Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent vaccine hesitancy highlighted the need for additional learning experiences for nursing students to address person-centered care and communication. This project aimed to employ a three-step service-learning experience consisting of town hall meetings, motivational interviewing training, and rural health fairs to address vaccine hesitancy in communities surrounding the college. Evaluation of the project revealed satisfaction and increased confidence among participating nursing students.
