The multiple impacts of the environment on the health of populations can oftentimes be clouded by the daily care practices of healthcare providers. This case study describes an innovative graduate level elective course that uses a problem-based approach to apply evidence-based principles of environmental health to the care of populations. Initial implementation of the course, over two cohorts in 2023, had primarily second-degree undergraduate nursing students. Lessons learned included the necessity to provide peer-to-peer support for several of the graduate level assignments. Positive student outcomes included an expanded understanding of the three main content areas of the course: (1) how soil, air, and water must be considered in individual and population-centered care; (2) the impact of the design of the built and healthcare built environment; and (3) considerations of planetary health for sustainability and mitigation. Faculty outcomes included coaching of undergraduate students in this graduate course and the development of peer-to-peer mentoring activities.
环境对人群健康的多重影响常常会被医疗保健提供者的日常护理实践所掩盖。本案例研究描述了一门创新的研究生水平选修课程，该课程采用基于问题的方法，将环境卫生的循证原则应用于人群护理。该课程于2023年在两个班级首次实施，主要面向本科护理专业二年级学生。吸取的经验教训包括有必要为一些研究生水平的作业提供 peer-to-peer 支持。积极的学生成果包括对课程三个主要内容领域有了更广泛的理解：（1）在以个人和人群为中心的护理中必须如何考虑土壤、空气和水；（2）建筑环境和医疗建筑环境设计的影响；（3）为实现可持续性和缓解而对地球健康的考量。教师成果包括在这门研究生课程中指导本科生以及开展 peer-to-peer 指导活动。
