Public health nursing (PHN) competencies are fundamental for addressing population health inequities. Few pathways exist for employing these competencies in the United States (US). Social entrepreneurship in nursing education might provide opportunities for innovating engagement in population health. Partnerships between business and nursing schools have the potential to fulfill this opportunity.
Explore opportunities for re-invigorating public health nursing through social entrepreneurship education in nursing-business partnerships in U.S. universities.
Reviewed programs in nursing/business school partnerships from Carnegie-classified R1 Universities. Identified appropriate coursework.
Of 96 identified nursing schools, eight had business school partnerships, providing 12 programs. Most programs (n = 11) targeted graduate students and addressed core competencies for entrepreneurship. Five business schools had entrepreneurship expertise. Five nursing schools had PHN expertise. Three programs included population health competencies.
Despite missed opportunities for advancing social entrepreneurship education among undergraduate and graduate nursing students, existing curricular offerings in the partnerships provide promise. Business/nursing partnerships and PHN knowledge can stimulate the preparation and agency of nurses in addressing population health inequities.
探索通过美国大学护理-商业伙伴关系中的社会创业教育来重新激发公共卫生护理活力的机会。
从卡内基分类的 R1 大学中审查护理/商学院伙伴关系计划。确定了适当的课程。
在 96 所确定的护理学校中，有 8 所与商学院建立了伙伴关系，提供了 12 个项目。大多数项目（n=11）针对研究生，涉及创业核心能力。五所商学院拥有创业专业知识。五所护理学院拥有公共卫生护理专业知识。三个项目包括人口健康能力。
尽管在本科和研究生护理学生中推进社会创业教育的机会错失，但伙伴关系中现有的课程提供了希望。商业/护理伙伴关系和公共卫生护理知识可以激发护士在解决人口健康不平等方面的准备和能动性。
