm, ranging from minimum (0) to maximum (100)
Job demand / job control / social supportInclusionJob demand / job control / social support using the Job Demand-Control-Support (JDSC) questionnaire of Karasek. JDSC assessed job demands, job control and social support through 26 items. The questionnaire measures nine items of job demands, nine items of job control and eight items of social support. Items of JDSC are scored on a four-point Likert-type scale, ranging from 1 = strongly disagree to 4 = strongly agree. Among the 26 items, five negative statements require reverse scoring. From French data, the job strain threshold is set for a demands score higher than 20 and a control score lower than 71; the isostrain threshold is determined from a combining score of job strain and social support lower than 24.
Effort-reward imbalanceInclusionEffort-reward imbalance on a horizontal, non-calibrated line of 100 mm, ranging from minimum (0) to maximum (100)
Work addictionInclusionWork addiction on a horizontal, non-calibrated line of 100 mm, ranging from minimum (0) to maximum (100)
Life satisfactionInclusionLife satisfaction on a horizontal, non-calibrated line of 100 mm, ranging from minimum (0) to maximum (100)
