Abstract

Nursing as a profession has premised the attendance to individual necessities of human beings and, many times encounters itself into situations in conditions not always favorable in the work environment to supply secure assistance. Organizational characteristics like autonomy, control of the environment, and good doctor-nurse relationship, make a propitious environment for the practice of nursing and allow a nurse's control over patient care and the environment in which it happens. By highlighting that results of assistance are directly associated with activities played for technicians and nursing assistants, becoming important to evaluate the perception of these professionals with respect to the environment of their practice. This study is intended to evaluate the psychometric performance of the Brazilian version of the "Nursing Work Index - Revised (B-NWI-R)" between technicians and auxiliary nurses. It is a methodological study to be developed in two teaching hospitals in the interior of the state of São Paulo. Data collection will be done through three instruments: a) Report characterization of the subjects, b) Brazilian version of NWI-R and c) Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Data will be tabulated in the Excel program - Windows XP and analyzed for statistic services. The NWI-R reliability will be evaluated by means of internal consistency analysis. The construct validity will be checked through the correlation between the average scores of the Brazilian version of the NWI-R scores and the MBI, expressed by the Spearman coefficient.(AU)
