Background. Nursing practice environments (NPE) improve the quality of care, satisfaction and heath results; there are no studies that compare the Primary Health Care (PHC) environments according to their management model. Our aim is to estimate and compare the perception of the quality of the NPE in the PHC in Health Departments (HD) of the Valencian Community (Spain) with management model public or indirect-private (Administrative concession).
Method. Transversal study on PHC nurses from three HD, one with direct public management and two with indirect-private management. The Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index questionnaire, validated in Spain, was administered. Sociodemographic and professional variables were recorded. Variables related to test score were analyzed by multiple linear regression.
Results. Two hundred and sixty-nine answers (80.3%). All HD perceived NPE quality in a positive way, both globally and for the different dimensions (except D4). Indirect private management model HD obtained higher global scores, the same tendency was observed for D1 and D2, and the opposite for D4. Global score was related to age, professional experience, being a coordinator and management model; only the age of the nurses and being a coordinator showed a significant relationship with the score in the multivariate regression model.
Conclusions. The NPE of the PHC of the Valencian Community are of good quality, without significant differences according to different management models of the HD. Being a coordinator and, particularly, the age of the nurses are variables that are independently related to the global score obtained.
