Abstract

Introduction: Concern about the nursing work environment has become even greater since the Covid-19 pandemic, which affected the quantity and quality of nursing personnel around the world. Goal. To describe the work environment of nurses who perform care functions in a hospital in Bogotá, Colombia. Method: Descriptive exploratory study, with a correlational component. The ENLASA questionnaire was sent to all care nurses at the hospital under study through RedCapÒ. Results. The complete questionnaire was answered by 50% of the care nurses (49 nurses) of the institution and invited to participate in the study. 57.1% of the respondents considered the work environment unhealthy. The dimension of structural elements was considered unhealthy (64.49/100), and that of organizational processes as healthy (71.18/100). The unhealthy subdimensions were, in structure, nursing resource planning (54.66/100) and human resource policies (58.91/100) and in processes, nurse-organization interaction (63.10/100). ) and autonomy (66.07/100). No association was found between sociodemographic variables and the nursing work environment. The only statistically significant association between work environment and results was related to motivation to work. (Phi 0.362, p=0.040). Conclusions. It is suggested to intervene the dimensions and subdimensions identified as unhealthy, and continue monitoring this phenomenon.
