Fra idé til projekt. Vaekstforum for udviklingsorienterede sygeplejersker
Sammanfattning
To meet the demands in health care services, there is a growing request for developing
clinical nursing practice. This article describes the experiences of a clinical project «’Growth
Forum’ for Development-Oriented Nurses» where participants carry out nursing projects based
on their own practice, focusing on process and content. The purpose of this article is to urge
others to similar actions with a practice-based approach. «Growth Forum» aims to keep and
inspire competent nurses and to enhance clinical nursing practice. «Growth Forum» is based on
guidance in managing project work, information-retrieval, and research methods as well as
group and individual supervision in carrying out projects. So far, 20 nurses have completed the
one-year training and supervision process, resulting in 16 project reports. Several projects
have been presented as poster or oral sessions at conferences, two projects have been published
as articles and four nurses have subsequently commenced an academic education.
