title: Community-driven nursing transforming nursing curricula and instruction.
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate an innovative approach to teaching and learning community-based nursing. A hermeneutic research procedure was used to analyze data from individual interviews with undergraduate nursing students, faculty, and community preceptors. Two themes, or common meanings, of participation were identified: 1) Forming new partnerships: Experiencing community-driven nursing, and 2) Creating new visions: Thinking about community-driven nursing. By describing and interpreting these themes, the authors show how nursing curricula and instruction should be transformed regardless of clinical setting.
