Work Transitions Index - British English

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

Abstract

The British English version of the Work Transitions Index (WTI) has been psychometrically tested in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), osteoarthritis (OA) and fibromyalgia (FM). The WTI was forward translated, reviewed by an expert panel and cognitive debriefing interviews conducted, with changes to the WABPPS made. The WTI was tested with 831 employed participants who completed questionnaires: 267 men; 564 women; 53.5 (SD 8.9) years of age; with condition duration 7.7 (SD 8.0) years. Concurrent validity of Part 2 (transitions) was acceptable. Internal consistency was consistent with group. Test-retest reliability was excellent. The British-English version of the WTI is reliable and valid and can be used in both research, organizational studies and rehabilitation.
