Thoughts About Teaching: A Nursing Discipline-Specific Perspective of Lifespan Growth and Development
1Professor, College of Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Massachusetts Boston, Boston, USA.
Abstract:
This essay addresses a nursing discipline- specific approach to teaching a course about lifespan growth and development. This course may be a requirement for the baccalaureate degree in nursing, offered as a pre-requisite to the nursing major or relevant content may be integrated into clinical courses. Noteworthy is that the content for the course frequently is drawn from the field of developmental psychology. In this essay, I offer a nursing-discipline specific approach guided by Meleis' transitions framework and the Roper-Logan-Tierney model of nursing based on activities of daily living.
