Abstract
RUA SALINAS, Johana Valeryn; GRADOS LOPEZ, Jessica Jushara and CHANAME AMPUERO, Eva Verónika. Work capacity index in nurses in primary health care, Lima-Perú. av.enferm. [online]. 2020, vol.38, n.1, pp.37-45. Epub Mar 16, 2020. ISSN 0121-4500. https://doi.org/10.15446/av.enferm.v38n1.79693.
Objective:
To determine the estimated work capacity index estimated by nursing professionals in primary health care.
Methodology:
Quantitative-descriptive cross-sectional study. Seventy-two nurses participated, and an instrument consisting of general information and the working capacity index was used, which was validated through expert judgment and pilot testing, resulting in a coefficient of 0.741 Cronbach's alpha. The delivery of informed consent was fulfilled, and the descriptive statistic and chi-square were used for data analysis.
Results:
The working capacity index was considered excellent for 37.5 %, good for 43.1 %, moderated to 19.4 % and no participant estimated a low rate; moreover, it was shown statistically that the number of children has a significant association with the index (chi-square = 14.798, p = 0.022).
Conclusion:
A good working capacity index prevails; therefore, it is suggested to support measures for the improvement or maintenance of work capacity.
