Aims:
The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) for hospital nurses in Japan.
Design:
A cross-sectional mail survey.
Methods:
Participants in this study were 1,219 full-time ward nurses from 27 hospitals in Japan, using 31 items of the Japanese version of the PES-NWI questionnaire, from December 2008-March 2009. Construct validity, criterion-related validity and internal consistency of the PES-NWI were tested.
Results:
The PES-NWI showed reliable internal consistency. The five-factor structure was supported by confirmatory factor analysis. The PES-NWI correlated significantly with job satisfaction, burnout and the nurses' intention to stay on the job, supporting criterion-related validity.
