Occupational Health Nursing As A Compulsory Subject: Innovation In A Spanish University Degree

Background/Objectives: The objective of this manuscript was to explore the situation of Occupational Health Nursing as a mandatory subject in the curriculum of Nursing Degrees in Spanish Universities and compare it with the situation in the Medicine ones. Methods: For this purpose, a integrative review study was carried out including both scientific and gray literature. Results: The results show that, in Nursing Degrees only two universities offered, since the 2024-2025 academic year, compulsory subjects, one of which offers it with its own corpus and 3 credits, while in Medicine only one university offered it as mandatory (along with legal). Conclusions: The innovative proposal on the incorporation of a mandatory and specific subject about occupational health, along with others associated with nursing specialties, could serve as a model for its incorporation into Spanish university Nursing Degrees.
