Résumé
Integration of instruction and more well-rounded curriculum are needed owing to the increasing specialization of nursing education.<BR>In this study we evaluated the teaching of clinical neurology in nursing education from various viewpoints.<BR>1) The clinical neurology curriculum at the Tokyo Women's Medical College School of Nursing for the past 20 years and the results of examinations given at the school.<BR>2) The frequency of test questions on basic and clinical neurology in the past 15 years on the national nursing license examination.<BR>3) Questionnaires on the teaching of clinical neurology filled out by student nurses. Conclusions:<BR>Most nursing students consider the neuroanatomy and pathophysiology of neurologic disorders to be extremely important subjects, while others feel that clinical neurology is difficult to understand.<BR>In the future, the number of elderly persons will increase more rapidly, and highly specialized neurologic teaching will be required in nursing schools.
