摘要
This empirical study of the relationship between nursing care adequacy and nursing care quality demonstrates that a positive relationship exists between the process and outcome dimensions of quality of nursing care. The results from the analysis of national data on nursing homes' deficiencies highlight the importance of conducting a longitudinal study of the effect of nurse staffing and nursing care adequacy on the quality of care.
