    Introduction: The self-efficacy of caregivers is an important matter that merits investigation, and this requires that the concept of self-efficacy be measured with a valid, reliable instrument. Materials and Methods: This research examined the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Revised Scale for Caregiving Self-Efficacy. A sociodemographic form and the Revised Scale for Caregiving Self-Efficacy were employed to collect data from April through December 2019. A total of 250 family caregivers were included in the study, which assessed the content validity, construct validity and reliability of the Revised Scale for Caregiving Self-Efficacy. Results: All 18 items had signi.cant item-to-total correlations (p <0.05). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.82 for the total scale, 0.76 for the self-efficacy in obtaining respite subscale, 0.82 for the self-efficacy in responding to disruptive patient behaviours subscale and 0.96 for the self-efficacy in controlling upsetting thoughts about caregiving subscale. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the Revised Scale for Caregiving Self-Efficacy is a valid, reliable measurement tool and suitable to the Turkish culture.

    Prevalence of Physical Restraint: a Cross-Sectional Observational Study

    Introduction: Physical restraint (PR) is commonly used in healthcare institutions worldwide and controversial strategies in the medical field. The purpose of this study was to determine the PR prevalence in adult patients at a university hospital in Turkey. Materials and Methods: An observational and cross-sectional design was carried out. Prevalence rates were computed. A total of 6698 patients in 30 units were evaluated at 10 unit visits between July-September 2018. Patient and PR information form was used. Two researchers visited the units and proceeded with data collection. The study population consisted of all patients who were present in the hospital on the day of data collection. Results: Among 6698 patients, 287 (4.3%) patients were restrained. The highest overall prevalence of 69.6% was in the surgical intensive care unit (ICU). The main reasons reported for using restraints were the prevention of pulling out medical devices (47 %). Age (p = 0.000) and units (e.g., surgical units, ICUs) (p = 0.000) were statistically significant predictors of PR. Age (p = .000) and units (p =.000) were statistically significant predictors of PR. The results show that for every additional 0.038 year in patients age, the patient becomes 1.038 times more likely to be restrained. Conclusion: In Turkey, the rate of application of PR is similar to that of world figures. Age is a very important variable in the use of PR. As they get older, their risk of being exposed to PR increases.
