The Neuman Systems Model in nursing education: course development and implementation.

Nursing education programmes increasingly are integrating nursing models into their curriculum. The model chosen can provide a guide for curriculum content as well as strategies for learning content. In the clinical setting a model can facilitate the student's nursing practice by assisting in the organization of observations and interpretation of data. This paper describes the introduction of the Betty Neuman Systems Model to fourth year baccalaureate students at the University of Ottawa School of Nursing, Canada. The selection of this model for a senior nursing course reflects its congruency with the school's philosophy of learning and nursing and the purpose of the course. Course development and implementation, teaching strategies and outcomes are discussed and reflect an attempt at incorporating a nursing model into course design.

The Betty Neuman Systems Model in nursing practice: a case study approach.

The value of models of nursing to provide direction for nursing practice, education and research is becoming increasingly evident in the literature. Nursing is developing a heightened awareness of the importance of models as vehicles to professional accountability. By delineating the boundaries of nursing, they serve as a framework for the development of nursing knowledge. This paper describes the use of the Betty Neuman Systems Model in practice using a case study approach. The selection of the model for practice reflects the congruency between the practitioner's personal values and assumptions and those of the model, the major elements of which are highlighted in the first section of the paper. The second section explores the model in practice via a nursing situation in which the client is recovering at home following hospitalization and treatment for a myocardial infarction.

Transcultural reflection on clinical teaching using an experiential teaching-learning model.

BACKGROUND: A 6-day professional development workshop was designed and implemented in China as part of a project funded by the Canadian International Development Association through the Canada-China University linkage program. METHOD: Kolb's experiential learning model was used as a framework to help Chinese nurse educators reflect on their practice as clinical teachers. RESULTS: The workshop resulted in the generation of new insights by participants into their role as clinical teachers. Chinese educators wanted to increase their links between the teaching of theory at the college and the instruction of students in the practice setting. CONCLUSION: The use of a similar approach in future professional development workshops allows presenters to identify nurses' learning needs regarding specific areas of nursing practice and education.
