Hemşireler, en değerli varlık olarak gördüğü insanın yaşamına, onuruna, bireysellik ve bütünlüğüne, değerlerine ve kararlarına saygı duyarak nitelikli hizmet verir. Sözü edilen nitelikte hizmet verebilecek hemşirelerin yetiştirilmesi değerlere temellenen eğitim ile mümkündür.Hemşirelik eğitimi, iyi yaşam, iyi insan, iyi meslek üyesi ve sağlıklı bir toplum oluşturmaya yönelik çabaların bütünüdür. Hemşirelik eğitiminin, öğrencilere evrensel değerleri kazandırmayı hedefleyen bilişsel, duyuşsal ve psikomotor becerilere ulaştıracak yapıda olması önemlidir. Öğrencilerin belirli değerlerin farkına varması, benimsemesi ve içselleştirerek davranışları yoluyla sergilemesi, hemşirelik eğitim kurumlarının öncelikli sorumlulukları arasındadır. Literatürde evrensel değerlere temellenen eğitim programlarının bireyin demokratik değerler kazanımını, özgüven ve benlik saygısını anlamlı düzeyde yükselttiği vurgulanmakta ancak nasıl yapılacağı konusu ele alınmamaktadır. Bu nedenle eğitim programlarında “Eğitim hangi değerleri kazandırmalı?” “Hangi değerler, nasıl öğretilmeli?” sorularına cevap aranmalıdır. Günümüzde değişen öğrenci profili ve öğrenme biçimlerinin eğitimde değer kazandırılmasında izlenecek yolları da etkileyeceği göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Hemşirelik eğitim programları incelendiğinde, kazandırılması hedeflenen değerlerin ders içeriklerinde yer aldığı, değer temelli eğitime ilişkin standart bir uygulamanın olmadığı dikkat çekmektedir. Bu derlemede, değer temelli hemşirelik eğitimi kapsamlı olarak incelenecek, bu amaç doğrultusunda temel ilke ve öneriler tartışılacaktır.Çalışma, uluslararası veritabanı ile ilgili orijinal araştırmaların birincil belgelerini arayarak, bu belgelerin eleştirel ve kapsamlı bir şekilde değerlendirilmesi ile yapılmıştır.

This paper explores the relevance of Indigenous perspectives within the nursing profession, and the importance of weaving these perspectives into nursing education. We suggest that Indigenous perspectives can support nursing’s core ethical values of relationality and holism and may hold representational and transformational possibilities for students and educators alike. Guided by principles of Indigenous learning, we provide several exemplars from Canadian schools of nursing that have already begun the process of decolonizing their programs. We conclude by describing some of the challenges and considerations that may arise when Indigenous perspectives and approaches are considered for inclusion into nursing education programs.

As more emphasis is placed on offering education to the distance student and monies are spent to provide these services, institutions must ensure they reap the rewards of the investment. One avenue to ensure success in distance education is the implementation of strong student support services. This is a task that will take the teamwork of educators, administrators, instructional technologists/designers, and support personnel. For institutions transitioning to a distance format, measures must be taken to ensure that the learner, no matter what the method of delivery, has access to equivalent student support services. One approach to measuring this aspect is the determination of student satisfaction with the support services offered to distance students. A study was conducted at a public health sciences research university in the Southeast to determine whether the administrative student support services (library and technical) offered at the institution met the educational needs of allied health students enrolled in a distance education program. Results from student questionnaires were analyzed to determine the satisfaction level of distance students with administrative (library and technical) student support services. Overall responses showed that allied health students enrolled in a distance education program were satisfied with the existing student support services (library and technical) offered by the institution. Narrative responses from the participants reinforced a common theme that although the students were satisfied with the services, more emphasis needed to be placed on library and technical support services that are available to distance education students during the program orientation.
