Career after DOEACC DOEACC Scheme Right To Information Act. 2005

IT Skill for Nurses
 
A great demand for Nurses in Software & IT Skills:
Due to the dedication in services of the Nurses from North East, there is a high demand of nurses from the North-East within India and abroad. But due to lack of Communication and IT Skills displayed by nurses from the North East, the Nurses face problems in their working environment and getting a job. Expertise in computers would greatly enhance nursing recruitment and would prove to be the ultimate solution to problems of adaptability that nurses from the North East face outside their home states.
About the Course:
A syllabus for training the Nurses has been developed by DOEACC Centre, Aizawl with feedbacks from leading health care institutions. The course aims to tackle six domains that have an influence on patient satisfaction with nursing care:
  • the socio-demographic (cultural) background of the patients,
  • patients expectations regarding nursing care,
  • the physical environment,
  • communication and information,
  • participation and involvement,
  • interpersonal relations between nurse and patient.
    The syllabus for the proposed training programme includes topics/domains that have been found to be the main reasons for the inability of nurses from the North-East to function as efficient health care professionals both within India and abroad. The programme also includes training on Information Technology (IT) and familiarization of computers within the Health Industry.
