Health professions education content must keep pace with the ever-evolving and changing health care system. Population-based health care is advocated as a way to improve health outcomes, particularly in a technologically advanced health system like the United States. At the same time, global health knowledge is increasingly valued in health professions education, including nursing.
This article describes the design and implementation of an online population health course with a global viewpoint intended to accommodate the need for improved knowledge and skill application for graduate nurses. Attention was also given to faculty efficiency during the process of design and implementation.
This population-global health course was piloted in a renovated master's curriculum for two semesters. Administering a Course Improvement Survey after initial course offerings assisted faculty to assess and target essential course changes. Data were collected from 106 registered nurse graduate students.
Population and global health course objectives were met and students identified areas for course enhancement. Students (90%-94%) reported achieving increased knowledge of population health and global health.
Like other creative works, the first rendition of a course requires pedagogical adjustments and editing. Formal student input, when built into the design and implementation of a course can assist faculty to be efficient when crafting essential course changes for subsequent semesters. Data from the survey showed that major population and global subject matter was being grasped by students, the data also revealed that tweaking specific online strategies like making all course content mobile would enhance the course.
The course development process and course improvement evaluation for this Population Health in a Global Society course proved valuable in the education of nurses, and helped maintain faculty work efficiency.
卫生专业教育内容必须跟上不断发展和变化的医疗保健系统。以人群为基础的医疗保健被倡导为改善健康结果的一种方式，特别是在像美国这样技术先进的卫生系统中。与此同时，全球健康知识在包括护理在内的卫生专业教育中越来越受到重视。
本文描述了一门具有全球视野的在线人群健康课程的设计与实施，旨在满足研究生护士对提高知识和技能应用的需求。在设计和实施过程中还关注了教师效率。
这门人群 - 全球健康课程在一个经过翻新的硕士课程中进行了两个学期的试点。在最初开设课程后进行课程改进调查，以帮助教师评估并确定必要的课程变更。从106名注册护士研究生那里收集了数据。
达到了人群和全球健康课程目标，学生们指出了课程改进的领域。学生（90% - 94%）报告称在人群健康和全球健康方面的知识有所增加。
与其他创造性作品一样，课程的首次呈现需要进行教学调整和编辑。将正式的学生反馈纳入课程设计和实施过程中，可以帮助教师在为后续学期精心设计必要的课程变更时提高效率。调查数据显示学生掌握了主要的人群和全球主题内容，数据还表明调整特定的在线策略，如使所有课程内容都可移动，将增强课程效果。
这门“全球社会中的人群健康”课程的课程开发过程和课程改进评估在护士教育中被证明是有价值的，并有助于保持教师的工作效率。
