Abstract
The Nursing Practice Environment (NPE) influences the quality of nursing care. Studies show far better outcomes for clients, with positive results on nursing teams’ satisfaction and patients with improvements in the outcomes of patients and healthcare organizations. The Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) is an instrument that measures the nursing practice environment and is currently the most used at a global scale. The analyzed article proves the instruments reliability in the assessment of the NPE, despite needing further investigation at a psychometric level; and its applicability in different care settings – Other countries besides the US. However, it is emphasized the need to carry out further experimental and longitudinal studies to potentially identify the mechanisms that influence the NPE.



Keywords: Nursing, Nurse Administrators, Quality of Care, Review, Work Environment.
