軍護是具備護理專業知能的軍人,是為保衛平時與戰時國軍官兵眷屬與民眾之健康而存在。然面對全球環境的變遷與災難頻傳的國軍心使命的要求、及我國護理教育評鑑之興起,當代軍護面臨角色轉變的挑戰與契機,如何延續與傳承軍護的光榮歷史脈絡,是我們亟需面對的重責大任。為能培育符合當前國家與社會需求的軍護,國防醫學院護理學系2009~2012年陸續邀請產業界主管、產官學專家、近三年畢業校友與本系所師生凝聚共識,確立軍護培育的目標與特色,並發展軍護核心素養,建構符合當前國家與社會需求之軍護課程。軍護課程發展涵蓋軍人的養成訓練以及護理的專業教育,兼具「巨觀」與「微觀」之反思性教學,強調「實作」與「體驗」的護理專業教育,強化「軍人體魄」與「急難救助」的軍護特色教育訓練,融合國際災難護理核心能力的課程架構。建立自我評核機制,系統性發展軍護教育課程,定期自我監督檢視,以確保軍護核心素養能符合當代社會需求,學生能完成必備之核心素養,持續改革以冀望培育稱職勝任、符合當前軍民健康體系所需要的未來軍護領導人才。
Military nurses are soldiers who are trained with the duty to promote the health/wellness of military personnel, their families and all citizens. Currently, military nurses' role in Taiwan face challenges such as the changing global environment, new tasks demanded from the Ministry of Defense, and the nursing education accreditation requirements. It is an opportunity to proactively adjust military nursing training curriculum to meet the needs and also reflect the traditional core value of the Nursing department at National Defense Medical Center. Between 2009 and 2012, the Nursing department invited nurse leaders from hospitals, schools, faculty and students on a consensus of missions and roles of military nurses. Nursing department also established a self-governance system for curriculum development based on the military nursing core competencies. Military nursing curriculum encompasses both the military training and professional nursing courses that incorporates the philosophy of reflective teaching and learning with both macro and micro perspectives. It emphasizes clinical practices in doing and experiencing, strengthens physical fitness, emergency and critical care competencies, and integrates the disaster nursing into the curriculum. The department plans to continue the innovation in nursing education to produce graduates who will become competent leaders in the military and civilian medical care system.
