Abstract

This research aims to analyze the perception of nursing staff about the work environment they experience, opportunities for improvement will be identified through self-management of capacities and actions will be put into practice that will be evaluated to determine the impact they produced. Material and method: a study was carried out applying the participatory action research model with the nursing staff of the general boarding school of Sanatorio Allende in the year 2022. For the initial data collection, a digital survey was provided that assessed the personal opinion on the perceived work environment. It is carried out with the complete team of nurses from the general internship, which is made up of 15 nurses. Due to the number of members, a sample will not be made, but all will be contemplated. The process consisted of five stages: approach and awareness, induction, interaction, implementation, and systematization. Results: a synthesis of the most outstanding results in each stage is presented: the origin of the situation raised, review of the bibliography, the actions to achieve rapprochement, the arguments used in raising awareness, the tools for induction, the achievement of the interaction and how the improvement opportunities were applied through a systematization. Conclusions: participatory action research allowed professionals to determine what their current perception of their work environment is, individually they built possible solutions to obstacles in teamwork that could be put into practice collectively and thus be able to reassess in the future if it is It is necessary to preserve or modify actions since they are authors and participate in the improvement actions.
