TL;DR

By describing and interpreting themes of participation, the authors show how nursing curricula and instruction should be transformed regardless of clinical setting.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate an innovative approach to teaching and learning community-based nursing. A hermeneutic research procedure was used to analyze data from individual interviews with undergraduate nursing students, faculty, and community preceptors. Two themes, or common meanings, of participation were identified: 1) Forming new partnerships: Experiencing community-driven nursing, and 2) Creating new visions: Thinking about community-driven nursing. By describing and interpreting these themes, the authors show how nursing curricula and instruction should be transformed regardless of clinical setting.
