Background of the Study
Human anatomy is a fundamental component of nursing education, providing the foundation for understanding the structure and function of the human body. Nurses rely on anatomical knowledge to assess patients, administer treatments, and collaborate effectively with other healthcare professionals (Johnson & Carter, 2024). A strong understanding of human anatomy enhances nurses' ability to perform essential clinical tasks such as patient assessments, wound care, and medication administration (Brown et al., 2023).
Despite its significance, there are ongoing debates about the depth and relevance of anatomy training in nursing curricula. Some researchers argue that traditional anatomy courses are heavily detailed, making it difficult for nursing students to retain clinically relevant information (Smith et al., 2024). Others suggest that integrating anatomy education with clinical practice enhances learning and application, ultimately improving patient care outcomes (Williams & Adams, 2023).
At Taraba State College of Nursing and Midwifery, human anatomy is a core subject in the nursing program. However, little research has been conducted to assess its impact on students' practical competencies. This study seeks to appraise the relevance of human anatomy training in nursing practice at the institution, identifying gaps in knowledge application and potential areas for curriculum improvement.
Statement of the Problem
Nursing practice demands a strong grasp of human anatomy to ensure effective patient care. However, some nursing students struggle with applying anatomical knowledge in clinical settings due to the abstract nature of traditional anatomy education (Taylor et al., 2024). Many nursing programs emphasize memorization rather than practical application, which can hinder students' ability to integrate anatomical concepts into real-world practice (Johnson et al., 2023).
In Taraba State College of Nursing and Midwifery, the effectiveness of anatomy training in preparing students for clinical practice has not been systematically evaluated. This study seeks to determine whether the current anatomy curriculum aligns with practical nursing needs and whether students find their anatomy training useful in clinical scenarios.
Objectives of the Study
- To assess the relevance of human anatomy training in nursing practice at Taraba State College of Nursing and Midwifery.
- To identify gaps in the application of anatomical knowledge in clinical nursing practice.
- To explore potential improvements in anatomy education for nursing students.
Research Questions
- How relevant is human anatomy training to nursing practice at Taraba State College of Nursing and Midwifery?
- What challenges do nursing students face in applying anatomical knowledge in clinical settings?
- How can anatomy education be improved to enhance its applicability in nursing practice?
Research Hypotheses
- Human anatomy training significantly enhances nursing students’ clinical competency.
- Nursing students face difficulties in applying anatomical knowledge due to curriculum gaps.
- Integrating anatomy education with clinical practice improves its relevance in nursing.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study focuses on nursing students and faculty at Taraba State College of Nursing and Midwifery. It does not extend to other health science disciplines. Limitations may include differences in students’ prior knowledge of anatomy and variations in teaching methods.
