Brief summary: The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a training course on a healthy work environment for nurses and nursing assistants in a hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* To evaluate the effectiveness of a training course on a healthy work environment
* To know the perception of nursing and nursing assistants on what is needed to have a healthy work environment, what elements it should contain and whether it has changed after the course has been completed

Participants in the intervention group will receive the training course and the control group will not. Researchers will compare intervention group with control group to see if the training course on healthy work environment is effective.

Detailed description: Concurrent mixed study consisting of different phases in which the qualitative and quantitative parts will be interspersed. The qualitative part will include focus groups, and the quantitative part will be a controlled non-randomised experimental study by convenience sampling according to hospital unit and professional category (nurses and nursing assistants). Multicenter study carried out at Hospital General de Granollers and the Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa in nursing professionals and nursing assistants with one year of experience working in the hospital in any of the hospitalization services or special services. Once the subjects have been included in the study, they will be assigned in each group (control group and intervention group) through a stratification by quotas following the same criteria as in the sampling. The intervention group will receive training (n=56), and the control group will not (n=112). The training will be based on the American Association of Critical Care Nurses standards on a healthy work environment. In both groups, the same data will be collected at different times (before and just after the training, at 6 months and 12 months post-training). The focus groups will not be conducted in the control group after the training. Work environment, burnout, intention to leave the job and staff engagement will be assessed.
