Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Objective:

To assess the reliability and validity of the Brazilian version of the Nursing Work Index-Revised among nursing aides and technicians.

Methods:

A methodological cross-sectional study was conducted in two teaching hospitals. The sample consisted of 150 subjects and data were collected with the use of a personal and professional information sheet, the Brazilian version of the Nursing Work Index-Revised for nursing aides and technicians and the Maslach Burnout Inventory.

Results:

Cronbach’s alpha varied from 0.58 to 0.77 among the subscales of the Nursing Work Index-Revised and all its subscales obtained significant correlation with the subscales of the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the “job satisfaction,” “intention to leave the job,” and “nurse perception of quality of care” variables.

Conclusion:

The instrument presented reliability and validity for evaluating the practice environment of these professionals.
