Juh Hyun SHIN · Journal of Nursing Research · 2019

ABSTRACT Background: The outlook of administrative staff and registered nurses (RNs) plays a critical role in the management of nursing homes.

Nursing homes with RNs with tenures greater than 1 year had statistically significant lower prevalence of falls (β = −0.47, p < .05), incontinence (β = −0.45, p < .05), wei
