Book excerpt: Service learning has been adopted and adapted by many academic institutions mostly in the United States for the past two decades. It has been recognized as a valuable tool to student learning and also to awaken their community service ideals. Most of the studies on service learning focused on how service learning activities were implemented and its impact on the students and the community. There are also some reports about barriers that hinder its application as well as limitations. Although it has positive outcomes to students, faculty, institutions and the community, some view it to be burdensome and time consuming. It has also made a notion that it stresses the differenc between those who have and those who do not have. Integrating studies from various university programs, the studies on service has been documented in business, management, education and in high school curriculum. In nursing, questions are still raised if it has to subscribe to service learning as claims that it has always been in nursing persists. Few nursing institutions that ascribe to servie learning made researches that dwelt on student experiences. Additionally, most available researches on service learning were descriptive in nature, done quantitatively using surveys; some were qualitative using interviews and case studies. Service learning may have been perceived to be more advantageous that not, but only a small number of studies were done in the Philippines and none was done yet relative to service learning in nursing. Service as a feature of nursing cannot be questioned, but with the changes and challenges arising from globalization, service in nursing has to be revisited. Rolling from the routines of basic Philippine nursing education, the conception of a baseline data that will express the need for service learning is essential. Looking at the potential of service learning in the Philippine nursing education will help make us recognize its role in preparing competent nurses and in formalizing its integration in the Philippine nursing curriculum. As a teaching-learning method, service learning has been recognized in several academic institutions and programs since late 1990's. Even though it has been strongly recognized to provide positive outcomes, there is need to assess its potentials in an academic setting where service is believed to be a mainstay and in another locale. With the use of mixed methods approach to researh, this paper adds to the available Philippine literature on service learning and will provide baseline data on the need to take on service learning as a strategy in educating future nurses. This study also contributes to the available international researches on service learning which can be used for possible comparative studies to determine similarities and differences across cultures. This study assessed and analyzed the neeed for service learning in the nursing curriculum context. This has looked into the key persons - students and nurse educators, who will play important roles in the service learning program when integrated in the Philippine nursing education system. On the one hand, the study characterized the contemporary Filipino nursing students according to their servie orientation and value priorities which can provide reasons for why service learning has to be considered. Factor analysis of why, when and how these students render service revealed that they can be grouped according to their nine service styles. Their responses to the vignettes were used to delineate their priorities in serving the self or others. Using phenomenology on the other hand, the study also surface the nurse professoriate's concepts of service that highlighted their desire to transmit their service ideals to their students; it also gave a view on their assessment of their present students' directions to serve as well as the role potentialities of service learning when integrated in the nursing curriculum. Additionally, this study identified some service learning elements used in the practice of teaching nurses in the Philippines that could be a jumpstart in formalizing the service learning component of educating future nurses.

Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decade ahead will test the nation's nearly 4 million nurses in new and complex ways. Nurses live and work at the intersection of health, education, and communities. Nurses work in a wide array of settings and practice at a range of professional levels. They are often the first and most frequent line of contact with people of all backgrounds and experiences seeking care and they represent the largest of the health care professions. A nation cannot fully thrive until everyone - no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make - can live their healthiest possible life, and helping people live their healthiest life is and has always been the essential role of nurses. Nurses have a critical role to play in achieving the goal of health equity, but they need robust education, supportive work environments, and autonomy. Accordingly, at the request of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, on behalf of the National Academy of Medicine, an ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study aimed at envisioning and charting a path forward for the nursing profession to help reduce inequities in people's ability to achieve their full health potential. The ultimate goal is the achievement of health equity in the United States built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise. By leveraging these attributes, nursing will help to create and contribute comprehensively to equitable public health and health care systems that are designed to work for everyone. The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity explores how nurses can work to reduce health disparities and promote equity, while keeping costs at bay, utilizing technology, and maintaining patient and family-focused care into 2030. This work builds on the foundation set out by The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2011) report.
Download or read book Integrating Social Care into the Delivery of Health Care written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrating Social Care into the Delivery of Health Care: Moving Upstream to Improve the Nation's Health was released in September 2019, before the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic in March 2020. Improving social conditions remains critical to improving health outcomes, and integrating social care into health care delivery is more relevant than ever in the context of the pandemic and increased strains placed on the U.S. health care system. The report and its related products ultimately aim to help improve health and health equity, during COVID-19 and beyond. The consistent and compelling evidence on how social determinants shape health has led to a growing recognition throughout the health care sector that improving health and health equity is likely to depend â€" at least in part â€" on mitigating adverse social determinants. This recognition has been bolstered by a shift in the health care sector towards value-based payment, which incentivizes improved health outcomes for persons and populations rather than service delivery alone. The combined result of these changes has been a growing emphasis on health care systems addressing patients' social risk factors and social needs with the aim of improving health outcomes. This may involve health care systems linking individual patients with government and community social services, but important questions need to be answered about when and how health care systems should integrate social care into their practices and what kinds of infrastructure are required to facilitate such activities. Integrating Social Care into the Delivery of Health Care: Moving Upstream to Improve the Nation's Health examines the potential for integrating services addressing social needs and the social determinants of health into the delivery of health care to achieve better health outcomes. This report assesses approaches to social care integration currently being taken by health care providers and systems, and new or emerging approaches and opportunities; current roles in such integration by different disciplines and organizations, and new or emerging roles and types of providers; and current and emerging efforts to design health care systems to improve the nation's health and reduce health inequities.

