Background: The prevention and control of nursing risks play a critically important role in ensuring safety and maintaining the health of the elderly in long-term care facilities. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted on participants in 16 long-term care facilities using a semi-structured interview. The transcribed interviews and field notes written during the visits were analyzed inductively following a constant comparative method as described in Grounded Theory. Data were analyzed using framework analysis and domains, and the NVivo 10 software was used to refine themes and build relationships among themes. The authors followed the COREQ guidelines to ensure rigour in the study.Results: A total of 28 participants (18 managers, 5 head nurses, 2 qualified nurses, and 3 healthcare assistants) were interviewed. In the risk warning model, nursing risks (factors that affect risks, consequences), risk early warning intervention measures (risk assessment, training, and education, comprehensive preventive measures), challenges and solutions as potential and observation variables affecting nursing risks, were aimed to reduce nursing risks in long-term care facilities.Conclusions: There are many nursing risk factors in long-term care facilities, among which nursing risk assessment plays an important intermediate role in risk prevention. Comprehensive measures can be formulated and implemented according to relevant nursing risk factors, referred to as the early warning model, to reduce the incidence of nursing risks and promote the safety of the elderly in long-term care facilities. |
