Assessment of Global Health Competence of Nursing Faculty in Prelicensure Programs
Background:
Global Health is an emerging field that refers to the health and well-being of the world's population. It is crucial that the next generation of nurses is prepared as global health advocates. There is no prior research of self-assessed global health competencies among nursing faculty in U.S. prelicensure programs. The aim of this study was to determine the level of global health competencies (knowledge and skills) of nursing faculty in U.S. prelicensure programs.
Method:
Attendees at the National League for Nursing Education Summit completed the Global Health Competencies survey.
Results:
Survey participants (N = 161) reported a 66.76% confidence in their knowledge of global health and 61.4% confidence in global health skills with patients from different backgrounds. Three areas of educational needs were identified: (a) the relationship between health and access to clean water, sanitation, and nutrition; (b) cultural competency; and (c) understanding the relationship between health and human rights.
Conclusion:
Nursing faculty participants identified several areas for improvement in their knowledge of global health issues. [J Nurs Educ. 2021;60(1):20-24.].
