Educational Competencies to Strengthen Tuberculosis Curricula in Undergraduate Nursing Programs
-
Betty S. Fair
Worldwide, at least two million people die annually from tuberculosis (TB), with projections of 36 million more global deaths between the years 2003 and 2020. To help nursing faculty strengthen TB curricula and standardize TB content in national and international undergraduate nursing programs, the Nurse Discipline Group of the National Tuberculosis Curriculum Consortium (NTCC) has developed comprehensive TB core competencies and specific student objectives for the classroom setting. These core competencies address the knowledge, ability, and/or skills required for an undergraduate nursing student to provide qualified holistic care for patients, families, and communities impacted by TB. The NTCC is comprised of a team of multidisciplinary health care educators in the United States, with the primary mission to instill knowledge, skills, and appropriate attitudes in the management of active and latent TB among undergraduate health care students.
