[Nursing service and educational perspectives of nurse instructors]. 1990

S Janhonen

In this study the nursing and educational perspectives of Nurse instructors (NIs) were compared by using a theoretical framework, in which three kinds of nursing perspectives (professional, vocational and technical) and two kinds of educational perspectives (inner teaching and outer teaching) have been measured by quantitative and qualitative methods. The evaluation of perspectives were carried out by a questionnaire (sent to 268 nurse instructors of which 72% responded) with closed and open questions. The nursing or educational perspectives of NIs have no inner consistency. A NI had for example inner teaching values and knowledge, but her teaching methods, however, had features of outer teaching according to her own examples in teaching nursing. Factor analysis produced the following factors: 1) Technical nursing and outer teaching; 2) Professional nursing; and 3) Inner teaching. Unqualified NIs and older NIs revealed more features of technical nursing and outer teaching than other teachers. The qualified NIs revealed more features of professional nursing and inner teaching.
