Abstract

Background

The impact of the physical environment on healthcare staff well-being and work performance is well recognised, yet there is a lack of instruments assessing environmental features from the perspective of staff working in residential care facilities (RCFs) for older people.

Objectives

To develop and provide initial validation of the instrument Staff Perceptions Of Residential care facility Environments (SPORE).

Design

An instrument development and psychometric evaluation study.

Methods

Based on material from a British project, items were translated and adapted for Swedish residential care facilities as SPORE. Care staff (N = 200), recruited from 20 Swedish RCFs, completed a questionnaire-based survey containing the SPORE instrument and two other instruments selected as suitable for use in the validation. In addition, an environmental assessment instrument was used for further validation. Analyses were performed at individual (staff) level and home (RCF) level.

Results

The SPORE subscales demonstrated good internal consistency reliability and were moderately to strongly correlated at the individual level with the subscales of measures of person-centred care, and strongly correlated with the same measures at the home level. The SPORE subscales were also highly correlated with the total score of the instrument used to assess the quality of the physical environment.

Conclusion

The initial validation indicates that the SPORE instrument is promising for measuring care staff perceptions of environmental features in care facilities for older people. SPORE can be a valuable instrument for use in research and in practice to evaluate the environment as part of working towards high-quality care.

Implications for Practice

The design of the physical environment within RCFs can affect the staff's health and work performance. The instrument is useful for evaluating the environment and informing decisions about design solutions that support staff in their important work.

工作人员对住宿护理环境(SPORE)感知工具的开发和初步验证
物理环境对医护人员身心健康和工作表现的影响已得到广泛认可,但目前还缺乏从老年人住宿护理设施(RCF)工作人员的角度对环境特征进行评估的工具。

期刊介绍: International Journal of Older People Nursing welcomes scholarly papers on all aspects of older people nursing including research, practice, education, management, and policy. We publish manuscripts that further scholarly inquiry and improve practice through innovation and creativity in all aspects of gerontological nursing. We encourage submission of integrative and systematic reviews; original quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research; secondary analyses of existing data; historical works; theoretical and conceptual analyses; evidence based practice projects and other practice improvement reports; and policy analyses. All submissions must reflect consideration of IJOPN''s international readership and include explicit perspective on gerontological nursing. We particularly welcome submissions from regions of the world underrepresented in the gerontological nursing literature and from settings and situations not typically addressed in that literature. Editorial perspectives are published in each issue. Editorial perspectives are submitted by invitation only.
