Resumen
Background: Leadership competence is important to ensure the provision of safe and high-quality care in hospitals. Purpose: The aim was to demonstrate the feasibility of enhancing the perceived leadership competence of nursing students through an innovative health education strategy, consisting of a student-led dedicated education unit (DEU) informed by a service-learning approach in a community setting. Design: Feasibility study in a three-phase process: I: Design; II: Acceptability and implementation; III: Expansion to a different setting. In phase II the DEU was piloted with 62 students using a pretest/post-test with control group design. In phase III it was piloted with 20 students in the expansion setting. Methods: The DEU was implemented and tested in Barcelona (Spain) between 2014 and 2019. To assess acceptability and implementation, students' perceived leadership competence was measured using the Self-Assessment Leadership Instrument. We also obtained satisfaction ratings using an ad hoc questionnaire. Results: Satisfaction was high among students, as well as among service users who received health education. In phase II, students' post-test self-ratings of their leadership competence were higher in both the intervention and control groups, but the increase was significantly greater among students who participated in the DEU (25.84 % vs. 16.72 %, p = .012). Similar results were obtained in the expansion phase, with students in the intervention group once again showing a significant increase in perceived leadership skills (12.89 %, p = .005). Conclusions: Student-led DEUs appear to be an effective way of enhancing perceived leadership competence among senior nursing students.
