“…In general, students' reflections indicated that engagement in service-learning was a powerful active learning opportunity that influenced their perceptions of knowledge, skills, and confidence gained, thus supporting earlier literature (Alderman, 2004;Griffiths & Ursick, 2003;Hooper & Mitcham, 2004). Although the level of understanding and appreciation may differ from student to student, this study supports other studies that have also shown that service-learning can contribute to students' understanding and appreciation about disability (Fusner & Staib, 2004;Gitlow & Flecky, 2005;Greene, 1997Greene, , 1998Pearlman & Wallingford, 2003). Combined together, the qualitative and quantitative evidence from this study suggest that engagement in service-learning activities, a type of active learning experience, may be an effective way to help students understand the occupational needs of members in our society living with the effects of neurological conditions.…”

“…Examining student reflections (i.e., journals, assignments) is a common way to qualitatively assess the effects of service-learning (Gitlow & Flecky, 2005;Kelly & Miller, 2008;Narsavage et al, 2002;Pearlman & Wallingford, 2003;Wittman, Conner-Kerr, Templeton, & Velde, 1999). Following the completion of the service-learning experience, students wrote a three-to five-page reflection paper that was due on the last day of the class.…”

Education leaders in occupational therapy (OT) propose that active learning is one means to developing critical thinking skills essential for successful integration of knowledge into evidence-based practice. This study examines the impact of one type of active learning, service-learning, on students' perceptions of their knowledge, skills, and confidence in their abilities to provide OT services to adults with neurological conditions. Change in OT students' (n == 43) perceptions before and after engagement in service-learning were assessed using quantitative and qualitative data in a triangulation mixed-methods design. Results support previous studies indicating that service-learning can influence positive gains in student knowledge and confidence.

Student-led rehabilitation groups and clinics in entry-level health education: a scoping review AbstractObjective: The purpose of this review was to identify, map, and describe the characteristics of student-led physical rehabilitation groups and clinics in entry-level health education. Introduction:Student-led groups and clinics for physical rehabilitation are an emergent phenomenon in entry-level health professional education. Data gathered in this scoping review aimed to provide an understanding of the range and scope of student-led groups and clinics within a physical rehabilitation context and establish the evaluation undertaken to date from a student, service user, and stakeholder perspective. It also aimed to identify other important factors in the design, execution, and feasibility of the concept. Finally, it aimed to identify gaps in the literature that can be addressed by further research.Inclusion criteria: This scoping review considered studies and sources that identify studentled methods for carrying out physical rehabilitation for service users in either an exercise group or clinic environment. Students and groups/clinics on entry-level qualifying courses were considered. The review considered primary and secondary research in any paradigm as well as text and opinion articles. Methods:The JBI methodology for conducting scoping reviews was employed. The following databases were searched: MEDLINE, CINAHL, AMED, ERIC, Scopus, and SPORTDiscus. Searches were limited to January 1, 1998 to the day of the search (November 1, 2019). Non-English articles were excluded. To supplement the review, searches for gray literature were also undertaken. Data extraction was performed by two reviewers using a pre-determined data extraction form developed by the authors. Results:The results of the review are presented in narrative form and supported by tables and figures. This review identified 523 sources of information of which 111 were screened at full-text stage and 48 sources were eligible to be included in the final scoping review. A wide range of student-led groups and clinics that provide physical rehabilitation exist globally. Drivers for the clinics and groups vary; key aims included providing a learning environment for student skill development, serving as clinical placements, and providing a social enterprise. Evaluations focused on student experience, service user experience, and cost-benefit analyses.Conclusions: Student-led groups and clinics are at very different stages of development and use within entry-level curricula. The objectives and drivers for groups and clinics vary immensely worldwide, and therefore the evolution of groups and clinics has driven a wide and varied number of models globally.

“…The goals of health promotion relate to health, while the overarching goal of wellness is improved quality of life through living values and being well. Several authors (Campbell & Kreidler, 1994; Chiverton, 2007; Dierich, 2007; Pearlman & Wallingford, 2003; Reicherter & Greene, 2005; Rybarczyk, DeMarco, DeLaCruz, Lapidos, & Fortner, 2001; Turner, Thomas, Wagner, & Moseley, 2008) refer to wellness outcomes as the adoption of health‐promoting behaviors by older adults. However, descriptions of underlying mechanisms in these reports are not explicit, making it difficult to understand the relationship between wellness and health promotion.…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

PURPOSE. The purpose of this analysis is to examine the concept of wellness within the context of older adulthood. Identifying characteristics of wellness will clarify and develop conceptual strengths and limitations, providing a step toward evaluating its relevance in older adults and increasing utility in geriatric nursing. ORGANIZING FRAMEWORK. Rodger's evolutionary perspective. METHODS. Computer and manual searches were conducted of articles in the English language from 1950 to 2010, addressing wellness across the life span or among older adult populations. An inductive analysis of articles produced descriptive themes. FINDINGS. A historical time line traced the evolution of the wellness concept and its operationalization. Wellness has evolved from a little used concept to one commonly applied across many industries. Antecedents, attributes, and consequences of wellness are described. Concepts related to wellness are also identified. CONCLUSIONS. This concept analysis adds clarity to wellness in older adults. The state of wellness development as a concept in geriatric nursing is moving from conceptualization to use and testing in nursing theory and interventions. Increased knowledge of wellness will enable geriatric nurses to discover the strengths of older adults thereby promoting their ongoing growth and development while simultaneously guiding care for their changing and diverse health.
