Abstract
Health promotion should underpin undergraduate nursing curricula but approaches to teaching nursing students about health promotion vary widely and are rarely evaluated. A practice development project was undertaken to develop a toolkit of resources that would enhance the health promotion practice of nursing students on placements in community settings. The project was a collaboration between a community public health nursing team and a university in the south west of England. It involved students from one cohort of first-year children’s nursing students and practice supervisors from a community placement setting. The authors used an emancipatory practice development methodology to explore the views and attitudes of five nursing students and 11 practice supervisors. The findings were used to develop a toolkit of resources that could enhance nursing students’ health promotion practice.
