To determine if there is a body of essential content that should be common to master's-level home care programs, a purposive sample of 200 nurses involved in home health or community health nursing was selected. The respondents (N = 118), including faculty and educational administrators (N = 61) and supervisors and administrators of home health agencies (N = 57), were asked their perceptions of the knowledge needed and their priorities for curriculum content for master's-prepared home care specialists in both clinical and administrative roles. There was agreement in most content areas, but significant differences were found between faculty and agency personnel in their priorities for community health concepts, and in their evaluation of nursing theory and epidemiology as essential content in both roles. We believe these results have important implications for nurse educators. As schools prepare students for leadership roles in today's home care environment, it is critical that pertinent content be well integrated into the curriculum.
为了确定是否存在硕士水平家庭护理项目应具备的核心内容体系,我们选取了200名从事家庭健康或社区健康护理工作的护士作为目标样本。受访者(N = 118)包括教师和教育管理人员(N = 61)以及家庭健康机构的主管和管理人员(N = 57),他们被问及对硕士水平家庭护理专家在临床和管理角色中所需知识的看法以及课程内容的优先顺序。在大多数内容领域存在共识,但教师和机构人员在社区健康概念的优先顺序以及对护理理论和流行病学作为两个角色的核心内容的评价方面存在显著差异。我们认为这些结果对护理教育工作者具有重要意义。随着学校培养学生在当今家庭护理环境中担任领导角色,将相关内容很好地融入课程至关重要。
