Abstract
Nurse faculty created an innovative service-based learning opportunity to raise awareness about infant mortality while offering senior nursing students a leadership opportunity in promoting perinatal public health. To evaluate its impact, student perceptions were analyzed using a pretest-posttest survey, and debriefing sessions for faculty were facilitated. The strategy increased student confidence and their ability to provide patient education.
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.
