Article Synopsis
- The study examines how a community-oriented nursing curriculum affects students' choice of interventions in community care.
- It involved a comparison between an intervention group that experienced a redesigned curriculum focused on community care themes and a historic control group.
- Results revealed that students in the community-oriented curriculum were more likely to select interventions aligned with the new themes compared to those taught under the traditional curriculum.
Background: Extramuralisation in healthcare has influenced medical and nursing curricula internationally with the incorporation of themes related to primary/ community care. Despite this, students do not easily change their career preferences. The hospital is still favourite, leading to labour market shortages in extramural care.

- The study explores the impact of a new community-care-oriented nursing curriculum on students' perceptions of community care, addressing the issue of low interest in this field among nursing students.
- The quasi-experimental survey included two groups—one receiving the new curriculum and a control group—and measured perceptions using the SCOPE scale.
- Results indicated no significant differences in community care perceptions or placement preferences between the two groups, highlighting ongoing challenges in attracting nursing students to community care roles.
The aim of this study was to develop a valid instrument to measure student nurses' perceptions of community care (SCOPE). DeVellis' staged model for instrument development and validation was used. Scale construction of SCOPE was based on existing literature.

Obtaining knowledge of how students perceive healthcare areas early in their education is important to take meaningful steps in counteracting any existing misconceptions with targeted curriculum redesign.
Objective: Determination of factors underlying perceptions of healthcare areas in first-year baccalaureate nursing students.
Background: Despite increasing shortages of highly educated community nurses, far too few nursing students choose community care. This means that a strong societal problem is emerging that desperately needs resolution.
Objectives: To acquire a solid understanding of the causes for the low popularity of community care by exploring first-year baccalaureate nursing students' perceptions of community care, their placement preferences, and the assumptions underlying these preferences.
Objectives: To review recent literature on student nurses' perceptions of different areas of nursing practice, in particular community care. Healthcare is changing from care delivery in institutional settings to care to patients in their own homes. Problematic is that nursing students do not see community care as an attractive line of work, and their perceptions of community care do not reflect the realities of the profession.
