GARCIA PALACIOS, Natalia et al. Clinical framework for nursing in the district of Cadiz. Rev Soc Esp Enferm Nefrol [online]. 2004, vol.7, n.3, pp.6-12. ISSN 1139-1375.

Based on the research done by the American Academy of Nurses on the so-called "Magnetic Hospitals" (concept introduced by L Aiken) we can establish that those hospitals are characterized by supporting professional autonomy, control on the practise mechanisms, a better relationship with other professionals, and keeping qualified nurses. Those hospitals where nurses feel more satisfied show better results with their patients. The aim of this work was to study the degree of satisfaction of nurses in Cadiz with their framework (including autonomy, relationship with doctors, control over their own practise, and support by the organizations). We have performed a qualitative, descriptive, multicentric study addressed to all nurses of haemodialysis in the District of Cadiz. The results show that the perception of these professionals is different from other studies. Therefore, we propose the magnetic hospital as an instrument to support the professional development and the work framework.

Keywords : Magnetic hospitals; Haemodialysis; Nursing practise.
