Introduction: Comparative comparison of university educational programs, by identifying similarities and differences, offers new approaches to competition between universities and quality assurance. The aim of this study was to compare Australian and Iranian monks.
Methods: The present descriptive study was performed in 2020 using the Brady comparative training model in the Hamadan university medical science. The latest educational program for the undergraduate course in nursing was received from the official website of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education of Iran and the website of Monash University in Australia. Data were analyzed using four-way adaptive training model in four stages: description, interpretation, proximity and comparison.
Results: The results of this study indicate that the use of clinical proficiency tests as well as international clinical evaluation programs is one of the strengths of the Australian Curriculum. A review and comparison of expected job positions for nursing professionals shows that in Australia, in addition to employing nurses in hospitals, they have more specialized perspectives on employing nursing graduates, as well as social nursing such as school nurse, home care nurse or the clinical coordinator nurse has found her place. The establishment of human relations, health care units for the multicultural community, clinical analysis and reasoning is also evident in the Australian Nursing Education Program.
Conclusions: Comparison of Iran-Australia Nursing Bachelor's Degree Program shows that the Australian Educational Curriculum has advantages over Iran. Vertical integration of knowledge and logical connection between the courses offered, placement of courses to empower students in the areas of creative and critical thinking, human relations, working in different communities, as well as conducting interviews to assess communication skills and interest levels of people before Entering nursing is one of the strengths of the Australian curriculum. |
