Abstract(s)
A IWPS-R foi desenvolvida para ser uma ferramenta importante no fornecimento de informações necessárias para formular intervenções que visam melhorar a perceção dos enfermeiros sobre a sua carga de trabalho e, consequentemente, o ambiente da prática de enfermagem, promovendo, assim, a segurança e a qualidade dos cuidados. Em Portugal não existia uma escala válida e fiável que avaliasse a satisfação dos enfermeiros com a sua carga de trabalho. Desta forma, o estudo teve como objetivo adaptar culturalmente/linguisticamente e validar a escala IWPS-R, dando origem à versão portuguesa da mesma. A Escala de Perceção Individual da Carga de Trabalho (EPICT) é composta por 5 dimensões, com um total de 21 itens. As dimensões são: Suporte do Enfermeiro Gestor, Suporte da Equipa, Recursos da Organização, Carga de Trabalho e Intenção de Permanecer. A EPICT apresenta um alfa de Cronbach de 0,88. É um instrumento de recolha de dados pertinente para o contexto da gestão em enfermagem. Nesta linha, oferece contributos fundamentais, não só para a investigação futura, como para a prática de enfermagem, nomeadamente na promoção de ambientes de trabalho favoráveis nos mais variados contextos
Background: In Portugal, there is no scale to assess nurses’ satisfaction with their workload. Therefore, this study aimed to culturally/linguistically adapt and validate the IWPS-R scale, with 29 items, to produce a Portuguese version. (2) Methods: A quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in two phases: translation and adaptation of the IWPS-R into Portuguese, following the steps recommended by Beaton; and evaluation of its psychometric properties in a non-probability sample of 323 nurses working in a hospital centre of reference in Portugal. (3) Results: The final scale obtained a total explained variance of 62.3% and a KMO of 0.88. The reliability was assured through the determination of an internal consistency of 0.88. The construct validity was determined through confirmatory factor analysis. The factorial model presented a good quality fit (X2/df = 2.118; CFI = 0.925; GFI = 0.900; RMSEA = 0.059; p (RMSEA ≤ 0.05) = 0.041; RMR = 0.078; MECVI = 1.525; SRMR = 0.0631) with five factors. (4) Conclusions: The Individual Workload Perception Scale-Revised-Portuguese version (IWPS-R-PT) is a 21-item tool with five dimensions: Nurse Manager Support, Team Support, Workload, Organizational Resources and Intent to Stay. The IWPS-R-PT was found suitable for hospital-based nurses and may be useful in other settings where nurses work.
