| Abstract: | Health and social care systems are inherently
political (Jardin, 2001). From the allocation of limited
resources to the directions related to patients' access
to care and professional scope of practice of the
workforce, the health environment is shaped not by
clinical facts alone, but by political decisions. Yet,
for too long, nursing education has perpetuated the
practice of equipping graduates with clinical skills
while leaving them politically limited, often mute. This
omission is no longer tenable. For nursing to meet the
demands of 21st-century healthcare, nurse education
must critically integrate the politics of nursing into
educational programmes. Determining the optimal
level of delivery and identifying the appropriate
experts to lead this integration are two challenges
which require attention. Sistemi zdravstvenega in socialnega varstva so inherentno politične narave (Jardin, 2001). Zdravstvenega okolja namreč ne oblikujejo le klinični podatki, temveč tudi politične odločitve, ki vključujejo razporejanje sredstev, oblikovanje smernic v zvezi z dostopom pacientov do oskrbe ter obseg profesionalne prakse zaposlenih. Izobraževanje v zdravstveni negi je predolgo poudarjalo pridobivanje kliničnih znanj diplomantov na račun razvoja njihovih političnih kompetenc. To je privedlo do politične nemoči stroke, kar ni več vzdržno. Če želi zdravstvena nega izpolniti zahteve zdravstvenega varstva 21. stoletja, mora na področju izobraževanja medicinskih sester kritično razmisliti o vključitvi politike zdravstvene nege v izobraževalne programe. Pri tem posebno pozornost zahtevata dva izziva: določitev optimalne ravni vključevanja političnih vsebin v izobraževalni proces ter iskanje ustreznih strokovnjakov za koordinacijo te integracije. |
