Abstract
Objective: to assess the external validity and determine the cut-off point of the g_Clinic questionnaire to measure the job satisfaction in Nursing professionals and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) in the Andalusian Public Health System hospitals.
Method: clinimetric study based on the applicability of the g_Clinic questionnaire in a sample of 1,099 Nursing professionals and CNAs. Data were collected from October to December 2017 through an online questionnaire. The clinimetric analysis of g_Clinic consisted in an evaluation of reliability and validity. In order to determine the g_Clinic cut-off point, a receiver-operating curve (ROC) was used, which allowed to discriminate between satisfied and dissatisfied professionals.
Results: the internal consistency of the g_Clinic questionnaire was guaranteed, with a Cronbach alpha’s vale of 0.8. Sensitivity and specificity were 72% and 70.3 % respectively, and the cut-off point was determined at 30 points. The ROC curve calculation showed a 0.754 under the curve area.
Conclusion: the g_Clinic questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument to measure job satisfaction in Nursing professionals and CNAs with 30 as cut-off point. It presents high sensitivity and specificity to detect job dissatisfaction.
