AB  - INTRODUCTION: Instruments that measure job well-being have the aim to evaluate 
      consequences as individual health due to job unsatisfaction but not nurse 
      perception about organizational health. The aim of this study was to assess the 
      psychometric characteristics of the Nursing Organizational Health Questionnaire 
      (MOHQ), an instrument derived from the Multidimensional Organizational Health 
      Questionnaire (MOHQ) that measures nursing organizational health. METHODS: The 
      MOHQ underwent to content validity by a group of experts that modified and added 
      new items of the MHQ. Afterward the MOHQ was administered to a sample of 1279 
      nurses working in several contexts in Lazio and Umbria regions. Dimensionality of 
      each scale of MOHQ, and concurrent validity of the new items were investigated 
      using Exploratory Factor Analysis approach. Therefore Cronbach's alpha was 
      computed for each dimensions of each scale to examine internal consistency. 
      RESULTS: Statistical analysis confirmed the factor structure of each scale and 
      the reliability of the emerged dimensions. Moreover analyses have shown the 
      importance of the new items to investigate specific dimension related to the 
      nurse organizational context. DISCUSSION: The present study showed that the MOHQ 
      has good psychometric properties of validity and reliability and can be used to 
      study organizational health in nursing population.
