Abstract
- The aim of this study is to illustrate conditions for the successful implementation of a work model for sustainable care improvement, called Reflecting Team (RT). For this study team leaders were trained in a caring science education programme to lead the reflective processes, and RTs were introduced into two caring contexts. Within the study professional caregivers involved in the implementation of RT were interviewed, and their statements were interpreted according to a life world hermeneutic approach. Dialectic themes emerged that established four prerequisites for successful implementation of RT. A comprehensive understanding suggests that the lowest common denominator for the four prerequisites is mutual interaction. Thus, an atmosphere of sharing was found to be necessary. The challenge of creating such an atmosphere in a caring unit is the focus of the discussion section. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
