Background: An investigation was conducted to assess for and describe health communication instruction in entry-level baccalaureate (BSN) programs.

Method: This cross-sectional descriptive study examined entry-level baccalaureate degree nursing programs in the United States. A three-step process was used: (1) online survey of directors of BSN programs, (2) online survey of simulation directors, and (3) analysis of course titles and descriptions.

Results: Communication instruction remains primarily knowledge-based rather than skills-based. The findings of this study confirm there is ambiguity in defining the scope of communication instruction across curricula, as well as radical differences in the inclusion of communication in course descriptions and content.

Conclusion: There is a need for clear definition of the scope of health communication skill development across BSN programs for communication behaviors to be measured and competency to be determined. A knowledge-building approach to communication instruction does not align with new plans for competency-based nursing education. .

Cure MAPT FTD, Sarasota, FL, USA.

My beloved husband, Robert Steel, died at 58 from MAPT FTD, a disease that stretches back through his family's generations. Before we married he told me his father died of early-onset Alzheimers and he was terrified he would inherit that disease. In his early 50s he began exhihibiting symptoms that I attributed to stress-his work as a respected high school teacher began to slip, he began to lose the ability to have a visual map in his head, he began to repeat stories, his behavior became more compulsive, forgot how he was related to a favorite cousin.
