Improving the system of training Nursing specialists. Results of the strategic partnership between JAMK University of Applied Sciences, Finland, and medical colleges of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Abstract

The material presents results of the strategic partnership between JAMK University of Applied Sciences, Finland, and medical colleges of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The systematic annual process of starting the development of new nursing clinical guidelines and of leading and coordinating the adaptation as well as preparing the trainings of national trainers for each set of guidelines has slowed down or even stopped and needs immediate attention. In addition, the development of corresponding evidence-based Standardized Operational Procedures must be organized. Our recommendation is that the Ministry of Healthcare and the Republican Center of Health Development would strengthen the national coordination and create a systematic roadmap for translating nursing clinical guidelines into nursing practice. In addition, nurses’ knowledge and skills in evidence-based nursing must be increased through capacity building activities.
