JOAO, Ana Lúcia da Silva et al. Validation of a Nurse Job Satisfaction Scale for the Portuguese population. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2017, vol.serIV, n.12, pp.117-130. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/RIV16066.
Background: Professional satisfaction results from an affective and/or cognitive evaluation. It is an important indicator of the organizational climate and a key aspect in the assessment of organizational quality. Objectives: This study aims to validate a Nurse Job Satisfaction Scale (Escala de Satisfação dos Enfermeiros com o Trabalho - ESET) for the Portuguese population. Methodology: After a pre-test, the ESET was applied to 382 nurses who worked at an EPE Hospital (Public Corporate Entity) in the southern region of Portugal. Results: After an exploratory factor analysis with varimax orthogonal rotation, 6 dimensions were obtained that explained 68.63% of the total variance. With regard to the analysis of internal consistency, adequate Cronbach's alpha values were obtained for the total scale (.96) and for the dimensions (between .85 and .95). Conclusion: The scale proved to have good validity and reliabiity and to be an easy-to-apply instrument for nurses.
