Nurses' attitudes to patient activation.

Levels of engagement of patients in rehabilitation activities in elderly care wards tend to be low, despite evidence that activity improves functional recovery. Since most patients in such wards spend their day in the direct care of nurses, an activation programme was established in a Liverpool elderly care unit. Informally, nurses expressed general feelings of satisfaction with the programme, but some disquiet was also noted. A survey of their attitudes towards the patient activation programme was therefore undertaken. No significant differences were found between the attitudes of nurses according to grade or between experimental and control wards, but a significant difference was noted between each of the four wards when regarded as independent variables. These findings suggest the need for 'ownership' of developments in rehabilitation care.
