    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Interdisciplinary Studies

    Background:

    • Nursing education programs often face challenges in integrating knowledge from diverse disciplines.
    • Assessing the extent of insularity in nursing curricula is crucial for educational advancement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the degree of interdisciplinary insularity within baccalaureate and higher degree nursing programs.
    • To examine faculty employment and course content delivery mechanisms in nursing education.

    Main Methods:

    • Two small-scale surveys were conducted.
    • Survey 1: Examined non-nurse faculty employment and non-nursing content delivery in 16 nursing programs.
    • Survey 2: Analyzed disciplinary origins of required readings in 44 nursing courses.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Non-nurse faculty were employed in 50% of surveyed schools.
    • Nurses with advanced preparation in other disciplines primarily delivered non-nursing content.
    • A strong reliance on nursing authorship and journals was observed in course readings.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing education exhibits a pattern of relative insularity from other disciplines.
    • Limited interdisciplinary appointments and a high proportion of nursing literature contribute to this insularity.
    • Anticipated decreases in non-nurse faculty suggest a potential increase in insularity.
