Current Biological Nursing Curriculum and Faculty Perceptions on Biological Nursing Subjects in South Korea

ABSTRACT

Purpose@#This study was conducted to investigate the current status of the biological nursing curriculum and faculties’ perceptions on biological nursing subjects in South Korea. @*Methods@#Biological nursing subjects’ titles and credits were searched through the nursing schools’ website. Perceived adequacy of subjects’ title and credit in each biological nursing subject and the degree of perceived importance and satisfaction of learning contents by subjects were collected from 30 professors of biological nursing subjects. @*Results@#Many schools still use the titles of medical subjects for those of biological nursing subjects. The perceived importance and satisfaction of genetics-related learning contents, “nursing case study” or “project team presentation,” were lower than other learning contents. @*Conclusion@#Standardization of biological nursing subjects’ titles and learning contents is needed.
