As part of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) R25 Education Grant Program, a faculty development program for integrating CAM into the nursing curriculum was instituted in 2003-2006. The Integrating CAM program was composed of a number of elements; the primary strategy included a series of 4-week didactic and experiential summer CAM "Camps," attended by 27 faculty members. Camps were designed to influence faculty integration of CAM material into course offerings. The Integrating CAM program was evaluated via a series of faculty and student surveys regarding CAM competencies, attitudes, and perceptions. For more than half of the faculty (out of the 43 who responded), the program yielded a moderate-to-strong influence on incorporation of CAM material into course content and moderate-to-great increases in both enthusiasm for CAM and perceived CAM knowledge gains. Students at all levels (undergraduate, master's, and doctoral; n = 184) reported that their courses contained CAM content; for 70% of students, their CAM knowledge increased; for 50% of students, level of CAM interest increased. Self-reported student CAM competencies were significantly greater in 2006-2007 (n = 191) than those in 2003-2004 (n = 143). Results support the strategy of broadly infusing the nursing curriculum with CAM content via faculty development.
作为国家补充与替代医学中心 (CAM) R25 教育拨款计划的一部分,2003-2006 年期间实施了一项将 CAM 纳入护理课程的教师发展计划。整合 CAM 计划由多个要素组成;主要策略包括一系列为期 4 周的 CAM 理论和实践暑期“营地”,有 27 名教师参加。营地旨在影响教师将 CAM 材料融入课程。通过对教师和学生进行一系列关于 CAM 能力、态度和认知的调查,对整合 CAM 计划进行了评估。对于超过一半的教师(在 43 名回应者中)来说,该计划对将 CAM 材料纳入课程内容产生了中等至强烈的影响,并且对 CAM 的热情以及对 CAM 知识的感知增长都有中等至较大的提高。所有层次的学生(本科生、硕士生和博士生;n=184)报告说他们的课程包含 CAM 内容;对于 70%的学生来说,他们的 CAM 知识增加了;对于 50%的学生来说,对 CAM 的兴趣水平提高了。2006-2007 年(n=191)学生自我报告的 CAM 能力明显高于 2003-2004 年(n=143)。结果支持通过教师发展将广泛将 CAM 内容融入护理课程的策略。
