title: Tutorials in nurse education: a survey of its use in district nursing training.
abstract: This paper reports the findings of a survey of registered nurses undertaking the district nurse training. District nurse students were asked their views of tutorial arrangements, methods used, their effectiveness and their perceptions of the role that tutorials play in the learning process. A questionnaire was sent to 60 course tutors in five institutions within the South West Regional Health Authority area; 51 were returned completed. The results suggest that tutorial arrangements in courses preparing district nurses need to be re-examined in the light of comments from this group of students.
