Nursing units have traditionally been managed by head nurses. This article examines an innovative concept which allows the professional nursing staff to participate in self-management at the unit level. A unit at Rush Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago is described as it changed its management structure from the traditional model to one run by the unit staff. This participatory style complements two evolving principles of the professional model of nursing, 24-hour accountability and primary nursing.
护理单元传统上由护士长管理。本文探讨了一种创新理念，即让专业护理人员参与科室层面的自我管理。文章描述了芝加哥拉什长老会-圣卢克医疗中心的一个护理单元，它将管理结构从传统模式转变为由科室工作人员负责运行的模式。这种参与式风格补充了专业护理模式的两个不断发展的原则，即24小时责任制和责任制护理。
