Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the scale of job satisfaction (S-23) applied to the nursing team in primary care centers.Methodology: Cross-sectional study (local validation), with a sample of 277 nursing staff members from 27 Primary Care Centers from the provinces of Ñuble and Valparaiso, Chile. Measure Questionnaire 23-item Job Satisfaction (SL-23) was applied. Exploratory factor analysis (principal components) with Varimax rotation was used. Internal consistency was assessed with Cronbach's alpha. SPSS was used.
Results: The original version (SL-23) had a 64.22% of variance and two items with factor loadings with erratic behaviors in the questionnaire, thus they were deleted. With the shortened version (21 items), a 65.716% of total variance and overall reliability of 0.922 was found.
Conclusion: We suggest considering the abbreviated version of the questionnaire to be applied to the members of the nursing team to present better psychometric properties than the original version
