MOTA, Valéria Maria da Conceição  e  BORGES, Livia de Oliveira. Working conditions questionnaire: Evidences of validity for health care workers. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.2, pp. 148-160. ISSN 1413-294X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20210015.

We consider the repetitive complaints to working conditions in the public health system, as well as the need for accurate diagnoses that support actions of managers, professionals and users. Then, we developed research to evaluate the validity of the Working Conditions Questionnaire (QCT) to workers in the teams, which act in basic and secondary attention of the Unified Health System (SUS). In the study, 434 workers from Belo Horizonte and other municipalities of Minas Gerais participated. We applied exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses for the categories of working conditions. The results attested that the found factors represent the categories of working conditions for such participants. They corroborated the suitable use of QCT for occupational research and diagnostics in the health system. The results can contribute to build of simplified version of QCT.
