    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Health Communication

    Background:

    • Investigated health communication instruction in entry-level Baccalaureate (BSN) programs.
    • Assessed the current state of communication training within nursing curricula.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate health communication instruction in US-based BSN programs.
    • Identify inconsistencies and gaps in communication training.

    Main Methods:

    • Cross-sectional descriptive study of US BSN programs.
    • Utilized a three-step process: surveys of program directors and simulation directors, and course title/description analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Communication instruction is predominantly knowledge-based, lacking a skills-based focus.
    • Significant ambiguity exists in defining the scope of communication instruction.
    • Variability noted in the integration of communication content across nursing courses.

    Conclusions:

    • A clear definition of health communication skill development is crucial for measuring nursing competency.
    • Current knowledge-based approaches conflict with competency-based nursing education models.
    • Standardization of communication training is needed for effective skill development in BSN programs.
