Culture, environment, and restraints: a conceptual model for research and practice.
1. Despite its importance to the care of the elderly, little research has focused on the effects of the environment on health and well-being. 2. It is hypothesized that environmental factors, including cultural attitudes and beliefs of nursing home staff, contribute to restraint of nursing home residents. 3. Nurses can be instrumental in creating a nursing home culture that values a restraint-free environment.
