Description
Summary: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.
