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.

In the present research project, an attempt is made to delineate the relationship between dependent/independent behaviors of nursing home residents and the consequent behaviors of the staff. In this context, dependence in residents is limited to self-care behaviors during morning care in the nursing home. Subjects were six staff members of one ward in a nursing home and the 48 patients they cared for. Observations of behavior sequences were recorded with the BOSS system by four observers over 11 days for one hour each morning. Interrater reliability, established during eight sessions, ranged from 0.89 to 1.00 (X= 0.946). In terms of frequencies of behaviors, elderly residents exhibited significantly more independent behaviors than dependent behaviors. Staff engaged significantly more often in 'no response', followed by dependence-supporting behavior, and lastly by independencesupporting behavior. In terms of interactive sequences, an independent response by a resident was most often followed by 'no response' from staff. In contrast, staff members almost invariably responded to the dependent behavior of the residents with dependencesupporting behavior. These temporal contingencies when interpreted within an operant paradigm should have consequences for the maintenance of dependent and independent behavior in elderly residents.
