title: [A survey on working satisfaction of nurses].
abstract: This article details the results of a survey research undertaken by the Azienda Ospedaliera dell'Umbria to determine the knowledge of currently employed nurses on legislation change that has introduced the assumption of responsibility. Said legislation recognises the role of nursing as a true profession, where scientific methodology, on which its growth is based, should help to overcome out-dated perceptions of the role of the nursing assistant. 346 questionnaires were distributed to a representative sample (32.77%) of the total of 1056 nurses. Of these 346 questionnaires, 238 were completed, representing 68.79% of the total.
