Analysis of selected nursing transcripts for E-health/E-nursing education

Abstract

This paper reports on research concerning the establishment of an E-learning framework to impart E-health education to nurses in developing countries. Nursing and midwifery academic transcripts from several schools of nursing in different developing countries were analysed to evaluate their contents with regard to Information Communication Technology (ICT) and E-health/E-nursing courses. Content analysis mechanism revealed that there was no evidence of the introduction of the concept of E-health/E-nursing as such in any of the transcripts studied; only basic computer and fundamental courses were included.
