Abstract(s)
This study aims to identify the organizational climate and culture among nurses
working in Immediate Life Support Ambulances (ILSA). Methods: A descriptive,
quantitative, and cross-sectional study was conducted with 81 Portuguese nurses
working in Immediate Life Support Ambulances at the National Medical Emergency
Institute (INEM). The data was analyzed using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
method, followed by a Varimax rotation, and the models were validated using the
Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test and Bartlett’s test of sphericity. Findings: Factorial analysis
yielded four factors, namely: Support (24.5%), Objectives (13.6%), Rules (9.7%), and
Innovation (8.01%), associated with organizational climate and culture. Nurses with an
undergraduate degree perceived significantly more support than those with higher
qualifications. Support also varied according to relationship status, revealing that married
nurses had a higher perception than those cohabiting. Conclusion: Organizational
climate and culture unequivocally contribute to developing a healthy and safe work
environment and are decisive for the quality of nursing care.
