Abstract
HENRIQUEZ-MELGAREJO, Aurora; ABURTO-GODOY, Raquel; MORA-DONOSO, Marcela and LEON-PINO, José Manuel. Perception of nursing students and community partners of the Service-Learning (S-L) methodology. Index Enferm [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.3, e14362. Epub Mar 04, 2024. ISSN 1699-5988. https://dx.doi.org/10.58807/indexenferm20235798.
Objective:
To determine the perception of nursing students and community partners of the Service-Learning (S-L) methodology.
Methodology:
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample consisted of 62 nursing students and 30 representatives of educational establishments. The perception of nursing students and community partners of the S-L methodology was measured by means of a questionnaire developed by the authors.
Results:
The highest percentage of students perceived that they strongly agreed that the S-L methodology promotes the integration of prior knowledge, collaborative work and professional role development. On the other hand, the highest percentage of community partners perceived to strongly agree with the students’ work plan and professional attitude when applying the A-S methodology.
Conclusion:
The application of the S-L methodology in the training of nursing students can be a valuable tool for the development of skills and competencies necessary for the effective performance of their professional practice, as well as for improving their interaction with the community.
