Balancing the curriculum: Promoting aesthetic knowledge in nursing
Posted Fevereiro 13, 2009
on:Nursing’s dual identity as an art and science arguably requires a balance whithin the curriculum, therefore the promotion and acquisition of aesthetic knowledge seems a desirable aim. The development of strategies specifically designed to develop and incorporate such knowledge across the curriculum and to make it explicit presents a challenge for all nursing educators. […]consider the application of literature as a method througt which this knowledge may be attained. The use of literature is suggested as facilitating as awareness of human predicaments universal to all, thus enabling the nurse development qualities of caring, empathy and compassion, indicated to be components of nursing art form.
