Burnout is a severe problem for healthcare professionals.Translation of the Professional Fulfillment Index (PFI) into Japanese would be more useful than the currently developed scales for appropriately measuring burnout and professional fulfillment in healthcare professionals. This study aimed to develop the Japanese version of the PFI and examine its internal consistency, structural validity, and convergent validity in healthcare professionals.

The Japanese version of PFI proved to be reliable and valid for use in healthcare professionals.
