“…The ReSpect Scale has also been rigorously developed and tested on older patients' views. In these tests, the psychometric properties of the ReSpect Scale proved to be good and the criterion validity was supported (Koskenniemi et al, ). However, although the instruments used were valid and reliable, the results must be interpreted with caution.…”

“…In the previous study, Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the total ReSpect Scale have been 0.98 overall and the two parts 0.92 (Being with) and 0.97 (Doing for). In this study, the sub-scales of both parts ranged from 0.91-0.93 (Koskenniemi et al, 2018).…”

“…These respect-related factors have been reported as promoting patients' satisfaction within the patient-nurse relationship (Kahn et al, 2015;Koskenniemi et al, 2018Koskenniemi et al, , 2015. Earlier studies have also stated that patients who are dissatisfied with their care are more often in danger of being treated disrespectfully, even abused (Buzgova & Ivanova, 2011;DeHart et al, 2009).…”

“…Respect is demonstrated within healthcare relationships (Dickert & Kass, ; Koskenniemi, Leino‐Kilpi, & Suhonen, ) and is therefore a value‐based, abstract concept that is difficult to measure. To circumvent this issue and because patients' perceptions of respect in nursing care are developed from their personal experiences, formal measurements of respect must use the same terms patients use to reduce misinterpretation and misunderstanding (DiBartolo, ; Koskenniemi, Leino‐Kilpi, Stolt, Puukka, & Suhonen, ; Koskenniemi et al, ).…”

Aims and objectives To investigate older hospital patients' perceptions of respect in a patient–nurse relationship and its associated factors. Background To be cared for with respect is fundamental to ethical nursing care. However, respect has seldom been a main topic of nursing research, and few of these studies have assessed older patients' perceptions of being respected by nurses alongside associated factors. Design A cross‐sectional, descriptive and correlational survey design. Methods Hospitalised older patients (n = 200) were interviewed using the ReSpect Scale, measuring respect within the nurse–patient relationship, the EuroQol 5D‐5L, measuring perceived health status, and the Patient Satisfaction Scale, measuring satisfaction with nursing care. Sociodemographic characteristics were also collected. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, the t test and analysis of variance. The STROBE Statement was used for reporting this research. Results Older patients reported moderate levels of perceived respect in their patient–nurse relationships. A statistically significant, strong positive correlation between patient satisfaction and their perceptions of respect was found. Poor perceived health status was also statistically significantly associated with older patients' perceptions of respect. No statistically significant associations between patients' other sociodemographic characteristics and their perceptions of respect were found. Conclusions The identification of factors and their associations with respect is a basic step towards theory generation. Further empirical research is needed to test the preliminary associations found in this study to further develop the current understanding of respect and its associated factors. Relevance to clinical practice The older patients' perceptions of respect highlighted in this study show the need for the further consideration, reflection and development of this important aspect of the relationship between patients and nurses. The identification and measurement of respect and its associated factors may help to improve respect in nursing care making it more visible in the care of older people.
