“…These factors are well supported in the literature. The present environmental scan results corroborated the findings of Edwards and Alley (2002), who found resistance from faculty members regarding the balance of community-based versus acute care curriculum content. In the U.S., funding for illness prevention and health promotion activities was cut dramatically, and there have been serious shortages of public health nurses.…”

The Canadian Schools of Nursing (CASN) task force on public health was mandated to facilitate Schools of Nursing to provide students with the foundation required to meet the Canadian Community Health Nursing Standards of Practice. This paper reports on an environmental scan that explored barriers and enablers influencing the integration of community health nursing content in baccalaureate education in Canada. Data was collected over three phases including: 1) a pan-Canadian survey of nursing schools, 2) completion of open-ended workbook questions by educators, policy makers, administrators, and community health nursing managers attending a pan-Canadian symposium on community health nursing, and 3) recorded notes from the symposium. The response rate for the survey was 72.5% (n = 61 schools) and approximately 125 stakeholders participated in symposium activities. Internal and external enablers and challenges as well as recommendations for practice and education are presented.

“…What does exist suggests, first, that community health clinical education is oriented toward community health nursing care, which usually focuses on health promotion and injury/illness prevention activities and may involve population-level initiatives, rather than communitybased nursing, which may involve acute, rehabilitative, or palliative care in the community setting (Edwards & Alley, 2002;Zotti, Brown, & Stotts, 1996).…”

Community Health Clinical Education in Canada: Part 1 - "State of the Art"

This paper presents the findings of a survey of community health clinical education in twenty-four Canadian pre-licensure baccalaureate nursing programs. A qualitative research design was used, involving a content analysis of Canadian course syllabi and supporting documents for community health courses. This study afforded a cross-sectional understanding of the "state of the art" of community health clinical education in Canadian schools of nursing. Clinical course conceptual approaches, course objectives, types of clinical sites, format and number of clinical hours, and methods of student evaluation are identified. The findings suggest the need for a national dialogue or consensus building exercise regarding curriculum content for community health nursing. Informing this dialogue are several strengths including the current focus on community health (as opposed to community-based) nursing education, and a solid socio-environmental perspective informing clinical learning and practice. The national data set generated by this study may have relevance to nursing programs globally.

“…The literature consistently concludes that adequate preparation for the community role is essential (Besner, 2000; Bryans, 2000; Pearson & Care, 2002). Several studies report on the implementation and evaluation of transition courses and training intended to prepare acute care nurses for home health practice (Carter et al., 2005; Edwards & Alley, 2002; Kaiser et al, 2002), but research studies that investigate the actual competencies associated with the transition from acute care to community care settings are limited (Adams, 1998; Hartung, 2003; Pearson & Care). This lack of research into competencies has led to the development of continuing education programs with arbitrarily inserted additional content, based on personal anecdotal evidence and not evidence‐based research, which may not produce an effective or efficient outcome (Kaiser et al.…”

The results of this investigation revealed themes derived from data collection, including autonomy, client and family, education, and community as nursing work. This study indicated that making the transition to community-based nursing includes conceptual as well as emotional adjustments. Community nursing practice was seen by the participants as nursing that captures a holistic approach incorporating multiple dimensions from psychological, sociological, economic, and physical to spiritual aspects that provides services in interaction between the community nurse, the client, and the family. The findings indicate a need for additional supportive preparation strategies incorporated into nursing orientation and continuing education programs. Future research investigating agency culture and socialization would provide a more definitive survey of perceptions and competencies needed for role.
