Student experiential learning: a collaborative community practice project.

Theoretical and experiential learning in community assessment are essential components of the preparation of first-level community health nurses. This article describes a collaborative community practice project in which faculty incorporated senior baccalaureate community health nursing students as participants. Students assessed availability and utilization patterns of health care services in Spokane, Washington. Data derived from the survey were used by community planners in addressing issues of access to health care by low-income persons. Learning outcomes of this experiential process are described within the context of Burnard's Experiential Learning Model and community health nursing course objectives. Recommendations for design of similar experiential learning opportunities are made.

Community analysis: a collaborative community practice project.

Lack of access to health care is a concern in many communities. A group of representatives from health, social service, other community agencies and nursing education meet regularly to address issues in providing care to homeless, low-income, and uninsured persons in Spokane, Washington. This group's efforts has been hampered by lack of clearly identified factors that adversely affect access to care. One aspect of community analysis performed by this group used a collaborative community practice model. Community diagnoses were determined from information collected from service providers. Community health nursing faculty, as clinical specialists, can play a role in such a collaborative process.
