Occupational health content in Spanish undergraduate nursing degrees: a nationwide cross-sectional study

Occupational health content is markedly underrepresented in Spanish undergraduate nursing education. This documentary analysis describes a limited and uneven curricular presence of OH, which may reduce opportunities for undergraduate students to engage with occupational health-related topics. The findings highlight curricular gaps that warrant reflection within nursing education and suggest that a more explicit and balanced inclusion of OH content could be considered as part of broader efforts to align undergraduate nursing curricula with contemporary workplace health and prevention priorities.

Abstract

Occupational health content is markedly underrepresented in Spanish undergraduate nursing education. This documentary analysis describes a limited and uneven curricular presence of OH, which may reduce opportunities for undergraduate students to engage with occupational health-related topics. The findings highlight curricular gaps that warrant reflection within nursing education and suggest that a more explicit and balanced inclusion of OH content could be considered as part of broader efforts to align undergraduate nursing curricula with contemporary workplace health and prevention priorities.
