Abstract

AbstractThe aim of this study was to adapt the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA‐TLX) to the home care setting and translate and validate it in Italian.An online questionnaire containing the Italian version of the NASA‐TLX adapted to the home care setting was administered to home care nurses to measure workload. Content Validity Index, Exploratory, and Confirmatory Factor Analyses were used to measure the psychometric characteristics of the modified NASA‐TLX.The modified Italian version of NASA‐TLX_HC‐IT showed good psychometric characteristics in measuring the workload of home care nurses, with excellent fit indices. The reliability, calculated with Cronbach's alpha, was 0.73, indicating adequate reliability. A negative correlation between workload and job satisfaction among home care nurses, as well as a positive association between high workload and intention to leave the workplace, was verified.The modified Italian version of the NASA‐TLX_HC‐IT was confirmed to be a valid and reliable instrument to measure workload in home care nursing. Furthermore, the correlation between workload and the intention to leave the workplace among home care nurses was an important result that community nursing managers should consider preventing the shortage of home care nurses.
