[Questionnaire to evaluate the importance of the family in nursing care. Validation of the Spanish version (FINC-NA)]. / Cuestionario para evaluar la importancia de la familia en los cuidados de enfermería. Validación de la versión española (FINC-NA).

BACKGROUND: The nursing profession is focused on patient care, without forgetting that patients are part of a social group, the family. The aim of this study was the adaptation of the "Families' Importance in Nursing Care-Nurses' Attitudes" (FINC-NA) scale to the Spanish language and its validation. METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out, using the bidirectional translation method for linguistic-cultural adaptation. It was applied to the nursing staff in the Paediatric Department of a University Hospital in Madrid. To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Spanish version, reliability, internal consistence and construct validity were calculated. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 274 professionals. Cronbach´s Alpha coefficient for the total scale was 0.864, oscillating between 0.888 and 0.769 in the subscales. The principal components factor analysis identified 4 factors, which explained 54.22% of total variance. CONCLUSIONS: The new instrument makes it possible to determine the importance nurses give to participation by family members and their attitude to involving the latter in patient care, and the possibility of involving them in planning. It has been adapted to the Spanish population with good psychometrics results and enough evidence for its use in this context.

Cuestionario para evaluar la importancia de la familia en los cuidados de enfermería. Validación de la versión española (FINC-NA) / Questionnaire to evaluate the importance of the family in nursing care. Validation of the Spanish version (FINC-NA)

Fundamento: La profesión de enfermería se centra en el cuidado del paciente, sin olvidar que éste forma parte de un grupo social, la familia. El objetivo del presente estudio es adaptar la escala "Families' Importance in Nursing Care-Nurses' Attitudes" (FINC-NA) al español. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal descriptivo utilizando el método de traducción directa e inversa para obtener la adaptación lingüístico-cultural. Los participantes fueron los profesionales de enfermería del Departamento Materno-Infantil del H.G.U. Gregorio Marañón de Madrid. Para evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión española, se valoró la fiabilidad, analizando la consistencia interna y la validez por medio del análisis de la estructura factorial. Resultados: Con una muestra de 274 profesionales se obtuvo un coeficiente alfa de Cronbach para el cuestionario total de 0,864 para la escala total, oscilando entre 0,888 y 0,769 en las subescalas. El análisis factorial identificó 4 factores que explicaron el 54,22% de la varianza total. Conclusiones: Se ha obtenido un instrumento que permite conocer la importancia que dan los profesionales de enfermería a la participación de las familias y su actitud con la implicación de estos en los cuidados de los pacientes y la posibilidad de involucrarles en su planificación, adaptado a la población española, con buenas características psicométricas y suficiente evidencia para su utilización en población española (AU)

Evaluación y dimensiones que definen el clima y la satisfacción laboral en el personal de enfermería / Evaluation and dimensions that define the labor environment and job satisfaction in nursing staff

Objetivos. Describir las dimensiones con mayor impacto en la valoración de la satisfacción laboral y en la valoración del clima laboral en el personal de enfermería en un hospital de alta complejidad. Métodos. Estudio transversal analítico y observacional realizado a personal de enfermería en situación laboral estable. Métodos. El instrumento utilizado es un cuestionario adaptado de la encuesta de satisfacción Osakidetza. Variables resultado: valoración global del clima y satisfacción laboral. Variables independientes: características de las personas y de las organizaciones. Métodos. Se ha realizado un análisis multivariante global y por categoría profesional. Resultados. Se recibieron 1.676 cuestionarios. Edad media: 40,8 años (9,7); antigüedad: mediana 12 años (RI: 4–20). Resultados. La valoración media global del clima laboral fue de 5,9 (2) y de la satisfacción 6,7 (2). Resultados. Las variables que explican el clima laboral son: condiciones físicas, formación, satisfacción, promoción, organización interna, relación con compañeros, relación con compañeros de otros turnos, conocimiento de objetivos de la dirección y adecuación de las decisiones de la dirección y la satisfacción laboral son: aprovechamiento de la capacidad, reconocimiento, organización interna, satisfacción, información recibida, conocimiento de los objetivos de la dirección y receptividad de la dirección. Conclusiones. La valoración global tanto del clima como de la satisfacción es buena/alta tanto de modo global como por categorías, aunque las dimensiones que determinan esta valoración son diferentes dependiendo de cada categoría. Se observa que las dimensiones que definen el clima laboral están más relacionadas con el entorno laboral y las que definen la satisfacción más relacionadas con los profesionales(AU)

Objectives. To describe the dimensions with the greatest impact on the job satisfaction and work environment in the nursing staff in a tertiary hospital. Methods. Cross-sectional analytical and observational study, carried out in nurses with a full-time job. Methods. The instrument used was a questionnaire adapted from the satisfaction survey of the Basque Country (Spain) Outcome variables: global evaluation of work environment and job satisfaction. Independent variables: characteristics of individuals and organizations. Methods. An overall and by professional categories analysis has been made by a multivariate regression. Results. 1676 questionnaires were received. Average age: 40.8 years (9.7) Seniority: Median: 12 years (IR: 4–20). Results. The average overall evaluation of work environment was 5.9 (2) and of the job satisfaction 6.7 (2). Results. The variables that explain the work environment are: physical conditions, training, satisfaction, promotion, organization, relationships with colleagues, knowledge of the directive objectives, adequacy of management decisions. Job satisfaction is defined by: use of the professional capacity, recognition, organization, satisfaction, information, knowledge of the directive objectives and receptiveness of nursing directive. Conclusions. The overall evaluation of work environment and job satisfaction is good/high overall and by categories, although the dimensions that determine the evaluation are different depending on each category. It is noted that the dimensions that define the work environment are more related to work environment and those which define job satisfaction are more related to individual factors(AU)
