This paper, the first of two, describes the major challenges faced by 28 nursing development units (NDUs) during three years of Department of Health funding. The findings suggest that structural and process issues in the NDUs and their host organisations were the main challenges in the early period of their existence. Given this, the importance of wider organisational commitment and support is vital if an NDU is to survive and flourish.
本文是系列两篇文章中的第一篇，描述了28个护理发展单位（NDU）在接受卫生部三年资金资助期间所面临的主要挑战。研究结果表明，NDU及其所在机构的结构和流程问题是其成立初期的主要挑战。鉴于此，如果一个NDU想要生存和发展，更广泛的组织承诺和支持至关重要。
