1Department of Nursing and Health Studies, Central Queensland University, Rockhampton, QLD, Australia.
Abstract:
The available literature has identified Nursing Clinical Development Units as a strategy to promote, and bring about changes in, nursing practice. While the literature has also identified a number of barriers to the effectiveness of Nursing Clinical Development Units, very little of this research has been undertaken in a mental health environment. This paper presents findings from a qualitative evaluation of a Nursing Clinical Development Unit Program specifically targeted at the mental health field. In-depth interviews were conducted with participants of this program (n=14). Data analysis reveals the following barriers: not enough resources; grasping the concept; staff turnover; and staff resistance.
