[Clinical Education in Community Health Nursing Using Scaffolding Learning Strategy]

Clinical patient education is important, particularly in community healthcare settings, and is an indispensable part of this nursing specialty. Clinical patient education is the process of communicating health knowledge and behaviors. The concept of scaffolding learning strategies is a key to cognitive advancement through language, communication, and interpersonal interactions. Knowledge is constructed using a process of mutual understanding, cooperative learning, and problem-solving that helps develop thinking, language, and communication skills. In this article, scaffold learning strategies are integrated into the teaching process of community nursing clinical education. Using approaches such as modeling, feedback, instructing, questioning, and cognitive structuring, an instructional design framework may be developed to deliver innovative nursing and patient education. Using a group study mode, students may improve their logic in nursing, health education organization, and patient education while enhancing their learning motivation, sense of achievement, and self-confidence, which may become the basis of teaching. We look forward to this teaching experience providing a reference for the design of various nursing courses.
