To validate the Brazilian version of the Practice Environment Scale.
The Practice Environment Scale is a tool that evaluates the presence of characteristics that are favourable for professional nursing practice because a better work environment contributes to positive results for patients, professionals and institutions.
Methodological study including 209 nurses. Validity was assessed via a confirmatory factor analysis using structural equation modelling, in which the correlations between the instrument and the following variables were tested: burnout, job satisfaction, safety climate, perception of quality of care and intention to leave the job. Subgroups were compared and the reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and the composite reliability.
Factor analysis resulted in exclusion of seven items. Significant correlations were obtained between the subscales and all variables in the study. The reliability was considered acceptable.
The Brazilian version of the Practice Environment Scale is a valid and reliable tool used to assess the characteristics that promote professional nursing practice.
Use of this tool in Brazilian culture should allow managers to implement changes that contribute to the achievement of better results, in addition to identifying and comparing the environments of health institutions.
验证《执业环境量表》的巴西版本。
《执业环境量表》是一种评估有利于专业护理实践的特征存在情况的工具，因为更好的工作环境有助于为患者、专业人员和机构带来积极成果。
对209名护士进行的方法学研究。通过使用结构方程模型的验证性因素分析来评估效度，其中测试了该工具与以下变量之间的相关性：职业倦怠、工作满意度、安全氛围、护理质量感知和离职意愿。对亚组进行了比较，并使用克朗巴哈系数和组合信度评估信度。
因素分析导致7个项目被排除。研究中各子量表与所有变量之间均获得了显著相关性。信度被认为是可接受的。
《执业环境量表》的巴西版本是一种有效且可靠的工具，用于评估促进专业护理实践的特征。
在巴西文化中使用该工具应使管理人员能够实施有助于取得更好成果的变革，此外还能识别和比较卫生机构的环境。
