[Change and transition to primary nursing care]. / Muutos ja yksilövastuinen hoitotyö.

ABSTRACT

What is a change? How was the changing process managed in practice while changing from task allocation to primary nursing? What are the approaches and strategies used in the change used? What are preconditions for a successful change? These are topics discussed in this paper. In most cases it takes a lot of time and energy to adopt the principles of primary nursing in units. Planned change is seen to guarantee a successful transition to primary nursing.
