“…Average inter‐item correlations were all acceptable, r > 0·30. A Principal Components Analysis (Varimax rotation with Kaiser’s normalization) produced a three‐factor solution supporting the conceptual basis of the ICS‐Nurse and explaining about 52% of the variance in the ICS‐A‐Nurse (55% in the ICS‐B‐Nurse) (Suhonen et al. 2010a).…”

Introduction:Since the European population is ageing, a growing number of elderly will need home care. Consequently, high quality home care for the elderly remains an important challenge. Job satisfaction among care professionals is regarded as an important aspect of the quality of home care.Aim:This paper describes a research protocol to identify elements that have an impact on job satisfaction among care professionals and on quality of care for older people in the home care setting of six European countries.Methods:Data on elements at the macro-level (policy), meso-level (care organisations) and micro-level (clients) are of importance in determining job satisfaction and quality of care. Macro-level indicators will be identified in a previously published literature review. At meso- and micro-level, data will be collected by means of two questionnaires utilsed with both care organisations and care professionals, and by means of interRAI Home Care assessments of clients. The client assessments will be used to calculate quality of care indicators. Subsequently, data will be analysed by means of linear and stepwise multiple regression analyses, correlations and multilevel techniques.Conclusions and Discussion:These results can guide health care policy makers in their decision making process in order to increase the quality of home care in their organisation, in their country or in Europe.

Aim The aim of the study was to assess Registered Nurses' perceptions of general nurse competence, patient‐centred care competence, and individuality in the care of older patients and to explore their associations. Design A descriptive correlative survey. Methods Data were collected using questionnaires at one Finnish university hospital during winter 2016–2017 amongst Registered Nurses (n = 223) and analyzedd statistically using descriptive and inferential statistics (ANOVA, Pearson's correlations coefficients) and path analysis. Results Registered Nurses assessed their general competence, patient‐centred care competenc,e and individuality in the care of older patients at a good level. The Path model confirmed general nurse competence was a predictor of patient‐centred care competence, which in turn was a predictor of individuality in the nursing care of older patients. The novelty lies in empirical confirmation of the association between nurse competence and individuality in the care. Increasing competence may enhance individuality in the care of older people and enable interventions to support care outcomes.
