description

Aim of the present work was to develop scales for the description of the work situation of physicians and nurses. For this purpose a sample of n = 447 physicians and n = 920 nurses of an University Hospital filled out a new conception work situation questionnaire. Further on they got the subscales work and profession and financial situation of the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (FLZ). After Principle Component Analysis and item analyses we could develop four work situation scales similar for both groups, the physicians and the nurses: 1. chief and hierarchy, 2. conflict ability of the team, 3. work conditions at the ward and 4. cooperation of the professions. The internal consistencies are medium to high with Cronbach's alpha = 0.80-0.90 for the physicians and alpha = 0.83-0.90 for the nurses. The Work Situation Questionnaire in it's forms for physicians (FAA) and for nurses (FAP) are high reliable scales. We also found positive validity indications.
