title: [The teaching of care in IFSI].
abstract: Instituts de Formation en Soins Infirmiers (IFSI) are in charge of nurses initial training. As such, they take part in the transmission of care. Care is a fundamental practical philosophy, an infrastructure rather than a superstructure, on which rest every aspects of nursing. It can be defined as a psychological or mental attitude that results in a corporal and verbal attitude aimed at facilitating person-to-person singular communication. Has the July 2009 reform of nursing education applied by IFSI any influence on that postulate? The redistribution of roles between the various actors of nursing education (IFSI instructors, field training practitioners and University teachers) raises questions. What do the new syllabus and the reality of teaching methods and contents show? What is the present status of care transmission in nursing education? And what are its future prospects?
