Abstract

Objective: To analyze proactive behavior in hospital nurses and compare proactivity levels
between nurses who perform different functions.
Method: Cross-sectional quantitative study with (n = 42) nurses in direct patient care and (n
= 21) coordinating nurses from a public university hospital in Paraná, with data collection performed
from December 2017 to January 2018. A self-administered form was used to extract
variables of socio-professional characterization and the validated short version of the Proactive
Behavior Scale in Organizations. After data tabulation, descriptive and inferential statistical
analysis was performed.
Results: The highest means in all items in the scale were obtained by the group of coordinating
nurses compared to the group of nurses who deliver direct patient care. There were statistically
significant differences in two items of the instrument, indicating a stronger proactive
behavior among the nurses who have management jobs.
Conclusion: The nurses perceived their proactive behavior as positive, especially coordinating
nurses.
