Moral injury is defined as a deep sense of transgression, including feelings of shame, grief, meaninglessness, and remorse from having violated core moral beliefs. This study aimed to adapt the Moral Injury Symptom Scale-Healthcare Professionals (MISS-HP) for measure this concept in the Czech Republic and explore its psychometric properties. Sample of healthcare providers (N = 694) completed the MISS-HP questionnaires, the Shirom Melamed Burnout Measure (SMBM) and the Professional Quality of Life scale (PROQoL). Cronbach´s alpha of MISS-HP was found to be 0.62; exploratory factor analysis returned 4 factors. Correlations with SMBM and PROQoL were moderate (from 0.31-0.46), which confirmed the construct validity of MISS-HP. ROC curve analysis identified the optimal cut-off score at 42 points with 75% sensitivity and 69% specificity. Female gender, younger age and atheism were related to higher symptoms of moral injury. Czech MISS-HP was found to be a valid and reliable measure of moral injury.
道德伤害被定义为一种深刻的违规感,包括因违背核心道德信念而产生的羞耻感、悲伤感、无意义感和悔恨感。本研究旨在改编《医疗保健专业人员道德伤害症状量表》(MISS-HP),以便在捷克共和国测量这一概念,并探索其心理测量特性。医疗保健提供者样本(N = 694)完成了MISS-HP问卷、希罗姆·梅拉梅德倦怠量表(SMBM)和职业生活质量量表(PROQoL)。发现MISS-HP的克朗巴哈系数为0.62;探索性因素分析得出4个因素。与SMBM和PROQoL的相关性为中等(0.31 - 0.46),这证实了MISS-HP的结构效度。ROC曲线分析确定最佳临界分为42分,灵敏度为75%,特异性为69%。女性、较年轻的年龄和无神论与较高的道德伤害症状相关。发现捷克版MISS-HP是一种有效且可靠的道德伤害测量工具。
