Strengthening nursing surveillance in general wards: A practice development approach

(2020) Strengthening nursing surveillance in general wards: A practice development approach. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis evaluated an emancipatory practice development (ePD) approach to strengthening nursing surveillance on a single medical-surgical ward. A relationship was established, and a researcher embedded on a ward around a shared interest of strengthening nursing surveillance and patient safety. Ward engagement with ePD methods of critical reflection, holistic facilitation and active learning were supported through workplace workshops and the formation of an action learning set with a group of ward RNs. The ward travelled through a transformative and at time turbulent process of resistance and retreat towards a new learning culture where nursing surveillance is visible and valued.
