Providing effective emergency nursing is challenging in low- to middle-income countries because of limited resources and an inadequate infrastructure. The role of the emergency nurse is growing throughout sub-Saharan Africa and this will help decrease the burden of acute illness and trauma on both the people and the economies in the area. However, there is a gap in education for emergency nurses in this part of the world which needs to be addressed. This article describes an emergency nursing degree programme in Ghana which was developed in collaboration with a university in the United States and one in Ghana. It also outlines the development and content of the programme and discusses its success and challenges.
由于资源有限和基础设施不足，在低收入和中等收入国家提供有效的急诊护理具有挑战性。急诊护士的作用在撒哈拉以南非洲地区不断扩大，这将有助于减轻该地区人民和经济所承受的急性疾病和创伤负担。然而，世界这一地区急诊护士的教育存在差距，需要加以解决。本文介绍了加纳的一个急诊护理学位项目，该项目是与美国一所大学和加纳一所大学合作开发的。它还概述了该项目的发展和内容，并讨论了其成功之处和面临的挑战。
