Abstract:

Nursing education accreditation serves as a crucial component of the higher education quality assurance system. This study systematically reviews global trends，conducts comparative analyses of accreditation standards from several main foreign countries，examines national policy documents and requirements，and evaluates the practices and experiences of nursing accreditation within China. Building on this foundation，and in response to the practical needs of nursing education development in China，the revised accreditation standards have been developed with reference to the “National Standards for Teaching Quality in Nursing” and in alignment with national initiatives such as the “Healthy China 2030” strategic plan. This article elaborates on the revision principles，core revised content，and key features of the newly revised accreditation standards. The accreditation comprises seven primary standards and 34 secondary indicators，embodying the accreditation philosophy of “student-centered，outcome-oriented，and continuous improvement”. This study provides an internationally informed reference for improving the quality assurance system of nursing higher education in China and will promotes the high-quality development of nursing education.
