Facilitators and Barriers to Nursing Educators in Implementing an Undergraduate Nursing and Midwifery Curriculum in the Digital Era

Abstract

Rapid changes in the global higher education landscape in response to the digital era have prompted the University of Namibia to transform its nursing and midwifery curriculum to embrace the evolving world of digital technology. However, the perspectives of nursing educators on implementing a transformed undergraduate nursing and midwifery curriculum in the digital era have not been extensively explored. This chapter aims to explore factors that serve to facilitate or act as barriers to nursing educators in implementing a transformed undergraduate nursing and midwifery curriculum in the digital era. It is recommended that the training institutions should increase their efforts to enhance the digital knowledge and skills of nurse educators required in digital curriculum transformation.
