This study was designed to identify the discrepancy between the actual and desired practice of curriculum, and to investigate the extent of satisfaction in according with the contents of Adult Health Nursing.
Eight v-four students from 1 baccalaureate programs in Seoul were randomly sampled.
This study was conducted by means of needs assessment questionnaire, curriculum of 14 baccalaureate programs and content analysis questionnaire of Adult Health Nursing which was developed by the researcher.
The collected data were treated using SAS Computer system so as to calculate mean scores, standard deviations, and correlation coefficients, and level of significance were tested (t-Test, ANOVA).
The results are as follows;
1. The score of desired practices was significantly greater than that of actual practices, representing a strong need for curriculum betterment.
2. There were significant differences in the perceptions of actual practices as well as desired practices among two groups (Junior and Senior).
3. The most frequently selected restraining forces were educational expertise limitations, limitations of administration, inherent character of nursing.
4. The coefficients among the curriculum components were lower in perception of the actual curriculum practices than those in the desired practices.
5. In baccalaureate degree program, credit requirement for adult health nursing was from 17 to 28.
