“…Sarsangi et al who conducted the evaluation of workload using NASA-TLX concluded that the NASA-TLX index is an appropriate method to evaluate the workload of nurses that is consistent with the results of this study (12). Widyanti et al tested the validity and reliability of the RSME on students and teachers and concluded that the RSME is a suitable and fast method for evaluating mental workload that is consistent with the findings of the present study (13). Rafiee et al assessed the mental workload in nurses and concluded that the NASA-TLX is a good index for the assessment of mental workload in ICU nurses (14).…”

Background: Mental workload is one of the factors that influence individuals' performance in the work environment as well as their efficiency and productivity. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Rating Scale Mental Effort (RSME) for mental workload in nurses. Materials and Methods: This study was descriptive and cross-sectional conducted on 75 nurses. For assessment of mental workload, first NASA task load index (NASA-TLX) and then RSME were measured. After from data gathering, the data were analyzed using SPSS, descriptive statistics, Student's independent t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation test. Results: The results of the assessment workload using RSME and NASA-TLX index of nurses showed that nurses' workload was high. Pearson correlation test regression coefficient showed a good correlation between scores of RSME and NASA-TLX index (r = 0.72) (r 2 = 0.51). Also there was no significant association between age and work experience with mental workload score in RMSE (P = 0.09) (P = 0.08) and NASA-TLX index (P = 0.08) (P = 0.06). Student's t-test showed that no significant relationship was observed between sex and scores of RMSE (P = 0.08) and NASA-TLX index (P = 0.07). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that RMSE is a good method for assessing mental workload and there was acceptable correlation with NASA-TLX valid indices. RMSE index can be used to assess the mental workload.

“…An open question about factors that influence flight attendants' performance and need to be improved is given to the participants as well as the Indonesian version of the raw NASA-TLX (Hart & Staveland, 1988;Johnson & Widyanti, 2011;Widyanti et al, 2013; de Waard, 2013 that is used to measure mental workload of flight attendants.…”

Flight attendants play a crucial role in the service of the airline industry. The aim of this present study is to examine the mental workload of flight attendants, and it possible relation to the flight duration. Two hundred and one Indonesian flight attendants participate voluntarily in this study by filling out a mental workload questionnaire, the NASA-TLX questionnaire, in the end of their flight schedule. Results show that the mental workload of flight attendants regardless the flight duration is on a range of medium mental workload. Based on flight duration, the optimal mental workload is for 1–2 hours of flight. Implications of the result are discussed.

“…13 In an effort to simplify the measurement of mental workload, the Rating Scale Mental Effort (RSME), a one-dimensional scale that has been used in transportation environments, was developed. 14 The RSME, which has been translated into several languages, including Indonesian, 15 is a scale ranging from 0 to 150, on which nine anchor points are marked at uneven intervals. These anchor points are all descriptions of levels of perceived mental 'effort', such as 'some effort' or 'considerable effort'.…”

The Integrated Workload Scale (IWS) is a scale for the assessment of subjective workload in real-time that was specifically designed for use with train traffic controllers. The IWS has nine anchor points that describe the degree of workload-ranging from 'not demanding' to 'work too demanding'-and captures the multi-dimensionality of workload by incorporating items that reflect time, demand and effort. In this paper, we describe how we translated the IWS into Dutch and subsequently validated the translation by having English-language students, Dutch students and Dutch train traffic controllers rate the individual items of the IWS according to the amount of workload each item conveyed, on a scale ranging from 0 ('no workload at all') to 150 ('complete overload'). A comparison between the ratings of the English and Dutch items showed no significant differences, suggesting that the English and Dutch versions of the IWS are perceived similarly. Moreover, a comparison between the Dutch students and train traffic controllers also showed no apparent differences in the items' ratings. Regression analyses showed a strong linear component reflecting that the items were roughly equidistant on the rating scale. In a final analysis, alternate translations were tested as possible substitutes for some of the original items, but were not considered to substantially improve the scale. In sum, the similarity of the Dutch IWS to the original IWS, as well as the fact that train traffic controllers and students gave similar ratings on the Dutch IWS, suggest that it is a robust and reliable tool for subjective workload assessment across different populations and that it can be reliably translated to other languages.
