Operationalization of the concept of 'nursing care dependency' for use in long-term care facilities.

A Dijkstra1, G Buist, T Dassen.   

Abstract

Nursing care dependency and similar terms are frequently used in nursing literature. However, their meanings are still to be adequately defined. This paper seeks to operationalize the concept of dependency for use in long-term nursing care practice. An analysis of the concept of dependency, specifically with regard to nursing care, will present a frame of reference from which a theoretical definition can be stated. Variable dimensions, observable indicators and means for measuring the indicators are presented. The paper concludes with implications for further research.
