Evaluation is becoming a necessary part of nursing education. Educators rely on evaluation in order to measure the quality of their teaching and to identify areas where improvement is needed in nursing education. The current study aims at determining nursing students' perspectives regarding their course content and teaching methodology. In addition, some suggestions for improvement of nursing curricula were obtained from the students. Mixed methods using concurrent triangulation design were used. Eleven theoretical nursing courses in the first semester of the academic year 2013/2014 were subjected to evaluation by students in which they were enrolled. The instrument used in the study was designed by the researchers; its validity and reliability were assured. Results indicated that content of courses and teaching methods were clear, comprehensive and well organized. Online materials and well prepared and organized instructors who use class time effectively were emphasized. On the contrary, a noisy environment was the most frequent aspect which negatively affected students' learning process.

“…The data indicated that handouts are an important part of course materials. While they may be available online, it is also important for students to have the actual materials in hand [12,13,15]. Additionally, the majority of students are working and may lack the time to go to the library or make internet searches.…”

“…Despite the spread of ILS courses, only a few studies have been conducted to evaluate the knowledge and skills acquired by physicians, nurses [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ] and undergraduates from the Schools of Medicine [ 10 , 11 ] and Nursing [ 12 , 13 ], as well as their efficacy in reducing the mortality of cardiac arrest [ 14 ]. Indeed, a paucity of studies have been carried out to assess the quality of ILS courses [ 11 ].…”

A retrospective analysis was performed of 1637 questionnaires among students of immediate pediatric life support (IPLS) courses. All theory and practice classes and organization and methods received an average score higher than 8.5 except for the schedule and time devoted to developing contents. All parameters evaluating instructors’ skills received a score higher than 9. Participants requested more time to practice and for course adaptation to their specific professionals needs. IPLS courses are highly valued by students. The duration of IPLS practice sessions should be increased and the course should be adapted to the specific professional needs of participants.

“…Deste modo, o Ministério da Saúde decidiu que poderia ser vantajosa a integração do curso de suporte imediato de vida (SIV), previamente criado em 2002 pelo Conselho de Ressuscitação deste país, nos currículos dos enfermeiros. (4) Desde então, esta é uma prática que se tem vindo a difundir em vários países, entre os quais Portugal, sendo atualmente o SIV um curso de reanimação muito vocacionado para os enfermeiros. (5) Ainda segundo os primeiros autores, trata-se de um curso que deriva do curso de suporte avançado de vida (SAV) e que pretende fornecer aos formandos conhecimentos e competências no reconhecimento precoce de doentes críticos, na abordagem da via aérea, nas manobras de reanimação e na desfibrilhação segura.…”
