Setting an agenda for clinical nursing research in long-term care.

Twenty nurse experts participated in a four-round Delphi study to identify topics requiring clinical nursing research in long-term care. The Delphi strategy elaborated 265 items grouped in seven categories, with 73 items under the category of clinical practice. After four rounds, participants ranked the top-rated 50 items overall in serial importance. Nineteen of the 50 items were clinical practice items. A weighted rank than identified the top 10 items requiring investigation. Of these 10, the item deemed most important was patient-centered outcomes, an item subsuming all clinical nursing research.

Types and meanings of caring behaviors among elderly nursing home residents.

This grounded theory study explored and described the types and meanings of caring behaviors engaged in by elderly nursing home residents. Data were derived from observation of participants and in-depth interviews with residents in one nursing home during a three-month period. One of two substantive theories--a categorical model of the various types of caring behaviors residents engaged in--is discussed. Engagement in caring behaviors was found to be a universally important means for residents to maintain their esteem, self-identity and continuation of personhood. The properties of caring which emerged included protecting, supporting, confirming and transcending.
