The objective of this study was to learn the level of satisfaction that nurses have about their work. Participants were 34 nurses, who answered the Professional Satisfaction Index (PSI), translated and validated for the Portuguese language and adapted to home care. The following six components were analyzed: Interaction, Autonomy, Remuneration, Professional Status, Organizational Norms, and Working Requirements. The PSI found in the study was 13.19. This was a low value, considering the possible variation from 0.9 to 37.1, though it was greater than the satisfaction indexes found in other nurse studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
