This paper describes the multidirectional activities recently completed to adapt nurse education in Poland to European standards.
The Polish system transformation and the changes that have taken place in health care since the 1980s required intensive effort and change in the nursing care and education systems of nurses and midwives.
Changes accomplished include: (1) preparation and implementation of a nurse education model complying with European standards; (2) discontinuance of the previous system of nurse education taught at the secondary school level; and (3) adjusting the organization and post-basic curricula of nurses and midwives to the actual needs of the society as well as for the nurses themselves. The goal of a uniform nurse education system in Poland that met European requirements motivated the Polish change agents. This change ensures the integration of Polish nurses with the nurses from Europe and other countries in their common endeavours to improve nursing care and health outcomes.
The adopted changes in the system of nurse education resulted in uniformity of education and acceptance of bachelor's level education, which complies with European standards as well as adjusting the post-basic education to actual needs. Describing the substance and process of our work may be helpful to nurses in other countries who are working on their own models of nursing and health care restructuring.
本文描述了波兰近期为使护士教育适应欧洲标准而开展的多方面活动。
自20世纪80年代以来，波兰的体制转型以及医疗保健领域发生的变化，要求护士和助产士的护理及教育体系做出密集努力和变革。
已完成的变革包括：（1）制定并实施符合欧洲标准的护士教育模式；（2）停止先前在中学阶段开展的护士教育体系；（3）根据社会以及护士自身的实际需求，调整护士和助产士的组织架构及基础后课程。波兰建立符合欧洲要求的统一护士教育体系这一目标激励了波兰的变革推动者。这一变革确保波兰护士与欧洲及其他国家的护士在共同努力改善护理服务和健康成果方面实现融合。
护士教育体系所采用的变革带来了教育的统一以及对符合欧洲标准的本科层次教育的认可，同时使基础后教育适应了实际需求。描述我们工作的实质和过程可能会对其他正在致力于构建自身护理和医疗保健模式的国家的护士有所帮助。
