Older hospital patients frequently perceive respect from nurses, but improvements are needed in listening and encouragement. The new ReSpect scale shows promise for measuring this crucial aspect of care.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric nursing
  • Patient experience
  • Healthcare quality

Background:

  • Respect is vital in older patient-nurse relationships, encompassing 'Being with' and 'Doing for' patients.
  • Limited research exists on older patients' perspectives of respect in nursing care.
  • A validated instrument to measure patient-perceived respect in nursing is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore older patients' perceptions of respect in hospital nursing care.
  • To evaluate the psychometric properties of a newly developed instrument, the ReSpect scale, for measuring respect.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive, cross-sectional explorative survey design was employed.
  • Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 196 older patients in two Finnish hospitals.

  • The ReSpect scale (Parts A and B) was used to measure respect, followed by psychometric testing.

    • Main Results:

    • Older patients reported experiencing respect frequently, though with some deficiencies.
    • Key areas for improvement include nurses showing interest in patients' views, positive acknowledgment, and supporting autonomy.
    • Psychometric analysis confirmed a two-factor structure for ReSpect scale Part A and a four-factor structure for Part B.

    Conclusions:

    • Older patients generally perceive respect from nurses, with opportunities for enhancement in communication and encouragement.
    • The ReSpect scale demonstrates potential as a reliable tool for assessing respect in healthcare.
    • This scale can support value-based healthcare by measuring an essential component of quality care.
