A proposed framework for evaluation of support courses in a nursing curriculum.
Evaluation of nursing educational programmes has received increased attention since the early 1970s. Many evaluation models have been proposed; they are intended for evaluation of the total educational programme, but provide little evidence on the relevancy of the support courses to nursing practice. This paper describes one nursing school's experience in evaluation of a support course. The nature and sources of problems and difficulties encountered during the evaluation process are also discussed. The authors propose a framework for evaluation of support courses in a nursing curriculum. This framework is an application of the Glaser, Stufflebeam and Stake models of programme evaluation. It is designed to assist nurse educators to strive for sound curriculum decisions.

Work satisfaction, stressors and support experienced by community health nurses.
This study sought to describe the support, work-related stressors, job satisfaction, and burnout experienced by community health nurses (CHNs). Four standardized measures were administered to CHNs in Nova Scotia. One hundred and one CHNs completed the questionnaires. Spouse, family, friends and work associates were the key sources of support for CHNs. The three main sources of stress identified by participants were insufficient time for client care, poor work environment, and difficult clients; perceived lack of support from supervisors and heavy workload were additional sources of stress. The two primary sources of job satisfaction for these CHNs were enjoyment of work and provision of quality care. Strain and illness were the major dimensions of burnout. All five hypotheses were supported; for example, as support increased, burnout and illness decreased and job satisfaction increased. Programs and policies that provide support for Canadian CHNs are timely.
