Purpose: This was a methodological research to develop an instrument to assess the emotional response of family membersof physically restrained patients.
Methods: A primary instrument with 68 questions was developed based on literaturereview and semi-structured interviews with family members. A group of experts revised individual questions and removed4 irrelevant questions. This secondary instrument, then, was tested with 199 family members of physically restrained patientsin intensive care units of a university hospital. The validity and reliability of the instrument were tested by factor analysis.
Results: After item analysis, 3 questions with a correlation coefficient under .30 were discarded and the
questions with a actor loading under .45 on Varimax Rotation were also removed. After factor analysis on the final 37 questions, 7 factorswere identified; avoidance, shock, helplessness, grudge, depression, anxiousness, and acceptance. The total variance explainedwas 55.63%. The reliability of this instrument was 0.93 of Cronbach’s alpha.
Conclusion: This instrument was statisticallyreliable and valid to measure family’s emotional response to physical restraints of the patients. This instrument canbe useful in assessing the effects of nursing interventions for family members of restrained patients.
