Background:
The education of nursing students should be such that the health needs of the community are met, but in Iran, due to some problems, students do not receive such education. Therefore, the present study was conducted to explain the existing challenges of community-based undergraduate nursing education in Iran.
Methods:
Ten individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with the faculty members and nursing specialists in this qualitative study. Eight focus group interviews were conducted to the nurses and nursing students using a purpose-based sampling method in 2022. The interviews were recorded and transcribed and then content analysis was done by the Lundman and Granheim method.
Results:
Five themes were obtained from the analysis of participants' responses, which include "weakness in community-based nursing education and curriculum", "treatment-oriented health system and education", "defect in the infrastructure and basic structures of community-based nursing education", "weakness in the implementation of community-based nursing education" and "weakness in the stakeholder engagement and cooperation of interested organizations".
Conclusion:
Interviews with the participants provided a vision of the challenges of community-based nursing education so that the reviewers of the undergraduate nursing curriculum in the ministry and nursing schools, educators, policymakers and nursing managers can use the results of the present study to improve the quality of education and the effective use of nursing students in responding to the community's needs and provide a proper context for improving students' learning.
