- BACKGROUND: The prevalence of pressure injuries among community-dwelling older adults in countries worldwide is still a serious problem. In Indonesia, older adults mostly rely on family members for (medical) care. Therefore, involving family members in the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries (PIs) could potentially decrease its prevalence rates. However, family members are usually not trained for such tasks. Hence, it is essential to first get more insight into the current state of affairs on family members' knowledge, attitude and actual practice of preventing PIs. Due to the lack of an existing instrument to measure knowledge, attitude and practice of family caregivers in preventing PIs, this study focuses on the development and evaluation of psychometric properties of such an instrument.METHODS: Three phases of instrument development and evaluation were used, including item generation, instrument construction and psychometric testing of the instrument. A total of 372 family caregivers of community-dwelling older adults who randomly selected participated in this study. Principal factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha were performed to evaluate factor structure and internal consistency of the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Family Caregivers at Preventing Pressure Injuries (KAP-PI) instrument.RESULTS: The final version of the KAP-PI-instrument consists of a 12-item knowledge domain, a 9-item attitude domain, and a 12-item practice domain with Cronbach's Alpha values of 0.83, 0.93 and 0.89, respectively. The instrument appeared to be both reliable and valid.CONCLUSION: The KAP-PI instrument can be used in family nursing or community nursing practice, education, and research to assess knowledge, attitude and practice of pressure injury prevention of family caregivers.

- This study investigates nurse managers' perception of organizational safety culture and team efficacy, in managing patient and visitor aggression (PVA), and determines the predictors of team efficacy.PVA is a serious hazard in healthcare. A positive organizational safety culture regarding PVA enhances the safety and staff efficacy in managing PVA.A cross-sectional online survey including nurse managers in psychiatric and general hospitals (n=446) was conducted in Switzerland, Austria and Germany (November 2016 to February 2017). Data were analysed descriptively and through binary logistic regression.The key results are as follows: 'Working in a mental health setting' was 3.5 times more likely, 'consideration of the physical environment' was four times more likely, and a 'shared organizational attitude' was twice as likely to predict high team efficacy. In comparison to psychiatric hospitals, general hospital managers perceived organizational safety cultures to be less positive.A positive organizational safety culture leads to the perception that teams are more effective at managing PVA.Consideration of the physical environment and a positive shared organizational attitude regarding PVA are crucial for high team efficacy. General hospitals could benefit from approaches utilized in psychiatry to enhance staff efficacy in managing PVA. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
