Abstract
Introduction and objective
The Integrative Nursing Education Series (INES) project is a three-year EU funded project that aims at improving education for nursing students on integrative nursing (IN) and the use of complementary non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs).
The third INES work package aimed to develop a framework for teaching about integrative nursing in Europe, in which we acknowledge the heterogeneity and medical pluralism in Europe whilst finding common ground in an approach to integrative nursing.
Methods
The INES Handbook was developed like a kaleidoscope: every teacher can choose which part of the series to teach, based on their cultural preferences and time limitations.
The INES Handbook was based on the results from the INES questionnaire and literature review, the INES SWOT analysis and the INES competency profile.
Results
The 168-page long Handbook consists of eleven chapters presented over three series: ‘integrative nursing’; ‘integrative nursing within a conventional setting’; ‘integrative nursing and complementary and non-pharmacological therapies’. Furthermore, in the Handbook we present a toolbox on various teaching methods, didactic reflections and resources. Narratives are added in every chapter to enhance students’ engagement and to inspire the teacher.
Conclusions
The Integrative Nursing Handbook for Teachers in Nursing is the first evidence-informed and expert-supported educational framework for Integrative Nursing in Europe.
