Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a two-tiered motivational intervention--the Res-Care Pilot Intervention--on willingness of nursing assistants to participate in the Res-Care Intervention, the impact of the intervention on nursing assistants' self-efficacy, and outcome expectations related to restorative care, knowledge of restorative care, restorative care behaviors, and job satisfaction. A sample of 13 nursing assistants with an average age of 47.3 +/- 8.9 (range 29-56) years, the majority of whom were women (93%) and African American (77%), consented to participate in the study. There was a statistically significant increase in outcome expectations related to restorative care activities (F = 8.9, P <.05), a nonsignificant trend toward increased knowledge of restorative care (F = 1.4, P > .05) and documented time doing restorative care activities (F = -.56, P > .05), and no difference in self-efficacy expectations (F = .58, P > .05) or job satisfaction (F = .48, P > .05). The findings provide useful information for future research in restorative care.

The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.
