Abstract
Using the Older Americans Resources and Services (OARS) tool, this study examined quality of life related to functional status in 68 elderly clients at two community-based nurse-managed centers (NMCs) in California. Undergraduate and graduate nursing students administered the OARS to three cohort groups. Data from the tool were used to assess functional independence among these clients and organize and evaluate the quality of nursing care delivered at the centers. The study provides the basis for evidence-based nursing care that integrates research strategies and the nursing process.
