Stakeholder involvement in nursing education curricula is crucial for meeting demands. While common in the UK, Australia, and USA, Italian studies are lacking, despite regulatory support for collaboration.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Curriculum Development
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- Stakeholder engagement is vital for aligning health professional education with societal demands.
- Italian regulations support stakeholder involvement in university curricula.
- Evidence for stakeholder involvement in nursing education varies globally.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify key stakeholders in nursing education.
- To describe processes of stakeholder involvement in curriculum development.
- To analyze global experiences with stakeholder engagement in nursing curricula.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search using keywords: Stakeholders, Curriculum, Nursing Education.
- Boolean operators were used for database exploration.
- Hand searching of retrieved article references for additional studies.
Main Results:
- Most studies originated from the United Kingdom, Australia, and the USA; no Italian studies were found.
- Key stakeholders identified include students, clinicians, educators, and nurse managers.
- Stakeholders are primarily involved during significant curriculum changes and new educational approach implementations.
Conclusions:
- Stakeholder involvement is more prevalent in privately funded university systems, often viewed as marketing.
- This contrasts with Italian and European regulations promoting university-industry-user collaboration.
- Such collaboration aims to enhance internships, lifelong learning, and graduate employability.
