SUMMARY:

Introduction: The development of valid instruments to measure the degree to which an organization is prone to innovation, according to its professionals, is crucial to increase the response capacity of organizations in the face of new health demands. From this, instruments such as the Organizational Functioning and Readiness for Change (ORC) were created. The abbreviated version of Organizational Functioning and Readiness for Change (ORC), called Organizational Readiness for Change (POM) or POM Assessment, contains 65 items distributed across 12 domains.  Objective: translate, adapt and validate the POM Assessment to identify the level of propensity to change in health professionals. Methodology: This is a methodological research developed in 3 stages: translation of the original instrument, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of reproducibility; 32 health professionals from Tangará-RN participated in the research. The research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee and the participants were contacted personally, via email and/or via WhatsApp, informed about the objectives and signed the informed consent, answering the questionnaire via Google Forms. The instrument is self-administered, answered in 20 minutes and will contribute to the realization of other studies that aim to measure the impact of the proposed change in the studied population. The instrument was validated by analyzing the psychometric characteristics: reliability and internal consistency. For test-retest reliability: ICC; and to calculate the internal consistency of the scale: Cronbach's Alpha, using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0 for data analysis. Results: 32 professionals (71.11%) agreed to participate and responded to the test, and, of these, 29 to the retest, with a loss of 3 professionals (9.37%) of the total number of participants. Test: 26 women (81.25%) and 6 men (18.75%), mean age of 32.50 years, mean time since graduation of 6.07 years and mean experience in the area of 5.50 years . Retest: 24 women (82.75%) and 5 men (17.25%), mean age of 32.24 years, mean time since graduation of 5.98 years and mean experience in the area of 5.51 years ; Most nurses (37.50%) and dentists (18.75%) participated in the test; in the retest, most nurses (37.94%) and dentists (17.24%) also participated. Most professionals were assigned to Basic Health Units (UBSs) (56.25%), and to Hospital Santa Terezinha (18.75%;). Regarding reliability, the 65 items of the 12 domains were related and, in general, the POM Assessment presented Cronbach's alpha of 0.898 in the test phase and 0.900 in the retest, in addition to a test-retest ICC of 0.921, which are values considered optimal. Conclusions: The POM Assessment is a short and easy-to-administer instrument, which presents adequate internal consistency, test-retest reliability and agreement values within acceptable limits, which indicates potential for its application in clinical practice and in scientific research, allowing management to evaluate the degree of commitment and participation of its employees within a health unit.
