A self-completion questionnaire composed of two parts was used as data collection tool. Part I was related to the participants’ sociodemographic and professional characterization (gender, age, marital status, educational background, professional status, area of specialty, work context and length of professional experience) and part II was composed of the Scale for the Environments Evaluation of Professional Nursing Practice (SEE-Nursing Practice) [22 (link)].
The SEE-Nursing Practice, built and validated in 2020 [5 ], is composed of three sub-scales. The SEE-Nursing Practice - Structure is the first subscale, composed of 43 items divided into six dimensions; the SEE-Nursing Practice - Process is the second subscale, composed of 37 items divided into six dimensions; and, finally, the SEE-Nursing Practice - Outcome is a subscale with 13 items divided into two dimensions. It should be noted that each item is answered on a Likert-type scale with five options, where one corresponds to “never”, two “rarely”, three “sometimes”, four “often” and five “always” [22 (link)].
The Cronbach’s alpha values of the SEE-Nursing Practice components after the 1st and 4th critical periods of COVID-19 were 0.958 and 0.950 in Structure, 0.918 and 0.920 in Process, and 0.932 and 0.909 in Outcome, respectively.
