  • Study conducted over a five-year period (1993-1998) within a large district general hospital.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of NDU status on staff's ability to manage change.
  • To critically evaluate the premise that NDUs foster nursing innovation.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive data collection through a questionnaire.
  • Survey distributed to 83 staff members associated with the outpatient department.

Main Results:

  • NDU status was found to enable staff to embrace the change process more effectively.
