Abstract: (1256 Views) |
Background and Aim: Paying attention to successful educational systems in the world can result in the institutionalization of an efficient and effective system, and comparison of different educational systems improves the content and quality of the educational programs. The aim of this study was to compare Iran's undergraduate nursing education program with that of Michigan College of Nursing.
Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive-comparative study which was conducted in 2022 , and the required information about the undergraduate nursing education program in Michigan and Iran were collected. Then the data were analyzed by using Brady model and in four stages of description, interpretation, juxtaposition and comparison.
Results: The results showed that attention to the characteristics and cultural diversity of the clients, patient care, attention to provision of high-quality and safe health care are among the goals of Lake College, which seems to be less prominent in Iran. There are also differences in the presentation of the prerequisite courses. Clinical training in the Michigan College is equipped with the most advanced educational technology in the simulator laboratory, but in Iran it is implemented in a clinical environment and the use of modern teaching approaches is less common in Iran.
Conclusion: Considering that the Bachelor of Nursing program in Iran has been revised in 2013, conducting descriptive studies on the acquired abilities and content of the program can help to improve it as much as possible by solving the potential problems of the program.
