Abstract:
A clear and rapid understanding of a health care organization's Quality Work Life is highly important as it can inform decision makers of issues that could impact their workers' psychological and physical health. Research has shown there is a relationship between workers' psychosocial work environment and their health and well-being. The Worklife Pulse Survey is a 21-item questionnaire providing a snapshot of health care organizations' Quality Work Life. This tool is deployed as part of Accreditation Canada's Qmentum accreditation program and is available both in English and in French. The present research sought to validate the 2 versions of the survey as well as the comparability of the generated data. The results obtained from 9578 French-speaking and 16 398 English-speaking respondents support the validity of both versions of the Worklife Pulse Survey as well as the comparability of the responses for all participants, for each gender separately, and for each age group separately.
