title: Practitioners' perceptions of primary nursing.
abstract: The key characteristic of primary nursing is a flattening of the traditional nursing hierarchy. Therefore, it is essential that each practitioner of primary nursing fully understands both his/her own role and that of his/her co-workers. Few studies have examined how practitioners of primary nursing view their role and the roles of others.
