Abstract

Considerando a importância da avaliação das competências relacionais de ajuda nos enfermeiros, torna-se necessário utilizar instrumentos fiáveis e adaptados aos contextos. Assim, o objectivo deste estudo foi avaliar as propriedades psicométricas do Inventário de Competências Relacionais de Ajuda (ICRA), através da realização de estudos de fiabilidade e validade, no sentido de aumentar o grau de confiança ou de exatidão que podemos ter na informação obtida por meio da utilização deste instrumento. O estudo quantitativo foi realizado numa amostra de 690 enfermeiros, que exerciam funções em seis hospitais e oito centros de saúde em Portugal. Os resultados obtidos indicam a existência de uma estrutura multidimensional das competências relacionais de ajuda diferenciando-se em quatro dimensões (competências genéricas, empáticas, de comunicação e de contacto), com correlações positivas entre si. O valor de Alpha Cronbach obtido por dimensão foi superior a .79, revelador de uma boa consistência interna dos itens por fator.

Considering the importance of assessing nurses' helping relationship skills, it was necessary to use reliable and context-adapted instruments. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Helping Relationship Skills Inventory (Inventário de Competências Relacionais de Ajuda, ICRA), by conducting reliability and validity studies to increase the level of confidence or accuracy of the data obtained using this instrument. This quantitative study was conducted on a sample of 690 nurses who worked in six hospitals and eight health centres in Portugal. The results indicate a multidimensional structure of helping relationship skills, divided into four different dimensions (generic, empathetic, communication and contact skills) with a positive correlation between them. Cronbach's alpha for each dimension was higher than .79, showing a good internal consistency of the items within each factor.
