Resumo(s)
A felicidade no trabalho (FT) constitui um fator determinante para o desempenho profissional, a qualidade dos cuidados de enfermagem, a retenção dos profissionais e a promoção de ambientes laborais mais seguros e saudáveis. Conceptualmente, integra dimensões afetivas e cognitivas, como o Engagement, a Satisfação com o trabalho e o Compromisso Organizacional Afetivo, sendo influenciada por fatores individuais e organizacionais. Os enfermeiros em contexto extra-hospitalar enfrentam diariamente situações de elevada exigência e stress, justificando a necessidade de avaliar, de forma sistemática e com instrumentos validados, os níveis de felicidade no trabalho.
Este estudo integrado no Health Work International Project, teve como objetivos identificar os níveis de FT, analisar a relação entre a FT e as características sociodemográficas e profissionais e identificar os preditores da FT dos enfermeiros que exercem funções em contexto extra-hospitalar em Portugal. Realizou-se um estudo descritivo, transversal e quantitativo, com 103 enfermeiros que integravam meios de emergência de Portugal. Para a recolha de dados foi aplicado um questionário sociodemográfico e profissional e a Short Happiness at Work Scale. Dos resultados obtidos salientam-se valores moderados de FT total, destacando-se valores superiores no Engagement e inferiores na Satisfação com o Trabalho. Verificou-se associação significativa entre a prática de atividades de lazer para além do horário de trabalho e valores mais elevados de FT, bem como entre experiência extra-hospitalar e Engagement. O principal preditor de felicidade no trabalho foi a realização de atividades de lazer para além do horário de trabalho.
Os resultados revelam níveis moderados de FT entre os enfermeiros em contexto extra-hospitalar, salientando o papel dos enfermeiros gestores na adoção de práticas de liderança transformacional que promovam ambientes de trabalho saudáveis e sustentáveis.
Happiness at Work (HW) is a key determinant of professional performance, the quality of nursing care, staff retention, and the promotion of safer and healthier work environments. Conceptually, it encompasses affective and cognitive dimensions such as Engagement, Job Satisfaction, and Affective Organizational Commitment, and is influenced by both individual and organizational factors. Nurses working in extra-hospital contexts face daily situations of high demand and stress, which underscores the need for systematic assessment of happiness at work through validated scientific instruments. This study, integrated into the Health Work International Project, aimed to identify HW levels, examine the relationship between HW and sociodemographic and professional characteristics, and identify the predictors of HW among nurses working in extra-hospital contexts in Portugal. A descriptive, cross-sectional, and quantitative study was conducted with 103 nurses who were part of emergency medical services throughout Portugal. Data collection was performed using a sociodemographic and professional questionnaire and the Short Happiness at Work Scale (SHAW). The results revealed moderate overall levels of HW, with higher values in Engagement and lower values in Job Satisfaction. A significant association was observed between the practice of leisure activities outside working hours and higher HW scores, as well as between extra-hospital experience and Engagement. The main predictor of happiness at work was participation in leisure activities beyond working hours. The findings indicate moderate levels of HW among nurses in extra-hospital contexts, highlighting the crucial role of nurse managers in adopting transformational leadership practices that foster healthy and sustainable work environments.
