摘要

背景和目的增加未来医疗保健专业人员的多样性对于支持包容性的病人护理至关重要。然而,课程的固有要求(IRs)可能会成为(非)有意的、潜在有害的 "守门人",阻碍多样化学生进入执业课程。本研究分析了澳大利亚 37 所开设护理和助产士入职实习课程的大学公布的固有要求。研究结果所有院校的固有要求并不一致。大多数大学将满足 IR 的责任完全推给了学生,而没有提供有关可能的合理调整的充分信息。讨论与结论虽然让未来的学生了解他们在课程中和毕业后作为学习的一部分需要完成的任务类型是有帮助的,但许多 IRs 最好定位为预期学习。随着学生的多样性不断增加,要求所有学生在实习前立即展示临床实习准备情况的替代模式可能会有所帮助。与其提出一成不变的要求清单,不如通过 "适于实习 "的概念为多样化的学生和从业人员提供更好的支持,从而可以进行更灵活的即时评估。

Are inherent requirements a barrier to diversity? An analysis of course entry information

Background and aim

Increasing the diversity of future healthcare professionals is essential to support inclusive patient care. However, course inherent requirements (IRs) may act as (un)intentional and potentially harmful gatekeepers to diverse students entering entry-to-practice courses. A decade beyond the establishment of formal IRs, it is timely to reconsider if and how IRs might be impacting diversity and inclusion.

Methods

This study analysed IRs published by the 37 Australian universities offering nursing and midwifery entry-to-practice courses.

Findings

IRs were not uniform across all institutions. Most universities placed the responsibility to meet IRs solely upon the student, without sufficient information about possible reasonable adjustments. When institutional support was offered, the level of and means of accessing support were often unclear, again putting the onus to navigate support structures on the student.

Discussion and conclusions

Whilst it is helpful for prospective students to understand the types of tasks they will be required to undertake as part of learning within the course and upon graduation, many IRs may be better positioned as expected learning. With increasing student diversity, alternate models requiring all students to demonstrate readiness for clinical placement immediately before placement may be helpful. Rather than presenting a static list of requirements, diverse students and practitioners may be better supported through the concept of ‘fitness to practice’ where more flexible and in-the-moment evaluations can be made.

期刊介绍: Collegian: The Australian Journal of Nursing Practice, Scholarship and Research is the official journal of Australian College of Nursing (ACN). The journal aims to reflect the broad interests of nurses and the nursing profession, and to challenge nurses on emerging areas of interest. It publishes research articles and scholarly discussion of nursing practice, policy and professional issues. Papers published in the journal are peer reviewed by a double blind process using reviewers who meet high standards of academic and clinical expertise. Invited papers that contribute to nursing knowledge and debate are published at the discretion of the Editor. The journal, online only from 2016, is available to members of ACN and also by separate subscription. ACN believes that each and every nurse in Australia should have the opportunity to grow their career through quality education, and further our profession through representation. ACN is the voice of influence, providing the nursing expertise and experience required when government and key stakeholders are deciding the future of health.
