Abstract

In this article, we study the psychometric properties of a short scale (TRANS-18) which was designed to detect safe behaviors (personal and vehicle-related) and psychophysiological disorders. 244 drivers participated in the study, including drivers of freight transport vehicles (regular, dangerous and special), cranes, and passenger transport (regular transport and chartered coaches), ambulances and taxis. After carrying out an exploratory factor analysis of the scale, the findings show a structure comprised of three factors related to psychophysiological disorders, and to both personal and vehicle-related safety behaviors. Furthermore, these three factors had adequate reliability and all three also showed validity with regard to burnout, fatigue and job tension. In short, this scale may be ideally suited for adequately identifying the safety behaviors and safety problems of transport drivers. Future research could use the TRANS-18 as a screening tool in combination with other instruments.

En el presente artículo estudiamos las propiedades psicométricas de una escala breve (TRANS-18) creada con el objetivo de detectar las conductas de seguridad (personales y en el vehículo) y los trastornos psicofisiológicos. Los participantes de la presente investigación son 244 conductores de vehículos de mercancías (comunes, peligrosas y especiales), grúas, pasajeros (línea regular y discrecional), ambulancias y taxis. Los resultados obtenidos constatan, después de realizar un análisis factorial exploratorio de la escala, una estructura constituida por tres factores que hacen referencia a los trastornos psicofisiológicos, a las conductas de seguridad tanto personales como de seguridad en el vehículo. Además, los tres factores obtenidos tienen una fiabilidad adecuada e igualmente se constatan indicios de validez de los tres factores si se toman como referencia el burnout, la fatiga y la tensión laboral. En suma, la presente escala puede resultar idónea para identificar de manera apropiada las conductas seguras y los trastornos que tienen los transportistas. Futuras investigaciones podrían utilizar el TRANS-18 como una herramienta de screening en combinación con otros instrumentos.
