The purpose of this study is to examine public health nursing (PHN) students' experiences delivering peer-to-peer health education to college students during a health fair.
A qualitative, descriptive research design was used.
Senior-level nursing students (n = 13) completing the clinical portion of a PHN course.
A semi-structured focus group guide consisting of 10 questions and follow-up probes was used to elicit PHN student experiences. Focus groups were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using a thematic analysis technique.
Five main themes were identified: (1) benefits of health fairs in general, (2) benefits of nursing-student-led health fairs, (3) negatives of nursing-student-let health fairs, (4) importance of interaction, and (5) suggestions for maximizing the potential of nursing student-led health fairs.
Although challenges exist, PHN students experienced several benefits from the provision of peer-to-peer health education. College campuses represent a unique clinical site that allows nursing students to utilize their insider status to better assess, understand, and provide tailored health education to the college community. This clinical site has shown to provide positive experiences for nursing students and is critical in developing essential nursing skills and building confidence for future clinical rotations.
本研究旨在考察公共卫生护理（PHN）专业学生在健康博览会上为大学生提供同伴健康教育的体验。
采用定性、描述性研究设计。
完成 PHN 课程临床部分的高年级护理学生（n=13）。
使用由 10 个问题和后续探针组成的半结构化焦点小组指南，以引出 PHN 学生的经验。焦点小组进行了记录、转录和主题分析技术分析。
确定了五个主要主题：（1）健康博览总体上的好处，（2）护理学生主导的健康博览的好处，（3）护理学生主导的健康博览的负面影响，（4）互动的重要性，以及（5）最大化护理学生主导的健康博览潜力的建议。
尽管存在挑战，但 PHN 学生从提供同伴健康教育中获得了一些好处。大学校园代表了一个独特的临床场所，允许护理学生利用他们的内部地位更好地评估、理解和为大学生社区提供量身定制的健康教育。这个临床场所为护理学生提供了积极的体验，对于培养未来临床实习所需的基本护理技能和建立信心至关重要。
