Abstract
Abstract: A subset of undergraduate nursing students completed their Population Health clinical experience at a primary care center for refugee and immigrant health. The student clinical experience was evaluated using pre- and post-surveys and group interviews. Students represented diverse sociocultural backgrounds and varied in baseline exposure to immigrants and refugees (newcomers). Themes of compassion and holistic care, unique resources for care management, and interdisciplinary collaboration emerged from the student experience. Interaction with newcomers in the clinical environment exposes students to the health needs of a unique population subset. Innovative approaches are needed to prepare nurses to care for diverse populations.
期刊介绍:
A publication of the National League for Nursing, Nursing Education Perspectives is a peer-reviewed, bimonthly journal that provides evidence for best practices in nursing education. Through the publication of rigorously designed studies, the journal contributes to the advancement of the science of nursing education. It serves as a forum for research and innovation regarding teaching and learning, curricula, technology, and other issues important to nursing education. Today, as nurse educators strive to advance research in nursing education and break away from established patterns and chart new pathways in nursing education, Nursing Education Perspectives is a vital resource. Nursing Education Perspectives is housed in the NLN Chamberlain College of Nursing for the Advancement of the Science of Nursing Education.
