Abstract:

With the rapid advancement of medical technology and the diversification of health needs,there is an urgent need for future nurses to transition into multifaceted and composite roles. Cultivating “Nursing + X” inter- disciplinary talents with cross-disciplinary collaboration capabilities has become an inevitable trend. However,the traditional nursing curriculum system struggles to meet this demand. Based on a systematic review of domestic and international experiences in the cultivation of “Nursing + X” interdisciplinary talents,curriculum development,and practical experiences in the construction of national first-class undergraduate courses,this study proposes that the “Nursing + X” interdisciplinary curriculum should take addressing nursing issues as its core objective and use “X” as a means of interdisciplinary problem-solving,thereby supporting the high-quality development of the nursing discipline. Finally,the study discusses the challenges and corresponding considerations in faculty allocation,curriculum content design,and practice base selection in the construction of “Nursing + X” interdisciplinary courses. This research aims to provide insights for the development of “Nursing + X” interdisciplinary curricula in China. In the future,efforts should be made to further establish interdisciplinary teacher training programs for “Nursing + X” and to build interdisciplinary practice platforms,thereby forming a more comprehensive “Nursing + X” interdisciplinary curriculum system.
