No. 11-1/2024-INC (XII)—In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) of Section 16 of Indian Nursing Council Act, 1947 (XLVIII of 1947), as amended from time to time, the Indian Nursing Council hereby makes the following regulations namely — SHORT TITLE AND COMMENCEMENT i. These Regulations may be called the Indian Nursing Council (Revised Guidelines for starting Ph.D. in Nursing Program in the Universities approved by the Council), Regulations, 2024. ii. These Regulations shall come into force on the date of notification of the same in the Official Gazette of India. DEFINITIONS In these Regulations, unless the context otherwise requires, i. ‘the Act’ means the Indian Nursing Council Act, 1947 (XLVIII of 1947) as amended from time to time; ii. ‘the Council’ means the Indian Nursing Council constituted under the Act. Indian Nursing Council (Revised Guidelines for starting Ph.D. in Nursing Program in the Universities approved by the Council), Regulations, 2024 1. BACKGROUND National Health Policy 2017 (NHP 2017) recognizes the key role health research plays in the development of nation’s health. The policy aims to strengthen governance systems so that nurses can assume leadership position, improve regulation of practice and strengthen the quality of nursing education. Doctoral education in nursing will prepare more qualified nurses who can meet the country’s health and nursing care demand. Many universities in India are recognizing this need and plan to start Ph.D. Program in Nursing. This necessitates uniform and standard curriculum and guidelines to run the program effectively and achieve the intended outcomes. The Council has revised the Ph.D. curriculum and guidelines that will guide all universities who intend to start and promote doctoral education in nursing in their respective Universities. 2. PHILOSOPHY NHP 2017 emphasizes the need to prepare nurses to function in specialty and super-specialty areas of tertiary care institutions with the proposed expansion of tertiary care services alongside expansion of medical colleges and starting new AIIMS nationwide. There is an acute shortage of nursing faculty in undergraduate and postgraduate nursing programs in India. Doctoral education is essential to prepare nurse scholars to improve the quality of nursing education and practice in India. Doctoral education builds upon and extends competence acquired at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, emphasizes theory development and research skills. The function of nurse scholars is to assume leadership roles in complex healthcare and education systems, develop a theoretical and empirical base for nursing practice in both current and emerging health care systems, conduct nursing research and participate in developing healthcare policies. The entire thrust is on professional preparation in nursing that could lead to evidence based practice for clinical effectiveness.[भाग III—खण्‍ड 4] भारत का रािपत्र : असाधारण 13 3.
