“Balancing two worlds”: a constructivist grounded theory exploring distributed/decentralised nursing education in rural and remote areas in Canada and Norway
A challenge confronting northern nursing is delivery of equitable and culturally competent nursing education. Advances in technology support distributed approaches for decentralised learning and enhance the feasibility of nursing education in rural and remote regions. However, there is limited schol...

A challenge confronting northern nursing is delivery of equitable and culturally competent nursing education. Advances in technology support distributed approaches for decentralised learning and enhance the feasibility of nursing education in rural and remote regions. However, there is limited scholarship on distributed/decentralised technologies in nursing education, particularly in northern and circumpolar regions. The purpose of this constructivist grounded theory research was to develop an enhanced understanding of the unique experiences of students, faculty and administrators who use distributed/decentralised methods and technology. Open-ended interviews were completed in 2015–17 with nursing students (n = 8), faculty and administrators (n = 6) at two universities using distributed/decentralised educational strategies in northern and circumpolar regions.
