Evaluating a change to primary nursing: Some methodological issues.
Research studies which have been designed to evaluate the introduction of primary nursing as a method of organising the delivery of care frequently use an 'experimental' research design. Experimental research studies use the terms 'independent variable' and 'dependent variable'. There is assumed to be a relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable so that manipulation of the independent variable causes a change in the dependent variable.
