PRACTICE
TOOLS |
Quality
Assurance and Improvement Systems (QA&IS) |
| |
|
Restraint
use and compliance with federal regulations may be monitored
as a quality assurance activity. Where there is deviation
from an acceptable threshold of compliance, the process of
seeking improvement should include problem-solving techniques,
such as depicted in Quality
Assurance and Improvement Systems. |

Sample
Activity Schedule (3_SampleSchedule.htm) |
| |
|
Residents
with similar functional levels can be clustered together in
direct care assignments to facilitate implementing a structured
program plan. Although the sample schedules look similar they
are individualized to each group's cognitive level. |

Primary
Nurse Questionnaire (PNQ)
|
| |
|
The
Primary Nurse Questionnaire (PNQ) is a structured interview
guide used in one hospital study (Strumpf & Evans, 1988)
to interview primary nurses about their specific patients
who were subjects; content analysis was used to develop
categories. |

|
Subjective
Experience of Being Restrained (SEBR)
|
| |
|
The
Subjective Experience of Being Restrained (SEBR) is a structured
interview guide used with patients, first in a hospital study
(Strumpf & Evans, 1988) and then in a subsequent nursing
home study (Evans & Strumpf, 1987; Strumpf et. al., 1997).
This instrument was used to guide the interview, but an open-ended
free flowing discussion was sought with the subject; the interviews
were audiotaped and transcribed for content analysis. |
