Using the CIPP Model to Assess Nursing Education Program Quality and Merit

Nursing programs must maintain a high-quality curriculum that graduates exemplary nurses. Systematic evaluation of key components of nursing education is required. Stufflebeam's Context, Input, Process, and Product model allows for evaluation of the quality and merit of end-of-life care education within a nursing program. Data analysis identified missing content, program strengths, and curricular redundancies within the program. When used appropriately, Stufflebeam's model serves as a valuable guide for in-depth curriculum evaluation.
