Summary: the Challenging Behaviour inspection instrument explored further. Experiences and intention to comply within psychogeriatrics.

The Challenging Behaviour inspection instrument has been well received by psychogeriatric nursing-home organizations. Directors, managers and care professionals (physicians, psychologists and nursing professionals) are enthusiastic about the new inspection instrument and the different elements in it, including the Short Observational Framework for Inspection (SOFI). They also have the intention to comply with the recommendations resulting from inspections using the instrument. Improvements can be made in the way the inspections are conducted and by creating the right expectations within the psychogeriatric nursing-home organizations. (aut. ref.)
