Development of a short questionnaire based on the Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index in primary health care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Professional nursing environments determine the quality of care and patient outcomes. Assessing the quality of environments is essential to improve and obtain better health outcomes. Simplifying and shortening the way to evaluate environments reliably is also important to help nurses better understand the strengths and weaknesses of their environments. In that sense, identifying essential elements of nursing environments would allow the construction of short assessment tools to improve such environments.

Objective

To construct a short tool to assess primary health care (PHC) nursing environments based on the Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) questionnaire.

Methods

Observational, cross-sectional, analytical study (data collection Februa
