چکیده
Background and aim: Education and clinical application of basic science is important in nursing education ,
nurse educators have reported problems with the teaching and learning of bioscience. This study aimed to
explore educational expert’s opinions regarding the basic science courses offer.
Materials and methods: This descriptive study was performed on 35 educational experts at Faculty of
Nursing and Midwifery, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected with a semistructured
questionnaire. Face and content validity were checked. The reliability of the questionnaire was
determined using the Cronbach’s Alpha test. Data were analyzed by SPSS(version 18) and descriptive
statistics.
Findings: 50.0 percent of educational experts agreed with the proportion of basic science courses for nursing
course objectives. Also, they agreed with time extension for anatomy and physiology courses, especially these
courses offer in several semesters and relevant to clinical nursing courses.
Conclusion: According to the results, it seems that curriculum planners should investigate about the clinical
application of basic science courses in nursing program as a priority, and fundamental reform needs to
consider basic science courses offer, especially anatomy and physiology, as well.
