“…SL has been established within nursing education as a reliable means to help students develop cultural competency, empathy, and community responsibility (Rodriguez & Lapiz-Bluhm, 2018). In its 2011 Future of Nursing report recommendations, the Institute of Medicine highlighted the need for a greater focus on managing the transition from school to practice (Institute of Medicine, 2011).…”

Currently there is no dedicated instrument for measuring nursing students' beliefs and attitudes about learning clinical skills in the service-learning (SL) environment. The National League for Nursing Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale (SCLS) was adapted as an SL assessment and administered to students in their final semester of a prelicensure baccalaureate program. Findings from this psychometric evaluation indicate that the SCLS is a reliable instrument for measuring student self-confidence in learning. Establishment of this tool provides evidence to ensure that judgments made about SL educational practices in clinical nursing courses are beneficial and credible.

Introduction: Schools of higher education can implement practices that promote educationally purposeful extracurricular activities within the context of their campus communities. Community service learning (CSL) activities have traditionally been used in nursing programs as graded course activities, usually in community health nursing courses. Student organizations can be instrumental in providing extracurricular ungraded opportunities for students to do CSL. This paper describes the conduct of an extracurricular CSL activity through a student organization which integrated nursing education competencies. Moreover, it determines the motivations and perceived benefits of extracurricular CSL participation among undergraduate nursing students at a minority-focused event. Materials and Methods:The International Nursing Students Association (INSA) organized a health screening targeted towards minority populations at the 2017 Asian Festival. Students were provided with orientation and practice to conduct the screening. They were also given a chance to experience the many activities of the festival. Following the screening, the student volunteers (N=12) were surveyed to identify motivators for CSL participation; completed a survey for health screening skills and transcultural competencies before and after the event; and wrote a 6-word reflection. Quantitative data were statistically analyzed; qualitative data were analyzed for emerging themes. Results:The predominantly female minority students (83%) joined the CSL activity for personal improvement (50%), commitment to the community (33%), and professional improvement (16%). They had significant (p<0.05) improvement in clinical skills and transcultural competencies. Reflection themes were congruent with the development of clinical skills, contribution to community health promotion, and cultural appreciation. Conclusion:This extracurricular CSL activity improved nursing skills, transcultural competencies, community health promotion, and cultural appreciation. Knowledge of motivators can develop strategies to enhance student participation. Extracurricular CSL activities could be an avenue to integrate nursing education into realworld experiences, providing care for diverse populations.
