This paper describes the process through which a Nursing Development Unit (NDU) was created in a 29-bed unit in which nurses care for severely demented residents. The question about whether or not ethics clearance is required for the development phase of NDUs is discussed, and the framework in which to develop the NDU described. The benefits of using Participatory Action Research as the basis for undertaking a continuous process of reflection and change is highlighted. It is also suggested that two key elements necessary for NDUs are that they are 'owned' by the staff who work in them and that they are supported by senior management of the organisations in which they exist.
本文描述了在一个拥有29张床位、护士负责照料重度痴呆患者的病房中创建护理发展单元（NDU）的过程。文中讨论了在护理发展单元的发展阶段是否需要伦理审查的问题，并描述了发展护理发展单元的框架。强调了将参与式行动研究作为持续反思和变革过程基础的益处。还指出，护理发展单元的两个关键要素是由在其中工作的 staff“拥有”，以及得到其所在组织高级管理层的支持。 （注：原文中“staff”未翻译，可能是特定语境下的专业术语或有特定指代，需结合更多背景信息准确翻译）
