This study creates and validates a short, Italian-language scale to measure teacher burnout. To this end, we used two scales from the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory which had already been translated into Italian in a previous study. We administered this measure to two samples of teachers (n1 = 2688 and n2 = 676) in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland. The final scale consisted of 10 items that measure teacher burnout on the dimensions of work- and student-related burnout. We performed exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to assess the psychometric properties of the instrument as well as conducting analyses of invariance between the sexes and across school sectors. Results showed that work- and student-related burnout were significantly correlated with the constructs of perceived workload, optimism, and life satisfaction. Moreover, neither dimension of burnout was associated with sex, age, seniority, or family status, although both dimensions of burnout were significantly correlated with professional status and percentage of working hours per week. Overall, the analyses show that the final short scale is a valid instrument for measuring teacher burnout. Because of its brevity, this scale can easily be integrated into surveys conducted by public health institutions and education departments.

意大利语小量表的验证以衡量教师倦怠

本研究创建并验证了一个简短的意大利语量表来衡量教师倦怠。为此，我们使用了哥本哈根倦怠量表中的两个量表，该量表在之前的研究中已被翻译成意大利语。我们对瑞士提契诺州的两个教师样本（n1 = 2688 和 n2 = 676）进行了这项测量。最终的量表由 10 个项目组成，用于在与工作和学生相关的倦怠维度上衡量教师的倦怠。我们进行了探索性和验证性因素分析，以评估该工具的心理测量特性，并对性别之间和跨学校部门的不变性进行分析。结果表明，与工作和学生相关的倦怠与感知工作量、乐观和生活满意度的结构显着相关。而且，职业倦怠的两个维度都与性别、年龄、资历或家庭状况无关，尽管职业倦怠的两个维度都与专业地位和每周工作时间的百分比显着相关。总体而言，分析表明最终的短期量表是衡量教师倦怠的有效工具。由于其简洁，这个量表可以很容易地整合到公共卫生机构和教育部门进行的调查中。
