For the past decade participation in service and experiential learning in higher education has increased. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experience of BSN and MSN students participating in a multidisciplinary service-learning course in a rural, underserved village in Belize. Researchers analyzed student journals utilizing qualitative data analysis techniques. There were eight consistent themes found in the student journals. The findings indicate that international service learning opportunities increase students' awareness of their place in a global society and the potential contribution they can make in society. For the past decade, service and experiential learning in higher education, including nursing education, has become increasingly important. Simply put, service and experiential learning combine community service activities with a student's academic study for the sole purpose of enriching the academic experience. As faculty, we feel the goal of baccalaureate and graduate nursing education is to produce an educated professional who will become a responsible citizen.
在过去十年中，高等教育中参与服务学习和体验式学习的情况有所增加。本研究的目的是探索护理学学士（BSN）和护理学硕士（MSN）学生参与伯利兹一个农村贫困村庄的多学科服务学习课程的实际经历。研究人员运用定性数据分析技术对学生日志进行了分析。在学生日志中发现了八个一致的主题。研究结果表明，国际服务学习机会提高了学生对自己在全球社会中所处位置的认识以及他们对社会可能做出的贡献。在过去十年中，包括护理教育在内的高等教育中的服务学习和体验式学习变得越来越重要。简而言之，服务学习和体验式学习将社区服务活动与学生的学术学习相结合，唯一目的是丰富学术体验。作为教师，我们认为本科和研究生护理教育的目标是培养一名受过教育的专业人员，使其成为一名有责任感的公民。
