This study explored social workers’ perceptions and experiences of resident-to-resident abuse (RRA) in nursing homes for older adults. We conducted in-depth interviews of seven social workers working in nursing homes for older adults and analyzed interview data using a qualitative content analysis guided by Mayring(2010). The two main dimensions, six themes and 20 categories were deducted. The dimension of “perceptions of RRA” included three themes, “concept of RRA”, “types of RRA”, and “causes of RRA.” The dimension of “experience with RRA” contained three themes, “coping experiences of RRA”, “results of coping with RRA”, and “experienced dilemma.” Based on the findings, we discussed the person-centered care paradigm, restructuring operations and physical conditions in nursing homes, building cooperative relationships with family members, multidisciplinary team approach, defining the concept of RRA, and publishing manuals for responding to RRA.
