An 8-month rotation programme was implemented for five nurses employed in two kinds of children's palliative care environments: hospital wards and hospices. This study reports the views of the nurses completing the rotation. The research drew on appreciative inquiry and involved a pre- and post-rotation interview and questionnaire. Thematic analysis of the interviews revealed seven themes: adjusting to the rotation programme; support mechanisms; being safe; new knowledge and skills; knowledge exchange; misconceptions; future plans. These were supported by the questionnaire findings. Although the nurses identified some frustration at having to undertake competency assessments relating to previously acquired skills, as well as being out of their 'comfort zone', all the participants highly recommended the programme. They commented very positively on the support they received and the overall learning experience as well as the new insight into different aspects of care. In addition, they were able to share their newfound knowledge and expertise with others.
为在医院病房和临终关怀两种儿童姑息治疗环境中工作的五名护士实施了为期 8 个月的轮转计划。本研究报告了完成轮转的护士的观点。该研究借鉴了欣赏式探究，包括轮转前后的访谈和问卷调查。对访谈的主题分析揭示了七个主题：适应轮转计划；支持机制；安全；新知识和技能；知识交流；误解；未来计划。这些主题得到了问卷调查结果的支持。尽管护士们对必须进行与先前获得的技能相关的能力评估以及离开自己的“舒适区”感到有些沮丧，但所有参与者都强烈推荐该计划。他们非常赞赏他们所获得的支持以及整体学习体验，以及对护理不同方面的新见解。此外，他们能够与他人分享他们新获得的知识和专业知识。
