Soft system methodology (SSM) is described as a system-based methodology for tackling real world problems. SSM may be used as a means of articulating complex social processes in a particular way. SSM allows peoples' viewpoints and assumptions about the world to be bought to light, challenged and tested. This paper reports on the use of SSM in a service-focussed study (SFS) to explore the role of a personal tutor in nurse education. [Checkland, P., 1981. Systems Thinking Systems Practice. John Wiley and Sons, Chichester] highlighted the importance of considering cultural, social and political systems in the analysis. The seven stages of SSM are discussed in relation to the SFS and some of the findings are expressed through a 'Rich Picture'. It encourages commitment, brings diverse interests together and opens up the organizational culture. It also enables feasible and desirable changes to be recommended within the context of limited resources and competing demands upon lecturers' time. The SSM was an appropriate systematic model for this study and could be potentially useful in nurse education research.
软系统方法论（SSM）被描述为一种基于系统的解决现实世界问题的方法论。SSM可用作以特定方式阐述复杂社会过程的一种手段。SSM能使人们对世界的观点和假设得以揭示、受到质疑和检验。本文报告了在一项以服务为重点的研究（SFS）中使用SSM来探究个人导师在护士教育中的作用。[切克兰德，P.，1981年。《系统思考与系统实践》。约翰·威利父子出版公司，奇切斯特]强调了在分析中考虑文化、社会和政治系统的重要性。结合SFS讨论了SSM的七个阶段，并且一些研究结果通过“丰富图景”得以呈现。它鼓励投入，将不同利益汇聚在一起并开放组织文化。它还能在资源有限以及讲师时间面临竞争需求的背景下推荐可行且理想的变革。SSM是这项研究的一个合适的系统模型，并且在护士教育研究中可能具有潜在用途。
