ISAK
Instrument zur stressbezogenen Arbeitsanalyse für Klinikärztinnen und -ärzte
Short abstract
The ISAK identifies problem areas in medical working conditions. It is used in clinics and hospitals as well as for research purposes. The long version of the ISAK consists of 23 scales and 84 items, the short version (ISAK-K) of 14 scales and 30 items, which assess the stressors and resources of clinicians. The ISAK is based on the industrial psychology extension of the Transactional Stress Model and the theory of action regulation. Reliability: The internal consistencies of the scales lie between Cronbach's Alpha = .70 and Alpha = .95. Validity: The ISAK scales correlate with mood variables significantly to highly significant. By means of a confirmatory factor analysis the scale structure of ISAK could be confirmed. The scale intercorrelations speak for the construct validity. Positive correlations exist for the scale group stressors or resources. As expected, stressor scales and resource scales correlate negatively with each other, which is evidence for the convergent and discriminant validity of the scales.
