title: Hospital nurses' valuation of quality assurance.
abstract: Nurses responsible for quality assurance in ten metropolitan hospitals surveyed nurses from their institutions in an attempt to understand sluggish interest in quality assurance activities. The registered nurses surveyed agreed that involvement in quality assurance is an important part of the professional nurse's role, but this belief did not often translate into positive attitudes toward nor participation in quality assurance activities.
