This research is an example of a service learning partnership between a prelicensure nursing program and local school district. Through this partnership, students participated in a thoughtfully organized project that met the needs of a community and promoted the humanizing of health care education. Nursing students, under the guidance of faculty, performed required physical examinations for Special Olympics athletes who represented a wide range of age, physical, social, and intellectual levels. Research findings indicated an increase in nursing students' affective and cognitive development after this activity.
这项研究是一个预执业护理项目与当地学区之间服务学习伙伴关系的实例。通过这种伙伴关系，学生们参与了一个精心组织的项目，该项目满足了社区需求并促进了医疗保健教育的人性化。护理专业学生在教师的指导下，为代表广泛年龄、身体、社会和智力水平的特奥会运动员进行了所需的体格检查。研究结果表明，这项活动后护理专业学生的情感和认知发展有所提高。
