Perception, Attitude, and Knowledge about Physical Restraints among Nursing Personnel in Long Term Care Facilities

Effects of a Multicomponent Restraint Reduction Program for Korean Nursing Home Staff

“…Cronbach's α coefficient was .94 (Evans & Strumpf, ). The previously developed Korean version of the PRUQ with a Cronbach's α coefficient of .93 (J. Kim & Oh, ) was used; in this study, Cronbach's α coefficient was .92.…”

“…A higher score indicates more knowledge; total scores range from 0 to 18. The previously developed Korean version of this scale with a Cronbach's α coefficient of .74 (Kim et al., ) was used; in this study, the Cronbach's α coefficient was .72.…”

The Caregiver’s Recognition, Attitude and Nursing Practice Related to Physical Restraint in Geriatric Hospital

“…The PRUQ (Perception of Restraints Use Questionnaire) developed by [4] and translated by [5] was utilized to measure recognition towards the use of physical restraint in this study. The reliability of the tool is Cronbach's ⍺= .95 in this study.…”

“…The tool developed by [6] and revised and supplemented by [5] was once again revised and supplemented by this researcher. The reliability of the tool is Cronbach's ⍺= .81 in this study.…”
