Cocurricular Clinical Opportunity: Addressing Student Attitudes, Knowledge, and Skills With Disability Education
Background:
Multiple organizations have urged inclusion of disability content in health care professional's education and training. Few nursing schools in the United States have adopted dedicated disability curricula nor studied its impact on attitudes, knowledge, and skills of disability education. Evidence suggests that inadequate education contributes to health care disparities and unmet needs of people with disabilities.
Method:
A 2-hour cocurricular clinical experience was developed, using established competencies, and offered to senior nursing students. Students participated in multimodal experiences, with an emphasis on clinical exposure in various facilities serving children and adults with disabilities.
Results:
Five cohorts of students (N = 34) participated in the fellowship. Data illustrate the strong need to continue and require the curricula.
Conclusion:
Faculty should develop disability education secondary to population prevalence and in accordance with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing's essential competencies. [.
