Abstract

Introduction: Short-term experiences in global health (STEGH) provide nursing students with opportunities to develop global health competencies through immersion in another culture. Skills that students obtain by participating in STEGHs can inform future practice with diverse patient populations. However, educators encounter unique challenges to the quality and sustainability of STEGHs.

Methods: This article describes an academic partnership between a baccalaureate nursing program and a community-based international nongovernmental organization (INGO), how the partnership informed development of STEGH for nursing students, the benefits of the program for students and community, and the lessons learned through the process.

Results: Academic-INGO partnerships provide unique benefits for creating sustainable, rigorous STEGHs that are informed and guided by the needs of the hosting community.

Discussion: By partnering with community-based INGOs, faculty can design STEGHs that offer robust learning opportunities that facilitate the development of global health competencies while providing thoughtful, sustainable outreach for communities.

通过学术与非政府组织合作创造国际学生体验。

简介:全球健康短期经验(STEGH)为护理学生提供了通过沉浸在另一种文化中发展全球健康能力的机会。学生通过参加STEGHs获得的技能可以为未来不同患者群体的实践提供信息。然而，教育工作者在STEGHs的质量和可持续性方面遇到了独特的挑战。方法:本文描述了护理学士学位课程与社区国际非政府组织(INGO)之间的学术合作关系，该合作关系如何为护理学生的STEGH发展提供信息，该计划对学生和社区的好处，以及在此过程中吸取的经验教训。结果:学术与非政府组织的合作伙伴关系为创建可持续的、严格的STEGHs提供了独特的好处，这些STEGHs是根据托管社区的需求进行通知和指导的。讨论:通过与以社区为基础的国际非政府组织合作，教师可以设计STEGHs，提供强大的学习机会，促进全球卫生能力的发展，同时为社区提供周到、可持续的外展服务。
