Overview: This white paper determines the sensitivity and specificity of physical restraint use reported by nursing staff and reviewed from medical and nursing records in nursing home settings, by comparing these methods with direct observation. The paper also concludes that the interview of nursing staff and the review of medical and nursing records are both valid and reliable techniques for measuring physical restraint use among nursing home residents. This study suggests that the interview of nursing staff is a more reliable method of data collection.
