Perceived Workplace Support Scale – Czech version

Hammond, Alison; Smucrova, Hana; Tennant, Alan; Prior, Yeliz; Gignac, Monique

Abstract

The Czech version of the Perceived Workplace Support (PWSS) has been forward and backward translated, linguistically and culturally adapted and reviewed by an expert panel (including patient research partners and rheumatology health professionals). The research team was led by Hana Smucrova, rheumatology occupational therapist, Institute of Rheumatology, Prague Czech Republic, and Prof Alison Hammond, School of Health & Society, University of Salford, UK.
The Czech version of the PWSS has not been tested in the Czech Republic. A British English version of the PWSS has been tested in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, axial spondyloarthritis and fibromyalgia. The PWSS satisfied Rasch model requirements. Concurrent validity was acceptable. Internal consistency was consistent with group. Test-retest reliability was excellent. The British-English version of the PWSS is reliable and valid and can be used in both research, organizational studies and rehabilitation.
