Resumo: Abstract: This study aimed to adapt the Compassion Fatigue-Short Scale to Portugal and examine the reliability and validity of the Portuguese version of the scale (Pt-CF-Short Scale) among Portuguese firefighters. The factor structure of the Pt-CF-Short Scale was compared to the one-factor model fit and a two-factor model and second-order factor model in a sample of 512 firefighters. Confirmatory factor analysis procedures confirmed the good fit of a second-order factor model with two first-order factors (secondary trauma and job burnout). The Pt-CF-Short Scale showed good internal consistency evidence. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-10), the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and WHOQOOL-Bref were used as convergent measures to assess psychological distress, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal sensitivity and quality of life, respectively. The measure presented a strong correlation with psychological distress and weak and negative association with quality of life. The Pt-CF-Short Scale contributes to understanding compassion fatigue and its correlates within the context of emergency workers. Results indicate that this scale is a valid and reliable assessment tool in evaluating compassion fatigue.

A estrutura fatorial da CF-Short Scale foi comparada com o ajuste do modelo de um fator e um modelo de dois fatores e um modelo de fator de segunda ordem em uma amostra de 512 bombeiros. Os procedimentos de análise fatorial confirmatória confirmaram o bom ajuste de um modelo fatorial de segunda ordem com dois fatores de primeira ordem (trauma secundário e esgotamento profissional). As evidências de consistência interna mostraram bons coeficientes e boa validade convergente foi encontrada ao correlacionar essa escala com sofrimento psíquico, ansiedade, depressão e sensibilidade interpessoal. No entanto, essa medida apresentou associação fraca e negativa com as dimensões do WHOQOL-Bref. A validade discriminante foi confirmada. A escala Pt-CF-short contribui para a compreensão da trajetória da fadiga por compaixão e seus correlatos no contexto dos socorristas. Os resultados indicam que esta escala é uma ferramenta de avaliação válida e confiável na avaliação da fadiga por compaixão.Edições ISPARepositório do ISPARodrigues, FabianaBártolo, AnaSabino, DanielaSantos, Isabel M.Pereira, AnabelaSilva, Carlos FernandesBoscarino, JosephAdams, Richard E.2023-09-06T11:41:48Z2023-062023-06-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.12/9264engRodrigues, F., Bártolo, A., Sabino, D., Santos, I.
