Windshield survey as a teaching strategy to effect community health nursing clinical outcomes in Canada
[2024-02-11 09:02:03]
Nursing students participating in a Canadian undergraduate education program are participating in community medical training for the first 16 weeks clinical course. Community health nurse (CHN) works with people who live, work, study, worship, and play in order to promote health. CHN cooperates with individuals, families, groups, communities, systems, and people in various situations. These nurses see health as a dynamic process of physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being and regard it as a resource of daily living being influenced by environmental, belief and health determinants . At the beginning of the clinical course, the student receives an investigation of the windshield. The windshield survey was used as an educational strategy to influence the clinical outcome of community medicine. This survey will provide students with a scan of the community. Here, students can collect objective data, pay attention to watching, listening, feeling smell, touching. The population health promotion model is used as a framework to guide information gathering. Students ask the following questions about the population. What is public transportation? Does the community accept diversity? Is healthy resource affordable for housing and food sources? Windshield survey helps students think like CHN. This strategy provides students with opportunities to understand complex determinants, the role of team partners, and regional strengths and abilities. Students learn to understand each community as their own life, and everyone in this community is unique. In this presentation we will share detailed information on windshield surveys including evidence-based surveys, survey content, survey, survey results as education and learning strategies, nursing student's preliminary assessment and ex-post evaluation.
Magdalene Ho-Asjoe has extensive experience as a community public health nurse and clinical instructor. Magdalene is passionate about making the students' skills and knowledge gained from local medical care useful in their practice. She continues to use in-depth research strategies to produce effective learning outcomes for continuous improvement and to incorporate valuable student opinions
Nurses and other health professionals are increasingly using simulations as strategies and tools for education and learning at all levels that require clinical training. Simulation is considered an effective solution to replace real clinical exposure time, as care and other medical professional courses are faced with inadequate clinical learning opportunities challenges (Miller, 2014 ; & Hayden et al., 2014). Clinical simulation is defined as "to try to reproduce some or almost all of the fundamental aspects of the clinical situation so that understanding and management is facilitated when performed in a clinical setting" (Mortan, 1995, p. Simulation exposes learners to actual clinical scenarios in a simulated learning environment rather than waiting to occur rarely in real situations (Kait, 2007 & Norman, 2012)
