This article presents a descriptive account of the management of the change process and the nature of nursing developments which have been implemented on a Nursing Development Unit in Manchester Royal Infirmary. The fundamental aim underlying all innovations is to improve the quality of care delivered to patients. Consequently, the evaluation of the change process and whether it has actually served to improve standards is an issue of concern within this article. It is acknowledged that this case study cannot be upheld as an ideal model for innovation in nursing practice. It may however, serve as an example of how idealistic principles might be combined with realism derived directly from clinical practice, and may thus serve to inspire others along similar paths.
本文描述了在曼彻斯特皇家医院护理发展单元实施的变革过程管理及护理发展的性质。所有创新的根本目标都是提高为患者提供的护理质量。因此，变革过程的评估以及它是否真正有助于提高标准是本文关注的一个问题。需要承认的是，这个案例研究不能被视为护理实践创新的理想模式。然而，它可能作为一个例子，说明理想主义原则如何与直接源于临床实践的现实主义相结合，从而可能激励其他人走上类似的道路。
