Objectives: To elucidate perioperative nursing care provided to oldest-old patients with femoral head fractures by experienced nurses.Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 experienced nurses and analyzed the data using the modified grounded theory approach.Results: Experienced nurses provided oldest-old patients with [preoperative care so that the oldest-old patient can undergo surgery without incident] and [postoperative care for the oldest-old patient to recover smoothly], which were based on [intentional involvement for oldest-old patients to pass their hospital stay with ease], [intentional involvement to prevent decline in physical functioning], and [intentional involvement to prevent decline in cognitive functioning]. Furthermore, from the early stage, [sharing of information among multi-disciplines and with the family according to the status of the oldest-old patient] led to [discharge support, taking into consideration the burden on the family members who will provide care for the oldest-old patient]. The basis of these nursing duties lies in [the consideration of preventing the elderly individual from exertion] and providing indispensable support to the oldest-old patient. Conclusion:On the basis of these findings, it was suggested that nursing duties contribute to improving the quality of life of oldest-old patients.
