English summary provided by author:
A total of 98 (94 percent) nurses, 9 (75 percent) nursing lecturers and 53 (100 percent) student nurses have answered set questionnaires
An analysis of these questionnaires has indicated that, in general, professional nurses neither understand biophysical and biochemical principles, nor are they able to integrate these into the practical nursing situation
Recommendations have been made concerning refresher courses, in-service training and the attendance of curriculum committee meetings in order to assist professional nurses in their task of integrating Applied Biophysics and Biochemistry into the clinical learning situation
