Correspondencia entre la ideología político-educativa del franquismo y el contenido de las asignaturas obligatorias de moral profesional y religión de los estudios enfermeros

Abstract

In this study we analyzed the relationship between ideology and educational policy in nursing studies during the Franco regime in Spain. Using Gadamer's analysis of the Contents of compulsory subjects such as Professional Morality and Religion, this study showed the crucial influence of the Catholic Church in teaching. Also, we initiated and developed a discussion, unexplored until then, on Contents and Recipients, which led us to conclude that nursing studies during the Franco regime were defined to be "aimless". A change in the terminology from Nurse to Registered Nurse set aside other educational objectives related to the development of scientific and critical thinking skills. This implies a social redefinition in teaching. © 2011 Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Murcia.
