From an institution's management to the caregivers in the field: driving a change of practices

Abstract

The managerial project of the nursing directorate set up by an adult general psychiatric unit aims first and foremost to change practices in the field. This approach firstly involves structuring the institution's management. The project's main areas of focus are then rolled out through actions prioritising the bold, innovative dimensions of caregiving. This project highlights the skills of many nurses who demonstrate high levels of creativity in their nursing practices and management of patients.
