Doctorate Programs of Nursing in Latin America

Background

In 1997, the CICAD started a pilot project in the  “Prevention of using of Illicit Drugs” for   Nursing Schools in Latin America.  The project is divided in two parts; part one was to introduce   the content of the drug use, prevention, and treatment to the undergraduate curriculum, this part of the project was accomplished with the implementation of pilot programs of research and community programs which were funded by seedy grants.  Part two, is involved with the introduction of the content of drugs’ use, prevention and treatment in the graduate program curriculum (primarily in the area of research). Therefore, creating opportunities for faculty to become proficient in the area of research on drug abuse and it’s management. The focus of the program also includes the preparation of expert professionals that will be able to create nursing centers for the delivery of nursing care, for  health promotion, prevention and social rehabilitation because of this health problem. 

 

 Five Universities where new Doctorate in Nursing Programs are being started or are in the process of starting new programs are part of the project of “ Prevention and use of Illicit Drugs”.   Naturally, these programs by virtue of curriculum content enable the researcher to engage in the promotion of the development and application of nursing in its social context. By participation in this project of drugs of the CICAD, Nursing recognizes that this phenomenon being of social character has a significant impact in the health of individuals. Besides being a social and health problem it also becomes a multi focal problem, locally, nationally, and, internationally. On the other hand, Nursing also recognizes that this problem constitutes a new area for nursing practice and for nursing research, acknowledging this position, there is a necessity to aloud more time for discussion of the new doctoral programs in nursing.  Considering this position, there is a need to consider a proposal to have the first international reunion of the New Doctorate Programs in Nursing in Latin America. The College of Nursing at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, and, as an integral part of the Pilot Project, presented a proposal in the  “sixth Reunión Internacional del Proyecto Piloto de Enfermería de CICAD para América Latina sobre Promoción de la Salud, Prevención y Tratamiento del Uso y Abuso de Drogas e Integración Social, realizada en Washington, D. C” from the 25-28 de June 2001to have this meeting, for this project the College of Nursing will ask for resources from the CICAD/OEA.
