A comparison between nursing degree programmes offered at the University of Malta and the University of Fort Hare.

The purpose of thus study was to compare the undergraduate nursing programme of the Institute of Health Care of the University of Malta with that of the Department of Nursing Sciences of the University of Fort Hare. Historical facts about each institution are briefly described followed by a more detailed description of the respective undergraduate programmes. The programmes are compared according to the curriculum content and assessment strategy used for each. Although both programmes are four year degree programmes, distinct similarities, and differences in the curricular content and assessment strategies are noted and discussed.

Curriculum

The perception of the South African Nursing Association by registered nurses of the East London branch.

A growth rate in the average attendance of SANA branch meetings in East London was noted over the past five years, with the highest attendance figure during 1988. Despite this improvement an attendance figure of 17.05% is unacceptably low. The question of such poor attendance at the East London branch prompted the researchers to investigate the issue. Some of the interesting findings are that marital status and young children were not found to be reasons for not attending meetings. Members felt that SANA met their expectations in most respects, however, they felt that SANA did not do enough in respect of negotiations for improved salaries and conditions of service.
