Why teach sociology?

H Cooke. Nurse Educ Today. 1993 Jun.

Abstract

This paper examines the arguments in favour of the inclusion of sociology in the nursing curriculum. It contains an analysis of the literature on sociology teaching in nursing education and briefly compares this with sociology teaching in the medical curriculum. The discussion draws attention to the ways in which the professional concerns and ambitions of nursing constrain the content and organisation of the sociology curriculum. Finally it argues for a more critical and theoretically informed sociology for nurses.
