Abstract

V originále

Since the implementation of the first European directive for professional qualifications in 2005 and, subsequently, the harmonisation of higher education via the Bologna Process, there have been changes in the curricula for nurses and a move towards bachelor’s (degree-level) education. However, disparities remain, with not all countries in the European Region adopting the higher-level qualification as a standard approach. Nurse education at the bachelor’s level provides the necessary knowledge and skills in a field of work. It facilitates a level of responsibility and autonomy to ensure nurses are prepared to work with different populations and their changing healthcare needs. This chapter will present the Level 6 Wound Curriculum for Nurses developed by the European Wound Management Association. This curriculum considers that individuals with wounds have very specific needs related to their clinical presentation and the challenges related to multiple comorbidities. The curriculum explores a range of comprehensive nursing interventions, including the assessment, planning, interventions and evaluation of individuals with acute and chronic wounds. The chapter will include a practical example from one higher education institution to illustrate how the curriculum was implemented into an existing bachelor’s programme of study for nurses.
