Using Learning Outcome Measures to assess Doctoral Nursing Education
Published on: June 22, 2010
Abstract:
Nursing is one of the many diverse disciplines on which health education draws for theoretical perspectives, research, and practice tools. It brings more than a 130 year heritage of practice with individuals, groups, institutions, and communities toward the goals of restoring, promoting, and maintaining health. Nursing's more recent history of theory development and research, in which relationships are examined between persons, their environment and health, is especially germane to the art and science of health education. In nursing, health education is one of a large repertoire of intervention actions nurses take to support healing, caring, and health with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. The theoretical foundations of these actions characterize the nursing domain and guide research and practice. In this paper, several theoretical frameworks from nursing and health education are examined to bring their perspectives more clearly into focus for the mutual advance of both fields.
