Summary
The hub and spoke model enhances nursing students' practice learning by offering diverse experiences that improve understanding of community health and person-centred care. This approach helps students connect theory to practice and grasp the wider patient healthcare journey.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Practice Learning
- Pedagogy in Health Sciences
Background:
- The hub and spoke model, integrating a base placement (hub) with supplementary activities (spokes), has been used in undergraduate nursing programs since 2011.
- This model is recognized for its potential to enrich practical learning experiences for nursing students.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the specific attributes of the hub and spoke model that facilitate nursing students' learning.
- To assess how this model enhances students' comprehension of person-centred care.
Main Methods:
- A mixed-methods study involving undergraduate nursing students from child and mental health fields.
- Data collection utilized questionnaires and three focus groups to gather comprehensive insights.
Main Results:
- Questionnaire data from 24 students showed spoke activities improved understanding of community issues and learning competencies.
- Focus groups with 27 students revealed key themes: value for learning, making connections, and understanding organizational systems.
Conclusions:
- The hub and spoke model positively impacts nursing students' practice learning.
- Students valued the varied placement experience, gaining insights into the broader patient journey and community influences on health.

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning identifies four critical processes: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and reinforcement or motivation.
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Lev Vygotsky, a pioneering Russian psychologist, developed a theory of cognitive development that centers on the influence of social and cultural factors. Unlike Jean Piaget, who emphasized the child's direct interaction with the physical world as key to development, Vygotsky argued that cognitive growth is an interpersonal process that unfolds within a cultural context. For Vygotsky, a child's learning cannot be separated from their social environment, which includes the values,...

Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theories emphasize the potential for self-realization and the importance of addressing social and cultural, rather than biological, factors in personality development. She challenged traditional Freudian views, particularly Freud's concept of "penis envy," which she argued stemmed from cultural influences rather than inherent biological differences. Horney believed that any sense of inferiority in women was a result of societal conditioning, such as...

Julian Rotter introduced the concept of locus of control, a cognitive factor that significantly influences personality development and learning. Locus of control refers to an individual's beliefs about the extent of control they have over events in their lives. According to Rotter, this belief system can be categorized into two types: internal and external locus of control.
Individuals with an internal locus of control believe that their personal efforts and decisions directly affect their...
