Health Education --Reform of Nursing Education--

Abstract

Health means being mentally and socially well in addition to being physically well, but the mental and social aspects of "health" are not recognized by many people. If this is also the case among those engaged in health care and medical professions, educational institutions must correct such negligence. One problem of the present educational system is the superficiality and formality of the manner in which maintenance and promotion of mental and social aspects of health are taught. In this report, how the curriculum of health education shoud be planned and executed and how its effects should be evaluated are discussed in relation to the concepts and materials of our present attempt to reform health education at our school of nursing.
