Abstract
Funding: MBIE Science Whitinga Fellowship/Te Apārangi Royal Society
A collaborative research project between 13 New Zealand polytechnic institutes offering nursing programmes
INTRODUCTION
Nursing curricula need to keep pace with the anticipated demographic change in New Zealand so that the future workforce is prepared to meet the population’s evolving healthcare requirements. Placements need to support curriculum organisation, addressing the breadth and type of services being utilised. Theoretical content needs to address the particular health needs of older people.
AIM
To review placement preparation and clinical experience for New Zealand student nurses in aged care settings
METHOD
Programme managers were invited to participate in an online quantitative survey (n = 13). The survey included closed and open-ended questions exploring clinical placement arrangements, preparation of clinical staff and students, and faculty support provided.
RESULTS
There appears to be little consensus about undergraduate nursing curriculum content or placements necessary to develop understanding about the health needs of older people. A range of curriculum models existed with differing philosophies and objectives.
CONCLUSION
Placement provision should more broadly recognise delivery of nursing services for older adults, reflecting the range of services likely to be accessed. The unification of the nursing curricula across the polytechnic sector provides an opportunity to ensure a well-educated and prepared workforce to address the health needs of older people.
