Data collection took place from June 1\u201330, 2020, immediately after the first critical period of the COVID-19 pandemic in Portugal.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>In the analysed environment of professional nursing practice, Process factors were favourable to the quality of care, while the Structure and Outcome factors had a moderately favourable effect. Structure factors related to work contexts (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a&lt;\u200a.001) and nursing functions in patient care areas with COVID-19 (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a=\u200a.001). Process factors related significantly to work contexts (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a&lt;\u200a.001). A significant association was found between Outcome factors and work contexts (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a&lt;\u200a.001) and nursing functions in patient care areas with COVID-19 (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\u200a=\u200a.005).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The environments of professional nursing practice in the hospital under study are moderately favourable to the quality of care. However, the need to invest in nurses\u2019 participation, involvement and professional qualification is clear.
