Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a wellness index for workers (WIW) and examine the validity and reliability of theWIW for assessing workers¡¯ wellness.
Methods: The developmental process for the instrument included construction of a conceptualframework based on a wellness model, generation of initial items, verification of content validity, preliminary study, extraction of finalitems, and psychometric testing. Content validity was verified by 4 experts from occupational health nursing and wellness disciplines.
The construct validity, convergent validity and discriminant validity were examined with confirmatory factor analysis. The reliabilitywas examined with Cronbach¡¯s alpha. The participants were 494 workers from two workplaces.
Results: Eighteen items were selectedfor the final scale, and the results of the confirmatory factor analysis supported a five-factor model of wellness with acceptablemodel fit, and factors named as physical ¡¤ emotional ¡¤ social ¡¤ intellectual ¡¤ occupational wellness. The convergent and discriminant validitywere also supported. The Cronbach¡¯s alpha coefficient was .91.
Conclusion: The results indicate that the WIW is a valid and reliableinstrument to comprehensively assess workers¡¯ wellness, and to provide basic directions for developing workplace wellness program.
