title: Adapting and Integrating Photovoice in a Baccalaureate Community Course to Enhance Clinical Experiential Learning.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The adaptation and incorporation of photovoice--a qualitative research method--into the Community Health Nursing clinical course to foster students' clinical reasoning in a community setting is presented.
  
  
  METHODS
  Photovoice was used as a teaching strategy in the windshield survey and key informant interview activities that are part of the community health clinical experience. Students were provided with disposable cameras and were instructed to take photographs of the community.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Students shared the photographs with faculty and community members and explored ways of developing sustainable community-based interventions that promote and protect health.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Photovoice can be used as a teaching strategy tool in any clinical course to foster experiential learning.
