Abstract

The authors’ purpose was to examine psychometric qualities of the modified worksite harassment tool in working women. Internal consistency was used for reliability and principal components analysis and correlation for construct validity. Two items were dropped due to poor psychometric qualities. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.78. Two factors (subscales) emerged from dimensionality testing. The abuse scores found using the tool, as well as by the two factors, were significantly correlated with women’s depressive symptoms, stress, and diagnosis with chronic illnesses. Incorporating the modified worksite harassment tool with routine assessment of women in health care facilities within the work settings was recommended.
