Objectives:
To analyze nurses’ perspectives on nurses’ work methods in the hospital context.
Methods:
A descriptive study with a qualitative approach was conducted in a hospital in northern Portugal, involving 17 nurses. Semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. Data collected between May and June 2023 underwent content analysis, supported by Atlas.ti software.
Results:
Three thematic areas emerged: “Nurses’ work methods in a hospital context,” highlighting the conception and components of work methods and the methods in use; “Implementation of nurses’ work methods,” emphasizing influencing factors and challenges to implementation; and “Impact of nurses’ work methods on patients, nurses, and institutions.”
Final Considerations:
Nurses’ work methods constitute the structure of nursing care. Some factors influence and some challenges arise in the implementation of these methods, producing impacts on patients, nurses, and institutions.

Objective:
To develop and validate the content of the Nurses’ Work Methods Assessment Scale.
Methods:
Methodological study conducted between January and February 2022, based on the Quality Standards for Nursing Care and Imogene King’s framework. A literature review was previously undertaken to design the scale. The content validation was carried out by 23 experts.
Results:
The initial version consisted of 40 items organized in four work methods identified in the literature. In the first dimension, from ten items, seven were considered, and one was reformulated. Seven of the initial ten items were considered in the second version. The third dimension consisted of seven items. In the fourth dimension, three items were reformulated, and three were excluded, leaving seven items. The final version ended with 28 items, whose Content Validity Index ranged between 0.83 and 1.
Conclusions:
The involvement of experts has become pivotal in the development and validation of the items, providing confidence to the continuity of psychometric procedures.

Objective:
To understand the nurse entrepreneur experience in long term institutions for elderly (LTIE) and to elaborate a theorical model regarding that experience process.
Methods:
Qualitative research with theorical saturation, through analysis of the 10th nondirective interview, audio-recorded and transcribed, according to the Grounded Theory, with nurses in activity and those who had to quit the business.
Results:
Three subprocesses emerged: (A) looking at the LTIE as a promising business to offer to the aging population; (B) discovering herself/himself without entrepreneur training/experience to carry on a social enterprise; (C) changing from preservation, expansion, and finally business discontinuance. The core category (process) was abstracted from the realignment of those subprocesses components: From the dream to expansion, preservation, and business abandonment: nurse training/experience for social enterprise as an intervening component.
Final considerations:
In light of the Business Model Canvas, it showed the experiential process little instrumented by the fundamentals of business management, to support the proposal, overview and altering business.
