[Operationalization of a model for the development of clinical nursing standards]

One of the requirements for a nursing model in any field of nursing is its practical implementation. The purpose of this article is to describe how the model for the development of nursing standards in a nursing service was implemented and evaluated. An exploratory and descriptive research design was followed, with a simple pilot study during which 9 nurses were requested to give their view on the model. The model was sucessfully implemented in the nursing service of an academic hospital. Evaluation revealed that the implementation facilitated quality nursing, the resocialising of values and the professional and personal growth of nurses in that nursing service.
