The need for educated nursing leaders in long-term care facilities is critical now and will continue to be well into this century. The purpose of this research was to replicate and geographically extend a descriptive survey conducted by Heine (1995) to determine the roles and responsibilities of directors of nursing (DONs) in long-term care nursing facilities (LTCNF) as well as their educational preparation, current professional credentials, and educational needs. 945 DONs in LTCNF in New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont) as identified in state directories of nursing home facilities were surveyed. Completed questionnaires were returned by 247 DONs for an overall response rate of 26%. DONs in LTCNF reported that they were most involved in roles/responsibilities related to nursing/health services management and least involved in professional nursing and long-term care management.
如今，长期护理机构对受过专业教育的护理领导者的需求至关重要，并且这种需求在本世纪仍将持续。本研究的目的是重复并在地理范围上扩展海涅（1995年）进行的一项描述性调查，以确定长期护理机构（LTCNF）中护理主任（DONs）的角色和职责，以及他们的教育背景、当前的专业资质和教育需求。我们对新英格兰地区（康涅狄格州、缅因州、马萨诸塞州、新罕布什尔州、罗德岛州和佛蒙特州）养老院设施州名录中确定的945名长期护理机构护理主任进行了调查。247名护理主任返回了完整的问卷，总体回复率为26%。长期护理机构的护理主任报告称，他们最常参与的角色/职责与护理/健康服务管理相关，而参与专业护理和长期护理管理的程度最低。
