摘要:Purpose This article explores the drivers of transformation to competency-based nursing education in Rwanda. Method The Strauss and Corbin grounded theory approach was used. Ethics approval was obtained prior to data collection. Data were collected using in-depth interviews of academic staff and students, and documents being analyzed using constant comparison. Results Four categories of transformative factors emerged: (a) the political agenda of the country, (b) the transformation of higher education, (c) the transformation of the health care system and (d) the transformation of undergraduate nursing education. Conclusion Emerged drivers of nursing education transformation clarify and justify the adoption of a competency-based nursing education program to stakeholders engaged in planning, developing, implementing and evaluating the curriculum to enhance the quality of nursing education in a changing society.
