- Empoderamento psicológico em enfermagem – tradução, adaptação e validação do "Psychological Empowerment Instrument"Publication . Teixeira, Abílio Cardoso; Nogueira, Maria; Alves, PauloBACKGROUND: Professional Empowerment in Nursing has a positive impact on the nurse, the patient, the Health institutions and the subject of nursing itself and it is, therefore, of the utmost importance. AIM: The need for this study came from the absence of an instrument capable of measuring Empowerment validated for the Portuguese population (from a psychological perspective). We aimed to translate, adapt and validate the "Psychological Empowerment Instrument". METHODS: In a methodological study, through translation and back-translation, while using a stratified probability sample formed by nurses in a general hospital in Oporto, Portugal. RESULTS: Four factors were identified through the factor analysis coinciding with those identified by Spreitzer (1995). These factors explain 73,504% of the total variance of the scale and isolated they explain 24,459 (Meaning), 18,780 (Impact), 15,470 (Self-determination) and 15,028 (Competence). The reliability of the scale was estimated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, with a total of 0,824 (the value of the different dimensions ranging from 0,688 to 0,868), and so we considered that this scale had internal consistency. We also verified a statistically significant correlation between different dimensions, varying Pearson’s correlation coefficients between 0.173 and 0.594. CONCLUSION: Therefore, we believe to have obtained a version of "Psychological Empowerment Instrument" valid for the sample under study.
- Empoderamento estrutural em enfermagem: tradução, adaptação e validação do Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire IIPublication . Teixeira, Abílio Cardoso; Nogueira, Maria Assunção Almeida; Alves, PauloBackground: Professional empowerment in nursing is highly important in organizations due to its impact on the organizations themselves, patients, nurses, and the nursing discipline. However, our search revealed no instrument capable of measuring it which had been validated for Portuguese nurses. Objective: To translate, adapt and validate the Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire II (CWEQ -II). Methodology: Methodological study, with a process of translation and back-translation, using a stratified probability sample consisting of nurses from a Portuguese teaching hospital. Results: Six factors emerged factor analysis, explaining 72.925% of the total variance of the scales. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the factors was .85 (Opportunity), .86 (Information), .89 (Support), .797 (Resources), .81 (Formal Power) and .68 (Informal Power), and the overall value was .91. We obtained a reference value of 18.94 for structural empowerment, which is in line with other published studies. Conclusion: We translated, adapted and validated a version of the CWEQ-II for use in Portuguese nurses
