This study aimed to identify the terminologies of NANDA-I, NOC, NIC, and NNN linkages that have been used for nursing home (NH) residents. This study used a retrospective descriptive design. Data accrued from 57 registered nurses (RNs) in 25 Korean NHs. The RNs randomly selected one resident and assessed for applied NANDA-I, NOC, and NIC from the previous 7 days by reviewing nursing charts and records. Finally, the data of 57 residents in 25 NHs were collected. Results: We identified seven NNN linkages: risk for falls–fall prevention behavior–fall prevention; self-care deficit: bathing/hygiene–self-care: activities of daily living (ADL)–self-care assistance: bathing/hygiene; impaired memory–memory–cognitive stimulation; chronic confusion–neurological status: consciousness–medication management; chronic confusion–memory–medication management; impaired walking–mobility–exercise promotion: strength training; and impaired walking–ambulation–exercise promotion: strength training. The identified core NANDA-I, NOC, NIC, and NNN linkages for NH residents from this study provide a scope of practice of RNs working in NHs.

Abstract This study pilot-tested a 12-week, comprehensive, resident-centered fall prevention program aimed to lower falls in nursing home residents in Oklahoma. Staff from 52 nursing homes received a training on evidence-based fall prevention strategies and fall-risk assessment. Content was present using motivational scenarios that encouraged situational problems solving. Rate of falls, including falls with major injury) were collected for 3 months before (roll-in), during (treatment), and following (sustainability). Nursing homes completing the project (n=29) showed significant decline in falls, including falls with major injury. Staff acceptance and project implementation varied across nursing homes and was related to organizational policies that did not adapt care based on residents needs on any given day. Adaptability, not just knowledge, is important for ensuring the safety of residents. Future work will focus on the role of leadership in promoting more open systems for delivering care.
