The curriculum guide incorporates relevant materials on violence and victimization into Ontario's nursing programs. The guide's organization allows for easy access to specific content and also highlights critical components for curriculum inclusion. The guide's case study approach demonstrates the necessary analysis, knowledge, and skill components, as well as educational strategies that can assist the learner. Although directed to nurses, the guide has a multidisciplinary orientation. It emphasizes an experiential approach to learning that recognizes the centrality of clinical experience and the integration of content from various disciplines. The first chapter of the guide presents an overview of the curriculum. Subsequent chapters cover generic content that nurses need to learn in order to serve violence victims and survivors, specific abuse situations, and the relation between personal and professional abuse histories and caretaking and the oppression of nursing as a health discipline. The final chapter offers guidelines for moving from incidental to systematic coverage of victimization and abuse in concert with other nursing demands. Appendixes contain additional information on clinical protocol resources and curriculum and program development resources, as well as a curriculum evaluation form. References and illustrations
