This qualitative study looked at the value of appraisal for nurses. It was conducted with clinical staff in one health district at a time when the NHS was in the middle of the drives towards efficiency and effectiveness. Although participants in the study identified ways in which appraisal could help them in their work, they also highlighted a culture of suspicion and indifference that limited their effectiveness. The findings of the research emphasise the value of, and need for, appraisal for nurses, and offer suggestions for methods of ensuring success in the enterprise.
这项定性研究探讨了评估对护士的价值。研究是在国民保健制度（NHS）正处于提高效率和效力的推动阶段时，对一个卫生区的临床工作人员开展的。尽管研究参与者指出了评估在工作中可帮助他们的方式，但他们也强调了一种怀疑和冷漠的文化，这种文化限制了评估的效力。该研究结果强调了对护士进行评估的价值和必要性，并为确保这项工作取得成功的方法提供了建议。
