Greene Burger, S., Kantor, B., Mezey, M., Mitty, E., Kluger, M., Algase, D., Anderson, K., Beck, C., Mueller, C. & Rader, J. (2009). Professional nurses involvement in nursing home culture change: Overcoming barriers, advancing opportunities. New York, NY: Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing. Abstract
This issue paper summarizes the Expert Panel discussion and frames the competencies that need to be developed for professional nurses involved in culture change and resident-directed care.
The paper is divided into the five sections: culture change and research regarding culture change; nursing in nursing homes; culture change, nursing practice and nursing education; recommendations; and next steps. We hope this issues paper will promote discussion as to the actions that might be considered by the broad nursing community (e.g., educators, researchers, and practitioners), leaders of culture change, consumers and consumer advocates, interdisciplinary professional team members, and policy makers with regard to nursing competencies, nursing home culture change, and resident-directed outcomes (abstract from p. 4 of issue paper).
