Abstract
M.Cur.
The purpose of nursing, as a human clinical health science, is
to give a comprehensive, purposeful service to mankind in
totality. This service must be supported by sound theoretical
background. In ~he nurse's training, theoretical knowledge
must be integrated with the practical situation to encourage
the development of the student as a professional person, to an
experienced practitioner.
For the purpose of this study, a descriptive contextual research
was done to determine to what extent the present block
system training program facilitates the integration of theory
and practice to the first year student. Through relevant literature
search and by using the Nursing for the Whole Person
theory, the model for accompaniment and the curriculum development
model, a conceptual framework was compiled.
