RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To compare evaluations performed by undergraduate nursing alumni in three dimensions: sociodemographic characterization, identification and insertion into the job market, and professional training evaluation. METHODS: Cross-sectional, quantitative, and multicenter study with alumni of three Brazilian public institutions. Data analysis was carried out according to the internal reliability of the used instrument and by applying descriptive statistics. RESULTS: The participants were 446 alumni who obtained their degrees from 2013 to 2016. Most were women, white (44%) or brown (38%), and were between 25 and 30 years old. Most had a specialization degree or were studying to obtain one (54%), had a paid occupation (89%), and were employed by a single institution (60%), with the care area prevailing (57%) in the sample. High levels of satisfaction were found among alumni of two institutions in the evaluation of content learning and essential experiences for training, whereas the other institution obtained better evaluations regarding professional practice. CONCLUSION: The profile of academic experiences, graduate education, and entry into the job market varied according to the evaluated institution. The findings favored critical-reflective analysis of the institutions' pedagogical projects.

Resumo Objetivo Validar psicometricamente o Instrumento Avaliação de Egressos de Enfermagem. Métodos Estudo transversal, quantitativo, realizado em três Cursos de Graduação em Enfermagem localizados nos Estados de São Paulo, Minas Gerais e Acre, Brasil, com 446 participantes. A confiabilidade foi testada pelo alfa de Cronbach (consistência interna e reprodutibilidade) e a validade de construto foi obtida pela análise fatorial exploratória e pela análise dos componentes principais. Resultados O valor do coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach total do instrumento foi de 0,98; os coeficientes de correlação intraclasse total de (94%), evidenciando forte concordância entre as medições. Na análise fatorial, KMO foi de 0,971 e o teste de esfericidade de Bartlett apresentou resultados significativos (p<0,001) para todos os construtos e as matrizes de correlação entre os itens de cada construto. Conclusão As análises psicométricas mostraram resultados favoráveis, evidenciando forte consistência interna do instrumento. O Instrumento Avaliação de Egressos de Enfermagem é válido e confiável para a avaliação da formação profissional do egresso bacharel em Enfermagem.

Abstract Objective Psychometric validation of the Assessment Instrument of Nursing Graduates. Methods Cross-sectional, quantitative study conducted in three Nursing Undergraduate Courses located in the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Acre, Brazil, with 446 participants. Reliability was tested by Cronbach's alpha (internal consistency and reproducibility) and construct validity was obtained by exploratory factor analysis and principal component analysis. Results The overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the instrument was 0.98; the overall intraclass correlation coefficient (94%) showed strong agreement between measurements. In factor analysis, KMO was 0.971 and the Bartlett's sphericity test showed significant results (p<0.001) for all constructs and correlation matrices between the items of each construct. Conclusion The psychometric analyzes showed favorable results and a strong internal consistency of the instrument. The Assessment Instrument of Nursing Graduates is valid and reliable to evaluate the professional education of Nursing graduates.
