Towards a global nursing curriculum for the 21st century: Rethinking health through the lens of a sustainability paradigm – a contemporary issue

Abstract

Nursing education has historically been designed in harmony with societal development. However, the world is becoming increasingly complex, and we face ongoing global challenges. A new, progressive step towards a global nursing curriculum is needed. This development is anticipated, and nursing students often request knowledge and perspectives that will prepare them to care in a sustainable way. To provide this and ensure equal health, intersectional perspectives must be at the foundation of future caring activities. There is thus a societal shift that makes it necessary to take a decisive step towards rethinking health through the lens of a sustainability paradigm.
