Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Work Environment (1)

    The Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) will be used to assess the work environment. The PES-NWI is used to measure day-to-day aspects of organizational culture and climate, and is more frequently used in European studies. The PES-NWI is Likert-type with scores from 1 to 4 (strongly disagree - strongly agree). Three category variable indicating favorable, mixed, or unfavorable practice environments: favorable = four or more subscale means exceed 2.5; mixed = two or three subscale means exceed 2.5; unfavorable = zero or one subscales exceed 2.5.

    1year

  • Work Environment (2)

    The American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) questionnaire will be used to assess the work environment. The AACN questionnaire is much broader and covers other aspects related to the work environment. The AACN scoring guidelines for the assessment are: 1.00-2.99 - Needs Improvement 3.00-3.99 - Good 4.00-5.00 - Excellent.

Once the participants have been included in the study, they will be assigned to each group; control group and intervention group by convenience sampling. Baseline data will be collected in both groups. At this time, questionnaires will be collected in both populations and focus groups will be conducted in the professionals assigned to both groups. Once the data have been obtained, the intervention group will conduct the training course. After the training, data will be collected again at three different times: 1) Right after the training: questionnaires and focus group will be collected from intervention group professionals; 2) 6 months after the training: questionnaires will be collected from control group and intervention group; 3) 12 months after the training: questionnaires will be collected and focus groups will be conducted in both groups.
