摘要
Many challenges are inherent when conducting research in the older adult population as well as in the nursing home environment. The safety and quality of care provided in nursing homes need further examination through research. The purpose of this paper is to discuss research issues and recruitment barriers experienced by a research team collecting data for a study assessing the education and learning needs of nursing home nurses in central Illinois and related resident outcomes. Research barriers identified in this study include organizational and administrative barriers in, addition to staff barriers. The strategy that was most helpful in gaining access to nursing homes in central Illinois was face to face contact. Future nursing home researchers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the nursing home environment, communicate with nursing home trade associations, and develop personal contacts with area nursing home administrators.
