The purpose of this research was to describe the relationship between a preventive nursing intervention, which combined Personal Preventive Nursing (PPN) and Organized Indigenous Caregiving (OIC), and perception of health services availability by rural households with older adults. This descriptive study was a secondary analysis of data from an earlier original study of the effect of nursing interventions in rural communities (Ferketich, Phillips, & Verran, 1991 ). In this study, analysis of data from community surveys conducted before and after the nursing intervention indicated that the nursing intervention did not affect the research subjects' perception of health availability. In addition, there was not a statistically significant relationship between research subjects' perception of health services availability based on whether or not they knew and used nursing clinic services.Type
