The role of urban service track coordinator in the US nursing schools and its implications for community nursing education in China
为应对城市健康差异问题,探究美国护理学院“城市服务路径”(urban service track,UST)协调员角色的运行机制,采用文献分析、案例研究和比较分析等多种研究方法,系统研究了UST的设立背景、职能架构及实践案例,总结出其“政策—教育—社区”三元联动模式的核心特征。基于UST在促进护理学生社区实践能力培养、改善城市健康差异方面取得的显著成效,针对中国城市化进程中社区护理资源不足、教育与需求脱节等现实问题,提出本土化改革路径,涵盖岗位设置、教育体系改革、政策与财政支持及数字赋能等方面,旨在探索跨学科协作的优化路径,为健康中国战略下的护理教育改革提供理论依据与实践参考。
