五个分量表来自护理工作指数（NWI）来衡量医院护理实践环境，使用1985-1986年的护士数据从16个磁铁医院。NWI包含了最初磁铁医院的组织特征。的分量表和一个复合措施的心理测量学特性的建立。所有措施在护士和医院水平上都是高度可靠的。磁铁与非磁铁医院的护士得分较高的结构效度的支持。对来自11,636名宾夕法尼亚州护士的当代数据进行的实证分析支持了这些分量表。新措施的合理性是由其理论和经验基础，概念的完整性，心理测量的力量，和概括性。这些措施可以用来研究如何实践环境影响护士和病人的结果。(C)2002 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
Five subscales were derived from the Nursing Work Index (NWI) to measure the hospital nursing practice environment, using 1985-1986 nurse data from 16 magnet hospitals. The NWI comprises organizational characteristics of the original magnet hospitals. The psychometric properties of the subscales and a composite measure were established. All measures were highly reliable at the nurse and hospital levels. Construct validity was supported by higher scores of nurses in magnet versus nonmagnet hospitals. Confirmatory analyses of contemporary data from 11,636 Pennsylvania nurses supported the subscales. The soundness of the new measures is supported by their theoretical and empirical foundations, conceptual integrity, psychometric strength, and generalizability. The measures could be used to study how the practice environment influences nurse and patient outcomes. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
