Abstract
In 1986, the American Nurses Assodation Counril on Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing urged that nurses formally establish both their dinical authority and their research base in the field of aging. Nurse leaders delivered this message at the Conference on Interdisciplinary Issues in Mental Health and Aging in Washington, D.C. (Joel, Baldwin, & Stevens, 1989). Since that time, nurses have established their place in the field of aging, both in the clinical arena and in programs of research. However, nurses still have a huge job ahead of them in long-term care settings. The state of the art of research in nursing homes is generally inadequate. Because nurses are in the forefront of nursing home care and know more about resident needs than any other discipline, it is imperative that nurses conduct research in nursing homes. Although most nurses realize that good care is a result of good research, and though members of the profession have a long history of writing relevant anecdotal notes about their observations in long-term care, systematic outcome studies in long-term care settings are rare.
