Hip deep in the ‘messy lowland’: using fourth generation evaluation to make sense of practice complexities

摘要

‘Code Red’: imagine being faced with a real fire situation in a hospital… I am sharing through this reflection, using Atkins and Murphy’s model of reflection (1994), my learning about engaging clinicians through the claims, concerns and issues methodology guided by the principles of fourth generation evaluation (Guba and Lincoln, 1989), to understand and learn from their experience of a complex practice process, the team’s response to a fire situation.
