This paper reports the findings from a descriptive study exploring community-nursing students’ experiences of interdisciplinary learning on managing depression. The study was completed as part of a specialist module workshop included in a post-registration community specialist practitioner programme. Questionnaire data included attitude ratings and qualitative evaluations of problem-based learning (PBL). A cohort of 34 community nurses responded. The findings identified issues relating to the learning process and its influence on the knowledge gained and attitudes to team work. Community nurses reported the workshop was thought provoking and the challenging issue is the different opinions of the district nurses role in managing depression from the perspective of the students. This study suggests that problem based learning had a positive impact on students’ learning which makes it a well-received contribution to learning. It also reinforced the importance of healthy attitudes towards collaboration in promoting mental health practice. All of these do ultimately have implications for clinical practice.

Whilst there is a significant body of research on the outcomes of problem-based learning (PBL) programmes (Albanese and Mitchell, 1993; Vernon and Blake, 1993), there is little information regarding the outcomes of community-oriented programmes (COL) for nursing students. Between 1994 and 1997, four university schools of nursing implemented problem-based, community-oriented learning (COL) programmes. This research sought to describe, evaluate and compare the outcomes of graduates from these four universities with graduates who had followed conventional programmes.

Introduction: In nursing education, it is expected that students take theoretical and practical courses. Practical components are an integral part of learning in nurses’ training, which is effected through placement of students in different clinical settings. In Namibia, hospitals, clinics and health centres are popularly utilized as a clinical environment for placing nursing students at all levels of studies. However, little is known on how students experience the placement at the health centres. In 2016 Nursing students from a satellite campus were placed at a health centre.Methods: The study followed qualitative research principles, and it was explorative, descriptive and contextual in nature. Data were collected from reflections submitted by second year nursing students from a UNAM satellite campus upon completion of their two weeks placement at a health centre in 2016. Data were analyzed using content analysis as a data analysis strategy. Trustworthiness of this study was ensured by applying the criteria of Lincoln and Guba, namely: credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability of the study.Results: The five themes that emerged from the study are: ‘interpersonal factors’, ‘students’ reactions to the learning context’, ‘enablers of students’ learning at a rural health centre’, ‘challenges experienced by students’, and ‘recommendations made by students on learning in a rural health centre’.Conclusion: It is evident that good interpersonal interaction between nursing staff, students and patients appear to have a positive impact on learning. Students reflected on limited supply of equipment, and limited cases available as challenges experienced during their placement. Furthermore, students made suggestions to improve placements in a rural health centre.
