This descriptive correlational study was done to identify ICU nurses´ intention to use restraints and related factors using Ajzen and Madden(1986)´s Theory of Planned Behavior.
Self-reported questionnaires were used to measure intention and related factors. The at Taegu, Pusan and Kyungbuk area in Korea.
The results of this study were :
1. There were significant differences in intention according to age and marrital status, attitude according to education(with indirect measure), subjective norm according to career in ICU(with both measures), perceived behavioral control according to age and career in ICU(with direct measure), and knowledge according to education and position.
2. There were significant correlations among intention and all factors. Intention was correlated with attitude(r=.2119), subjective norm(r=.1112), and perceived behavioral control(r=.3448) with direct measure. Attitude was correlated with subjective norm(r=.2530), perceived behavioral control(r=.3005), and knowledge(r=-.1338) with direct measure. Subjective norm was correlated with perceived behavioral control(r=.1321) with direct measure Intention was correlated with attitude(r=.1496) and perceived behavioral control(r=.2922) with indirect measure. Attitude was correlated with subjective norm(r=.2829) and knowledge(r=-.1390) with indirect measure. Also, subjective norm was correlated with perceived behavioral control(r=.2363) with indirect measure.
3. ICU nurses´ intention to use restraints was explained 16.78% by perceived behavioral control, attitude with direct measure, control belief, and age.
By this study, it was found that ICU nurses reported high level of intention to use restraints. The most important predictor of intention to use restraints was perceived behavioral control toward using restrains, which reflected the easiness and difficulty in the use of restraints.
