Abstract

To conduct a home-visit program for nursing students, to improve student confidence and comfort completing home visits in the underserved region of Southside, Virginia. The project was conducted in a rural community, where 24 nursing students and 1 family nurse practitioner made home visits once a week from September to December 2020. Students were evaluated on both their understanding of community health nursing and home-visit comfort levels via an anonymous pre- and post-home-visit assessment. Thirteen of the twenty-four students (54%) completed both the pre- and post-surveys. Results of the paired sample t-tests showed a significant increase in students’ comfort level from before the visit (3.0769) to after the visit (3.3077, p = .005). Students’ confidence levels also increased from before the visit (2.6923) to after the visit (3.3846, p = .006). Nursing educators are challenged to provide nursing students with the knowledge and skills needed to provide competent and compassionate evidence-based care in the field. Nursing student reported confidence in their nursing skills in the field after completing the home visit. Future research is needed on the benefit of completing home visits in nursing education programs.

满足农村社区的需求：结合课堂和临床技能的BSN家访计划

为护理专业学生开展家访计划，以提高学生在弗吉尼亚州南区服务不足地区完成家访的信心和舒适度。该项目在一个农村社区进行，从2020年9月到12月，24名护理专业学生和1名家庭执业护士每周家访一次。通过一项匿名的家访前后评估，评估学生对社区健康护理的理解和家访舒适度。二十四名学生中有十三名（54%）同时完成了事前和事后调查。配对样本t检验结果显示，从访视前（3.0769）到访视后（3.3077，p = .005）。学生的信心水平也从访问前（2.6923）上升到访问后（3.3846，p = .006）。护理教育工作者面临的挑战是为护理学生提供所需的知识和技能，以便在该领域提供称职和富有同情心的循证护理。一名护理专业学生在完成家访后表示，他们对自己在该领域的护理技能充满信心。未来需要对完成护理教育项目家访的益处进行研究。
