Approaches Adopted in Training Programs for Health Professionals in Morocco (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789999323017)

Health education, including sexual and reproductive health, is pivotal for promoting well-being and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Beyond the mere acquisition of knowledge, its ultimate aim is to foster responsible behaviors, ensure a healthy environment, and address critical challenges such as migration. In Morocco, despite reforms aimed at enhancing the training of nurses and midwives, persistent challenges remain, including risky behaviors among youth and inadequately adapted pedagogical approaches. This study examines the curricula of the General Nurse (GN) and Midwife (MW) programs within Moroccan Higher Institutes of Nursing and Health Techniques (ISPITS). The findings reveal that: - 10.37% of GN objectives pertain to health education, predominantly employing a biomedical approach (71.43%). - 10.89% of MW objectives address sexual health, with a balanced distribution between biomedical (52.72%) and promotional (47.27%) approaches. The conclusions highlight a lack of integration and pedagogical consensus, underscoring the need for a curriculum overhaul to better meet population needs and strengthen professional competencies.
