Hirosaki University has regularly offered health support activities to residents of X town in Fukushima, and thus, some interactive benefits are expected as a service-learning experience for nursing students. This study aimed to clarify the experiences of students who participated in service-learning and consider which methods and content were effective. In total, 52 nursing students were recruited into the program, which was held from 2018 to 2021. The roles of students included assisting in health consultations related to a radiation disaster. Questionnaires designed by researchers with experience in risk communication programs were conducted on the students after the program, and included the reasons why they joined, their most memorable experiences, and their opinions regarding required support for residents. The data were analyzed by content analysis. The nursing students thought about the health of residents through health support activities in the affected areas. Furthermore, by communicating with residents via on-site service-learning, they could experience the humanity of the residents and the current status of the affected areas, learn the importance of person-to-person relationships, and think about reconstruction. Thus, service-learning was found to be effective and to offer substantial benefits for both residents and students in affected areas.
弘前大学定期为福岛县X镇的居民提供健康支持活动,因此,作为护理专业学生的服务学习体验,预计会有一些互动效益。本研究旨在阐明参与服务学习的学生的经历,并探讨哪些方法和内容是有效的。共有52名护理专业学生参加了该项目,该项目于2018年至2021年举行。学生的职责包括协助进行与辐射灾害相关的健康咨询。项目结束后,由具有风险沟通项目经验的研究人员设计的问卷对学生进行了调查,问卷内容包括他们参加的原因、最难忘的经历以及对居民所需支持的看法。数据通过内容分析进行分析。护理专业学生通过受灾地区的健康支持活动思考居民的健康问题。此外,通过现场服务学习与居民交流,他们能够体验居民的人性和受灾地区的现状,了解人际关系的重要性,并思考重建问题。因此,发现服务学习是有效的,对受灾地区的居民和学生都有很大益处。
