The Competencies and Recommendations for Educating undergraduate Nursing Students (CARES) was originally designed for nursing students' palliative and end-of-life care education. The competencies were later revised to align with the 2021 American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essentials core competencies for baccalaureate nursing education. This project aimed to (1) review the courses in an accelerated baccalaureate nursing program for alignment with CARES, (2) determine any gaps, and (3) make program recommendations. The CARES competencies and Essentials were mapped according to the nursing program's 12 core curriculum courses and evaluated. Three CARES competencies were not met, and 12 were partially met. Areas of improvement were identified across the curriculum. Results of the mapping included palliative concepts needing earlier program introduction, reflective journaling was recommended for clinical practice courses, and incorporation of palliative care simulations was proposed to bridge the gaps.
《本科护理学生教育能力和推荐(CARES)》最初是为护理学生的姑息治疗和临终关怀教育而设计的。后来,这些能力被修订为与 2021 年美国护理学院协会本科护理教育核心能力一致。本项目旨在:(1)审查加速护理学士学位课程,以与 CARES 保持一致;(2)确定差距;(3)提出项目建议。根据护理课程的 12 门核心课程对 CARES 能力和核心能力进行了映射和评估。有三个 CARES 能力未达到,12 个部分达到。课程各个方面都需要改进。映射的结果包括姑息治疗概念需要在项目早期引入,建议在临床实践课程中进行反思性日志记录,并提出姑息治疗模拟的纳入以弥合差距。
