Objective: To determine the psychometric properties of the modified Care Dependency Scale for Rehabilitation.
Design: All patients were assessed independently by a different set of two randomly selected nurses.
Setting and subjects: A convenience sample consisting of 1197 patients and 42 nurses was recruited in an Austrian rehabilitation centre specialized on the treatment and care of neurological and orthopaedic patients.
Measures: The Care Dependency Scale for Rehabilitation and the Barthel Index.
Data analysis: To estimate aspects of reliability, Cronbach’s alpha, Cohen’s kappa, percentage agreement, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and standard error of measurement (SEM) were calculated. To evaluate the construct validity, a factor analysis was conducted. Criterion-related validity was examined by comparing data of the modified Care Dependency Scale for Rehabilitation with the Barthel Index and Pearson calculation.
Results: The calculation of Cronbach’s alpha yielded values of 0.97. Kappa values were between 0.89 and 0.96, values of percentage agreement between 96% and 99%, ICC values between 0.94 and 0.99, and SEM values between 0.08 and 0.17. Pearson (r) was 0.88. The factor analysis revealed a one-factor solution.
Conclusion: The modified Care Dependency Scale for Rehabilitation shows a high internal consistency, as well as a high level of equivalence. Furthermore, criterion-related validity and construct validity have shown satisfying results.
Nursing practice is increasingly focusing on delivering care based on empirical evidence or research findings. As primary providers of direct patient care, nurses and nursing students need to use current knowledge to meet this evidence-based nursing demands. Achieving this issue is challenging because nurses and nursing students may not have the knowledge and skills to interpret and critically appraise scientific literature. Traditional face to face journal club formats, founded by Sir William Osler in 1875, have been used as teaching method in health care to share new knowledge, to discuss current research findings in relation to clinical practice and to improve reading and appraising skills. This format is typically based on a presentation session followed by a group discussion. Limitations of such formats include lack of interest, time or research expertise. To overcome some of these barriers, virtual journal club (VJC) formats have been developed using social media, intranet, e-mail or learning platforms to discuss in synchronous and asynchronous ways. By combining the two concepts of online learning and VJC, we have been creating an opportunity for nurses and nursing students to learn collaboratively while discussing evidence-based practice knowledge at a time and place of convenience. Using the example of the learning platform Moodle, this article provides general suggestions for people who are interested in creating and organizing their own VJC.
Singen bei der Körperpflege
(2018)
Singen kann den Zugang zu Personen erleichtern, die Pflege zurückweisen. Gleichzeitig profitieren sowohl pflegebedürftige Personen als auch Pflegende selbst von dieser Art der Intervention. Der Beitrag fasst zusammen, wie sich das Singen von Pflegekräften auf das abwehrende Verhalten der Pflegebedürftigen auswirkt.
Ideal für den Unterricht an beruflichen Gymnasien und Fachoberschulen im Bereich Gesundheit. WeiterWissen verbindet die Handlungsfelder Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung sowie Therapie, Pflege und Rehabilitation.
