Abstract

This descriptive study utilized both qualitative and quantitative methods to explore the stages of concern of baccalaureate nurse educators concerning community-based nursing as a curriculum innovation. Concerns theory and the Concerns-Based Adaptation Model (CBAM) were utilized as the theoretical basis for understanding the personal attributes of change. According to the CBAM, understanding of change begins with exploration of the personal concerns related to the impending change. These concerns occur on a developmental continuum and can be measured. The Stages of Concern Questionnaire (SoCQ) provided the method to categorize nurse educators responses into stages of concern for the curriculum innovation and the Open-Ended Stages of Concern Questionnaire provided a description of concerns specific to nursing education as well as barriers and facilitators to the implementation of community-based nursing in baccalaureate nursing education.
