Public Health Undergraduate Nurse Course Data 2023

This report provides demographic data for Nursing students enrolled in the Public Health Unit at Charles Darwin University, NT Australia. The dataset is part of a larger study exploring multicultural student education on ethical issues in an Australian undergraduate Nursing curriculum. To gain student perspectives, a public health course embedded in the BN program was designed to explore ethically confronting topics being delivered to 290 internally and externally enrolled students. The course focused on current local and global public health issues and policies and incorporated topics considered ethically confronting, such as abortion, mandatory reporting of domestic violence, and euthanasia.

This dataset presents a visual representation of student enrolments in the unit and foundational diversities, which included International, non-English speaking background (NESB) and First Nations (ATSI) student numbers as well as the gender of students.
