N2  - The purpose of this study was to evaluate the compliance rate of nurses with the Nursing Quality Indicator that is aimed at preventing falls among the elderly. A self-evaluation was completed by nurses working in longterm care health facilities through the director of nurses in October 2013. We also assessed the nurses'age, nursing experience, and their responses to the Approaches to Dementia Questionnaire.　The study participants were 1,985 nurses (98.9 % effective response rate) with an average age of 47.6 (±9.6) years. The nurses answered that they practiced the items almost over 70 %. But the item "it is important to consider the perspectives of the elderly with dementia when taking care of them."："devising nursing care for the prevention of falls caused by feeling lonely and confusion" had the lowest practice rate among all the items of the index (n＝1,047, 52.9%).
