Nursing Students Achieving Community Health Competencies through Undergraduate Clinical Experiences: A Gap Analysis

“…Without a doubt, teaching the principles of community health practice in a non-traditional setting is a challenge for faculty, although many rise to the challenge with passion and ingenuity. Considerations for narrowing the theory-practice gap may include the pursuit of joint appointments to enable faculty practice (Darbyshire, 2010;Rahnavard, Nodeh, & Hosseini, 2013) or a faculty practice model (Aquadro & Bailey, 2014;Barzansky & Kenagy, 2010;Dobalian et al, 2014) so that faculty remain in touch with practice and relationships are reestablished with community health practice areas. Collaborations between academe and practice have been shown to ease graduates' transition to practice Figure 4: Suggested hypothesis of why students have more trouble making links in community health (b) theory and practice than in medical/surgical (a) nursing.…”

Assessment of nursing students' competence in clinical practice: A systematic review of reviews

“…For example, the role of nurse educators has been reduced in Finland to the extent that nurse educators do not always attend the clinical practice of students (Pitkänen et al, 2018). Therefore, registered nurses who mentor students during their clinical practice have an increasingly significant role in guiding students in their learning process and supporting development of their professional nursing competence (Jokelainen et al, 2013;Rahnavard et al, 2013).…”

Advances in clinical pharmacy education in Germany: a quasi-experimental single-blinded study to evaluate a patient-centred clinical pharmacy course in psychiatry

“…To generalize the results of this study to German pharmacy education, further studies involving multiple study sites in Germany must be carried out. Nevertheless, the results of this study supported by the experience of ward-based courses led by a teacher practitioner in other countries and other disciplines [ 18 – 21 ] strongly suggest that this teaching module should become a fully integrated standard of teaching and learning in future clinical pharmaceutical education in Germany.…”

“…They facilitate the contact between faculty and the actual work environment and aid the development of skills such as problem solving, communication, application of knowledge, information retrieval and professionalism [ 17 ]. The benefit of clinical education has also been shown in other clinical disciplines, such as medicine and nursing [ 18 – 21 ]. Despite its positive track record, clinical education and direct patient contact within the German pharmacy education is very limited.…”
