Objectives:
This study considered the factors that facilitated or prevented nursing assistants (NAs) from engaging in restorative care activities.
Design:
This was a qualitative study using a focus group methodology.
Setting:
Study participants were recruited from 6 nursing homes.
Participants:
Participants were nursing assistants (NAs) from a study testing the implementation of a restorative care intervention (Res-Care) study. Of the 244 NAs recruited from the 6 treatment sites, 179 were available at 12 months and 93 (52%) participated in the study.
Measurement:
An interview guide was used during each of the focus groups. Data analysis was done using basic content analysis.
Results:
Sixty-one codes were identified and reduced to 4 themes: facilitators of restorative care; barriers to restorative care; benefits of restorative care; and sustaining restorative care.
Conclusion:
The findings provide an important NA perspective with regard to implementation of a restorative philosophy of care and provide recommendations for future work in this area.
