Engaging Nursing Students in Community Partnerships: Development of a Health Promotion Program
Background:
Experiential learning experiences addressing the needs of underserved populations have been recognized by the National League of Nursing as an important component of nursing education. Engaging students in academic experiences involving community partnerships enhances interprofessional and leadership skills to address social determinants of health (SDOH).
Method:
Undergraduate community health nursing students participated in the development of a youth health promotion program in an underserved community with a primarily Hispanic population. Students engaged in program development, implementation, community partner collaboration, and outcomes evaluation.
Results:
Students reported the health promotion program provided them a unique experience helping an underserved community with limited resources. Students further noted the importance of culturally congruent interventions that are tailored to the population being served.
Conclusion:
Engaging nursing students in academic partner collaborations addressing SDOH is an important step in preparing students to lead, develop, and implement community health interventions in their future practice.