Book excerpt: "EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION "This book brings a thoughtful and refreshing perspective on experiential education. Educators interested in outdoor learning, service learning, and place-based learning will find in Roberts' analysis a critical understanding of what learning by doing means." Dilafruz Williams, Portland State University What is experiential education? What are its theoretical roots? Where does this approach come from? Offering a fresh and distinctive take, this book is about going beyond "learning by doing" through an exploration of its underlying theoretical currents. As an increasingly popular pedagogical approach, experiential education encompasses a variety of curriculum projects from outdoor and environmental education to service learning and place-based education. While each of these sub-fields has its own history and particular approach, they draw from the same progressive intellectual taproot. Each, in its own way, evokes the power of "learning by doing" and "direct experience" in the educational process. By unpacking the assumed homogeneity in these terms to reveal the underlying diversity of perspectives inherent in their usage, this book allows readers to see how the approaches connect to larger conversations and histories in education and social theory, placing experiential education in social and historical context. Combining a critical philosophical approach with practical examples from the field, Beyond Learning by Doing gives readers both an excellent summary of the theoretical histories of experiential education and a thesis-driven argument about the current state of the field and its future possibilities and limitations Jay W. Roberts is Associate Professor of Education and Environmental Studies, Earlham College"-- Provided by publisher.

Nurse educators from a wide range of institutions share their insights about the successes and challenges of program development, implementation, and evaluation. There are undoubtedly a myriad of stories behind each partnership and project, for each time we develop a new global connection we learn so much about our partners and their culture. We create memories of others, of their strengths and limitations, of their struggles for health and wellness, and we can conclude that we are more alike than different. The global service-learning model offers an excellent structure within which to enhance our participation in the global health care community. This book charts the course of our accomplishments thus far, and challenges us to stretch even more. --Publisher description.

Download or read book Teaching and Learning in Nursing written by Gregor Stiglic and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant body of knowledge is the basis for a holistic, caring and scientific evidence-based nursing education in practice for professional development. Quality teaching leads to good learning and both aspects are two of the main issues of quality assurance in nursing education today. To begin with, not all nursing students have the same levels of motivation or learning abilities. It is with cognisance of providing quality care for patients that the role of the nurse educator has to be to enhance nursing students' learning using scientific evidence based teaching. Research around teaching and learning processes is an important part of the delivery of quality education, which in turn impacts on students' learning results and experiences, thereby, ensuring holistic biopsychosocial care to patients. The main aim of teaching and learning in nursing, at all levels, is to enhance the nurses' contribution to assist the individuals, families and communities in promoting and preserving health, well-being and to efficiently respond to illnesses. We hope that this book can be used as a resource to increase the body of knowledge in teaching and learning in nursing, thereby enhancing the role and contribution of health care professionals to clinical practice.
