[Research into oral history related to the management of the first registered nursing home in Taiwan].
The "Nurses Law", promulgated in 1991, allows nurses to operate nursing care facilities (e.g., nursing homes, home care institutes). The opening in 1993 of Taiwan's first registered nursing home, the Chiang-Chin Foundation of Nursing Perspectives, under Dr. Min-Shih Du represents an important milestone in both nursing and long-term care in Taiwan. Using the oral history method, this research depicts and analyzes Chiang-Chin Foundation of Nursing Perspectives operation and management experiences over a period spanning 1993 through 2002. Research results can provide management knowledge and experience for nurses, managers, and administrators in the long-term care field. Results also provide reference for long-term care policy makers and nursing entrepreneurs, and may serve as a valuable record related to the development of nursing in Taiwan.
