Abstract
A cross-sectional survey design was adopted to validate the Burnout Questionnaire (BQ) on Nigerian automobile apprentice artisan. A multistage sampling technique was used to purposively select 150 (mean age ± SD 21.4±3.6). A total of 150male participants were drawn from selected communities in Ede metropolis Osun State, Southwestern Nigeria. The participants responded to the Burnout Questionnaire, and the Mashlash Burnout Inventory (MBI). Internal consistency of Burnout Questionnaire showed a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of .83, a Spearman-Brown coefficient of .87 and a Guttman Split-Half coefficient of .74. A significant positive correlation was observed between Burnout Questionnaire and MBI, revealing a correlation coefficient validity score of (r = .690, p= .001). The Burnout Question has acceptable psychometric properties for the Nigerian population. The observed group based norm was ≥48.16. Based on the findings, the 17-item of Burnout Questionnaire showed good internal reliability and a valid measure of symptoms of burnout. The authors concluded that Burnout Questionnaire has acceptable psychometric properties for the Nigerian population as it fits well to the Nigerian socio-cultural setting as a measure of burnout symptoms.
