Background:
Public and community health nursing curriculum falls short in providing an assessment of student achievement through competency-based education. The aim of this evidence-based practice research was to demonstrate a lack of simulation use as a pedagogical means for the assessment of student achievement of community/public health nursing competencies (C/PHN) in prelicensure nursing programs.
Sample:
A systematic review yielded 10 articles.
Method:
Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) was employed for theme analysis of a systematic review. A crosswalk was created aligning themes from the systematic review to the C/PHN core competencies relevant to public health nursing developed by the Quad Council Coalition (QCC) (2018).
Results:
Three themes were identified from the systematic review that aligned with five of the eight domains from the C/PHN. Gaps in clinical and curricular exposure to specific public/community health concepts were identified.
Conclusion:
Simulation has the potential to incorporate various public health concepts, including those related to social determinants of health.
