Patterns of University Education in India

Introduction:

Nursing today is a difficult profession to be in from the Hospital to the Frontline. Nurses are no

longer viewed as only working in a hospital in an acute setting, Dr. Elaine Duffy says. Nursing roles are

much broader than 'illness' and 'hospital' oriented and the changes in nursing have evolved in response to

changing societal needs and changing health care.

Above statement clearly says that the evolution of nursing education has been influenced by the

conditions and changes in society over past few years. The development of science, medicine

humanitarian reform, the hospital industry, the feminist, and the war, all bought about conditions that

helped to crave for the nursing education in order to better serve society, nursing progressed from a very

simple apprehend training to a highly organized theoretical and technical body of knowledge. As nurse

has to meet the change that is made on her society there should be the changes in line of general system ofeducation.

Therefore we see a trend to develop nursing education as part of the education system, which

develop from grass-root level to university level.

Challenges in University Nursing education in India.

Today nursing profession is better than what it was in the 80s. The services of nurses is more recognised

in hi-tech super speciality hospitals. In Karnataka we have about 103 colleges of nursing under private

management. The nursing council has registered 151 postgraduates of nursing and among them almost

half of them have left the country. (2004 KNC Report) With this back ground lets discuss challenges we

face in university education: basically challenges can be classified in two areas Academic Challenges and

Threat from non professional people.

Academic challenges: As advancement in technology nurses need to be trained in these areas to make

Indian nurses globally competent, mainly computer application in the field of nursing. Holistic care is a

need of modern society so alternative therapies such as a palliative care, yoga, sidda, yoga to be taught

during course itself. So with this scenario nursing faculties need to well knowledgeable with updating

new skills and knowledge. Scarcity of nursing faculties is another major threat to profession, which

resulted in shortage of nursing faculties as well as dearth of experienced staffs in colleges. There is agreat

damand for graduate, post graduate and doctorate holders in nursing to work as teaching faculty.

In view of the need for Nurses participation in the highest decision-making bodies at the national

level, it is recognised that Nursing Education programme have a major role in the preparation of Nurses

for leadership and decision making functions. Nurses, and the Nursing discipline as a whole, need to

respond to the changing environment of health care delivery. They have to establish and maintain control

of well-defined and cost-effective Nursing services.

The Trained Nurses Association of India believes that Nursing Education and Training should be

organized with reference to the health care needs of the country.

y Basic Nursing Education should include both theory and practice, and conform to the regulationsand syllabi prescribed by the Indian Nursing Council.

y Career guidance and information should be provided to persons wishing to take up Nursing as acareer. This type of information should be made available to all eligible young persons, especially

women, at the district level.

y The TNAI supports two levels ofBasic Nursing Education and Training:1. B.Sc. Nursing degree for preparation of professional Nurses to provide General Nursing

and Midwifery services in the community, hospitals, and through other health care

agencies.

2. Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) programme forPreparation of Nursing Auxiliaries/Health Workers for the institutions and the Community Health care system respectively.


44/47

3. Schools of Nursing conducting GNM programmes, especially those Schools which areattached to Medical College Hospitals, should be upgraded to Colleges of Nursing.

Non professional threat:

Due to lack of vision by the government mushrooming of schools and colleges of nursing hascommercialised nursing profession. Nursing profession became a victim of privatisation of

education rather than glow.

Most of private nursing colleges are owned by business people and became a business venturerather than rather than as a centres for life saving personnel.

Non-professional commercial people own most of the colleges.As a result most of the private colleges are running with lack of in fracture, insufficient faculties.

Does these colleges serve the purpose of nursing? Guess only future will give answer to this. But hard

truth is ultimate sufferers are students studying in those bad colleges. These colleges nip the budsrather than let it to bloom.
