“…Compared with acute care and even facility-based placements in the community, there are unique challenges in the clinical supervision of undergraduates for nursing roles in the home setting (Bos, Löfmark, & Törnkvist, 2009). Community nursing tends to use individual supervision models (Bos, Alinaghizadeh, Saarikoski, & Kaila, 2012) and opportunities for undergraduate nurses to experience authentic community nursing roles are limited (Byfield, East, & Conway, 2019;Peters, McInnes, & Halcomb, 2015;van Iersel, Latour, de Vos, Kirschner, & Scholte op Reimer, 2016). Increasing demand for services, greater role complexity and the added responsibility for supporting the educational needs of pre-registration nursing students have increased the workload of community nurses (Kenyon & Peckover, 2008;Strandås, Wackerhausen, & Bondas, 2019).…”

a b s t r a c tThe importance of primary health care PHC is receiving increasing attention. The demand for skilled workers is due to an increased emphasis on community-based care but until recent times pre-registration preparation for nurses, including clinical placements, have focussed on acute care specialties. Aim: To systematically review, measure and describe the PHC content in the undergraduate nursing curriculum in Australian schools of nursing over time. Methods: A cross-sectional study of all Australian universities offering undergraduate (pre-registration) baccalaureate degrees was undertaken in February 2017. Curriculum artifacts were retrieved from university websites. A terminology matrix guided retrieval of PHC content. Findings: All 29 universities offering pre-registration undergraduate nursing degrees in Australia were included in this study. While most universities cite PHC principals as core values underpinning their undergraduate curriculum, only 12 (<2%) of the 694 subject titles had obvious or manifest "primary health care" content and these were mainly offered in 1st and 3rd year. Subject outlines tended to demonstrate more explicit content than subject titles. Discussion: This study confirms ambiguity in PHC interpretation and nomenclature, and opportunities for undergraduate preparation for nursing roles in the home setting is limited. Prospective undergraduate nurses seeking careers in PHC might be deterred by a lack of manifest PHC content in the public domain, which may or may not accurately represent the actual content provided. Conclusion: The predominance of acute episodic care in both curricula and clinical experiences potentially diminishes the importance of PHC. This study offers some direction for education providers and policymakers wishing to attract and prepare next generation nurses for roles in PHC.

“…At present, a majority of nursing students in the final phase of their education tend to favour a hospital career, as they see such 'medical nursing' involving complex techniques as challenging and attractive (Happell, 1999;Kloster et al, 2007;McCann et al, 2010). Community care, in contrast, is less popular (Happell, 1999;Larsen et al, 2012) and is not seen as 'real nursing' (Norman, 2015;Van Iersel et al, 2016a), possibly influenced by students' negative perception of working with elderly patients (Kloster et al, 2007;Koh, 2012;Liu et al, 2013).…”

“…Daar komt nog bij dat de media verpleegkunde doorgaans als een beroep in het ziekenhuis representeren, wat de maatschappelijke beeldvorming over het verpleegkundige beroep te eenzijdig maakt 4,5 . Het resultaat is dan ook dat veel beginnende verpleegkundestudenten zich niet bewust zijn van de ontwikkelingen in de zorg, de mogelijkheden die de wijk hen biedt eenvoudigweg niet kennen en het werken in de wijkverpleging daardoor niet als een optie overwegen 6 . Aan de opleiding hbo-verpleegkunde van de Hogeschool van Amsterdam wordt onderzocht of een vernieuwd curriculum de beeldvorming van studenten over wijkverpleegkunde positief kan beïnvloeden, waardoor mogelijk meer studenten na hun diplomering voor dit werkveld kiezen.…”

De extramuralisering van de gezondheidszorg leidt tot een grotere behoefte aan hbo-opgeleide wijkverpleegkundigen. Weinig hbo-v-studenten kiezen er echter voor om in de wijk te werken. Dit artikel beschrijft hoe eerstejaars studenten kijken naar wijkverpleegkunde, en welke aspecten van de beroepspraktijk hun keuze voor een werkveld bepalen. Begeleiders in de praktijk en opleidingen kunnen hier op inspelen met het bestrijden van beelden en ideeën bij studenten die niet stroken met de realiteit van de beroepspraktijk.
