“…Service learning is an “educational experience in which students participate in an organised service activity that meets identified community needs and actively engages students in reflection to increase understanding of course content, provide broader appreciation of the discipline, and enhance students’ sense of civic responsibility” (Brown and Roodin 2001). Thus service learning provides students opportunities to produce the best outcomes from volunteer service and to relate their experiences to their learning objectives (Johanson 2009). Through participation in service learning projects with the elderly, medical and nursing students are able to identify age-related changes and the needs of older adults, overcome current myths about aging and gain the confidence to communicate with older adults.…”

“…Service learning is more than simple voluntary service, or practica or internships (Brown and Roodin 2001); it requires students to participate, understand and reflect (Johanson 2009). Service learning components have been incorporated in some nursing curricula; examples include providing voluntary services in an orphanage in Mexico (Johanson 2009), or doing something like reading stories that can be done in 10–12 weeks and can make a difference to older adults (Kirkpatrick and Brown 2006).…”

Students’ perceptions and feelings about their experiences in service learning projects have been reported in qualitative studies (Kirkpatrick and Brown 2006; Clayton and Dilley 2009; Johanson 2009). However, quantitative data on the effectiveness of service learning in students’ attitudes toward older adults or increasing their knowledge about aging have seldom been reported.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the long term effect of a service learning project on medical and nursing students’ knowledge in aging and their attitudes toward older adults. A total of 124 students were recruited and then randomized to intervention group (IG) and control group (CG). A pre-and-post-intervention design measured students’ knowledge in aging (using modified Palmore’s Fact on Aging Quiz) and attitudes toward older adults (using Kogan’s Old People Scale). A total of 103 students completed all the activities and questionnaires. After the intervention, there were significant differences between the IG and CG on Palmore’s mental health (MH) (P = .04), Palmore’s total score (P = .02) and Kogan’s negative attitudes toward older adults (P = .001). All students increased their positive attitude toward older adults after the intervention. However, both the IG and CG showed a decrease in positive attitudes 1 month after the interventon, and such decrease varied, depending on the programme which students attended. The current study showed that the 10-week service learning activities significantly increased medical and nursing students’ overall knowledge of aging and their understanding of mental health needs in old age, and reduced their negative attitudes toward older adults. However, the effect is not long-lasting. On the other hand, its effect on positive attitudes toward older adults cannot be concluded. Periodic contacts with older adults via service learning activities may be needed to sustain attitude change toward older adults.

Learning-by-Teaching and Service Learning to Promote Bleeding Control Education

et al. 2021

ollaborating with community partners for a school of nursing paves the way for many positive outcomes, such as improved health for the community and service learning opportunities for nursing students. Educational and community-based programs continue to play a role in preventing disease and injury, improving health, and enhancing quality of life, which is at the heart of reaching the goals of Healthy People 2020. 1 Our school of nursing underwent a curriculum change in fall 2019 to move toward a disease prevention and health promotion model with an emphasis on population health. Public health education and community service are integral to this philosophical change. In this article, we describe an academic-community partnership whereby we partnered with local emergency response agencies, hospitals, and educational districts to teach lifesaving bleeding control techniques to school nurses, school staff, students, and the public. The program used a service learning model whereby nursing students coordinated and created their own public health education experiences. We used a learning-by-teaching methodology to maximize student learning. Finally, we incorporated program evaluation early in the design process so that pertinent data were captured with an emphasis on measuring student learning outcomes (SLOs) and community impact. BackgroundStop the Bleed (STB) is a globally recognized bystander emergency response training initiative sponsored by the American College of Surgeons. 2 The course teaches nonhealth care laypersons to identify and respond to life-threatening bleeding events. The impetus for the program arose after the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy 3 ; however, the skills of bleeding control and tourniquet placement are first-aid skills that can be used for traumatic injuries other than gun violence, including workplace and industrial accidents, rural and farm equipment accidents, and motor vehicle collisions, where such injuries can cause death in minutes. 2 A

Accelerated RN-to-BSN Service-Learning Program Serves the Vulnerable

The definition, implementation, and benefits support the value of service-learning for nursing education. However, accelerated RN-to-BSN programs may have difficulty requiring service-learning experiences. This article offers a biblical rationale for service with vulnerable populations and an example of how service-learning is implemented into the curriculum of an accelerated, nontraditional, online/onsite RN-BSN completion program at a Christian university.
