Translation and Validation of the Individual Workload Perception Scale—Revised for Portuguese Nurses
(1) Background: In Portugal, there is no scale to assess nurses’ satisfaction with their workload. Therefore, this study aimed to culturally/linguistically adapt and validate the IWPS-R scale, with 29 items, to produce a Portuguese version.

| description | (1) Background: In Portugal, there is no scale to assess nurses’ satisfaction with their workload. Therefore, this study aimed to culturally/linguistically adapt and validate the IWPS-R scale, with 29 items, to produce a Portuguese version. (2) Methods: A quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in two phases: translation and adaptation of the IWPS-R into Portuguese, following the steps recommended by Beaton; and evaluation of its psychometric properties in a non-probability sample of 323 nurses working in a hospital centre of reference in Portugal. (3) Results: The final scale obtained a total explained variance of 62.3% and a KMO of 0.88. The reliability was assured through the determination of an internal consistency of 0.88. The construct validity was determined through confirmatory factor analysis. The factorial model presented a good quality fit (X<sup>2</sup>/df = 2.118; CFI = 0.925; GFI = 0.900; RMSEA = 0.059; <i>p</i> (RMSEA ≤ 0.05) = 0.041; RMR = 0.078; MECVI = 1.525; SRMR = 0.0631) with five factors. (4) Conclusions: The Individual Workload Perception Scale-Revised-Portuguese version (IWPS-R-PT) is a 21-item tool with five dimensions: Nurse Manager Support, Team Support, Workload, Organizational Resources and Intent to Stay. The IWPS-R-PT was found suitable for hospital-based nurses and may be useful in other settings where nurses work. |
