| description | Introduction: Training emergency nurses plays a significant role in caring for critically ill patients. The comparison of emergency nursing curricula in Iran with those in prestigious universities is one of the ways to determine the strengths and weaknesses of each curriculum. This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the Master's degree curriculum in emergency nursing in Iran and Monash University in Australia.
Methods: The current study is a comparative review that was conducted in 2024. First, Monash University was selected as a top-ranked institution based on the Quacquarelli Symonds rankings of nursing schools worldwide. Afterward, the required information was collected from the Monash University website, the Master of Emergency Nursing program, the curriculum file, and field information. The collected data were compared using the Bereday model, which includes 4 stages: description, interpretation, juxtaposition, and comparison.
Results: The Master's program in emergency nursing in Iran and Monash University of Australia showed many similarities in content, general structure, and the role of graduates. However, there were some differences in the procedure of accepting students and educational units, philosophy, mission, and vision. One of the strengths of Iran's curriculum was the presence of general courses, whereas Monash University stood out for the prerequisite of English language proficiency for admission. There were no work experience requirements in either curriculum; nevertheless, a valid bachelor's degree was required. At Monash, there have been significant improvements by using new teaching techniques, such as simulation training. However, regular updates and reviews of the curriculum in Iran remain necessary.
Conclusion: The present study can be one of the appropriate guides for policymakers in the field of nursing education in order to improve the quality and development of nurses' skills. It is recommended that policymakers incorporate new and important courses into the curriculum to promote clinical nursing skills. |
