dc.description.abstractThis study examined the perceived support behaviours of nurses working in Extended - care settings. Forty-nine volunteers, representing eleven units/agencies in Greater Victoria, completed a twenty-six item, open-ended, standardized, written interview questionnaire designed to discover their perceptions of the support seeking , receiving and providing behaviours related to nursing the institutionalized elderly. Content analysis of the nurses' written responses was done to detect the themes about workplace support. The categorized data reveal that these nurses are clear about when they need support, and specific about the type of support they need t o do their job. These nurses provide and receive support primarily from each other. The findings of this study have implications for the day-to-day functioning of the participating Extended - care units/agencies , and for education and research.
