Abstract:
The shift to community-based practice presents challenges to traditional nursing education. One such challenge is that of student safety. The authors discuss the continuing efforts to develop an instrument to assess student perceptions of threats in the community as well the findings of a pilot study. Analysis of the data indicates that the Environmental Comfort Scale III is valid, reliable, and easy to administer and interpret.
