Abstract
Although nursing home staff is in a key position to prompt residents’ participation in daily (care) activities, care-tasks are often taken over in clinical practice. Understanding nurses’ ‘function-focused care (FFC)’ behavior, e.g. prompting residents to engage in activities of daily living according to their capabilities, and its underlying determinants and beliefs is pivotal to optimize residents’ participation in daily activities. The current FFC-philosophy assumes that self-efficacy and outcome expectations are important determinants of adequate FFC-behavior, however, more integrative models of behavior change address a broader spectrum of determinants, including awareness, motivation and action factors.
