Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze a nursing team’s perceived priorities regarding the factors that influence their work satisfaction. This qualitative study was performed with the nursing team of a private hospital locate in Rio de Janeiro, between February and May of 2010. A structured form was applied and descriptive statistical analysis was obtained using Excel and Statistica. Similar results were found for the priorities attributed to most factors, for nursing technicians as well as nurses, respectively: material resources (58.62% and 65.00%), salary (62.07% and 80.00%), relationship with co-workers (46.55% and 65.00%), leadership (41.38% and 45.00%), and acknowledgement of the work performed (37.93% and 47.50%). Divergences were found in the hospital management policy: 39.66% of the technicians prioritized the form of supervision and 57.50% of nurses, the career plans and salaries.
