    Abstract

    Implementing restorative care programs often involves changing the behavior of individuals who work in long-term care settings. The theory of self-efficacy has been used to facilitate such change. The purpose of this study was to test two new measures, the Self-efficacy for Restorative Care Nursing Activities and the Outcome Expectancy for Restorative Care Activities. The study included a sample of 27 nursing assistants; testing was done at baseline and repeated 2 weeks later. Developing reliable and valid measures of self-efficacy and outcome expectations for nursing assistants' performance of restorative care activities is useful to help establish weaknesses in the expectations of nursing assistants and allow for the development and testing of interventions to strengthen self-efficacy and outcome expectations related to restorative care activities and thereby improve adherence among nursing assistants.
