On the other hand, correlations with the dimensions nurse involvement in facility issues (rho=-0.144; P=0.3038), nurse rationale for quality of care (rho=0.149; P=0.2874), staffing size and adequacy of human resources (rho=0.149; P=0.2874), and physician-nurse relationships (rho=0.150; P=0.2841) were not significant.<br />Conclusions: This study provided evidence that nurses’ perceptions of their practice environment were favorable, except for adequacy of staffing and resources. Nurses’ job performance levels were found to be affected by nursing managers’ ability, leadership and support of nurses.</p>}, journal={Salud, Ciencia y Tecnología}, author={Alvarez, Liliana Margo}, year={2022}, month={Jul.}, pages={63} }
