Abstract

OBJECTIVE: estimate the psychometric properties in the adaptation of the instrument Positions on Nursing Diagnosis to assess nursing staff members' attitudes towards the nursing process. METHOD: methodological study with a non-probabilistic sample of 973 nursing assistants and 632 baccalaureate nurses from 35 hospitals and outpatient clinics affiliated with the São Paulo State Health Secretary. The validity of the 20-items instrument was checked through confirmatory factor analysis, which identified a more generally secondary-level factor, constituted by the three classical attitude factors. Reliability corresponded to 0.954 for the total instrument. RESULTS: the validity and reliability of the instrument Posições sobre o Processo de Enfermagem are appropriate . CONCLUSIONS: further research is needed to verify whether the items behave differently according to the respondent's professional category and to verify the instrument's behavior when applied to student samples.
