Results:
The scale scores were high, with a mean value of 82.1 (SD=8.4) favorable to the families' involvement, and are related to being a nurse in the Family Health Strategy (p<0.001), having received education/training in family nursing (p<0.005), the workload of 40 hours/week (p<0.005), working in the West, East and Center Regions (p<0.005).
Conclusion:
Most nurses have positive attitudes towards the involvement of families, a relevant indicator for their inclusion in the health-mental care process.
