title: The role of the nurse in rehabilitation.
abstract: Although nurses make a valuable contribution to the process of rehabilitation, the parameters of that contribution have yet to be defined. This article describes a small study, undertaken on a care of elderly people ward, designed to elicit nurses' understanding of their role in rehabilitation. Interdisciplinary relations and patient care, the authors conclude, would be improved if nurses were taught, and developed the confidence, to implement rehabilitation techniques in practice.
