ABSTRACT

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing nursing practice for physical restraints among nurses in long-term care hospitals. Methods: This cross-sectional correlational study included 151 nurses working at 14 long-term care hospitals. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé’s test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression with the SPSS 25.0 program. Results: The mean score of nursing practice for physical restraints, perception of physical restraints, moral sensitivity, and organizational culture score of the participants were 38.39±3.12 (possible scores=14~42 points), 55.66±10.29 (17~85 points), 132.00±13.28 (34~170 points), and 66.53±8.85 (20~100 points), respectively. Relationship-oriented organizational culture, age, moral sensitivity, and number of patients per registered nurse and nurse aide were significant predictors of nursing practice for physical restraints in nurses accounting for 27% of the variance. Conclusion: This study suggested that relationship-oriented organizational culture, high moral sensitivity of nurses, and optimal nursing staffing may be enhance nursing practice for physical restraints in long-term care hospitals.
