Abstract
Background & Aim: Occupational hardiness as a set of personality traits is a source of resistance and protection against stressful life events. The aim of this study was assessment of psychometric properties of Occupational Hardiness Scale.
Material & Methods: A total of 210 nurses were recruited through stratified sampling method and responded to Occupational Hardiness Scale, Beck Depression Questionnaire, and Rosenberg Self-esteem Questionnaire. Data was analyzed by factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha coefficients and Pearson correlations using SPSS-PC (v. 22).
Results: Exploratory factor analysis, item-total correlation and reliability analyses were undertaken to assess the psychometric properties of the Occupational Hardiness Scale. Pearson correlation results indicated a significant relationship between hardiness and depression (r= -0.31 and p&le0.01) and self-esteem (r=0.28 and p&le0.01). Also hardiness scale reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and it was 0.78 for the total scale, 0.81 for challenge, and 0.75 for commitment and 0.88 for control subscales.
Conclusion: The Persian version of Occupational Hardiness Scale had acceptable psychometric properties in nurses’ population and it can be used as a valid instrument in psychological and health research.
