Abstract
The quality of nursing education is one of the key elements of quality healthcare
services. The health staff needs to grow, develop and be better distributed across
settings of care to continue to meet the increasing and changing needs in
community for access to high-quality healthcare services. Also, high-quality
education and training in health service settings are necessary to prepare students
to enter the health workforce, enabling them to gain essential experience in the
theory and practice of delivering quality services in advance of assuming direct
responsibility for patient care(Willis commission on nursing education report,
2012).
Nurses have an important role in meeting the health care needs of a changing
population. Therefore it is necessary to invest in appropriate nurse education to
meet these needs. Despite the rapid changes in nursing education, we still grapple
with the same healthcare reform issues. The challenges for nursing are consistent
globally and include a shortage of nurses, an ageing professional workforce and the
financial constraints of funding nurse education. There was also concern that the
principle of caring is no longer fully integrated into nursing curriculum and could
be potentially overlooked in the future.(M Jackson, D Graham and F Ross,
2013)
The challenge of education today is to offer school experiences that provide
students with opportunities to develop the understandings, skills, and attitudes
necessary to become lifelong learners, capable of identifying and solving problems
and dealing with change. Moreover, students need to be able to communicate
clearly, competently, and confidently from a broad knowledge base in order to
Protocol
make thoughtful and responsible decisions. Achieving these educational goals will
provide students with the means to make connections between what they learn and
how they live
There are several factors affecting quality of nursing education including:
potentiality of student, change in curriculum, qualified and experienced teacher,
teaching methods, physical facilities, clinical infrastructure, constructive
supervision , incidental teaching, nurse patient ratio and teacher student ratio, new
technology, evaluation system, institutional polices, guidance and counseling, and
opportunity of self-development (NLN, Transforming clinical nursing education
report, 2009) .
