[Job retention and nursing practice environment of hospital nurses in Japan applying the Japanese version of the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI)].

The working environment for nurses is important in retaining nurses working at hospitals. We confirmed the reliability and the validity of the PES-NWI scale based on the magnitude of the Cronbach's alpha coefficient and correlation coefficient between the PES-NWI scale and job satisfaction in this study.
