| Annotation | Nurses practising in nursing homes can and must take an active role in decision making for their learning. This planning study was designed and conducted in the predominantly rural Canadian province of New Brunswick. Participants included directors of care, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and resident attendants. The nursing homes ranged in size from 38 to 196 beds and were located throughout the province. In health and planning studies, ethnography conveys a coherent statement of people's local knowledge as culture sharing groups. The study derived information from the Nursing Home Act reports, the literature, key informants, and direct observations of, and interviews with, participants. Leadership strengths defined the roles for categories of staff and supported the capacity of each category to identify their learning needs. (RH). |
