Gerontological nursing: application of ethnography and grounded theory.

1. Health care needs of elders are escalating; however, there is limited gerontological research in nursing and allied health fields. 2. Ethnography and grounded theory are qualitative research strategies that can be used to question current nursing dogma and advance gerontological nursing research. 3. Research development and national funding priorities include technology assessment, continuity of care, and long-term care. Specific long-term care issues requiring exploration include quality, health promotion, self-care agency/independence, and elder dependence.

Intrapreneurial/entrepreneurial roles for nurses in long-term care. Seize the opportunity to be nontraditional.

An increasing elderly population with multiple chronic diseases in need of sophisticated nursing care suggests that long-term care needs will continue to escalate. Recent political changes affecting the industry have led to explication of quality care issues and needs of long-term care consumers. Creative, innovative nurses need to seize the opportunity to influence patient care and the long-term care industry positively and cost-consciously. Intrapreneurial and entrepreneurial nursing are nontraditional nursing roles for self-directed, highly motivated nurses. Opportunities exist for gerontological nurses to design, direct, implement, and provide quality patient care; to serve as primary care providers or consultants; and to own and control a nursing practice.
