VAL-U: Psychometric properties of a Values and Civic Attitudes Scale for University Students' Service-Learning

Abstract The service-learning disciplines can offer a unique opportunity for civic development in university students, as there is a large body of research that links it to values and civic attitudes including a vast number of ecological issues and citizen variables. Moreover, one should bear in mind that these students are future generations that will face many pressing social and environmental issues. Given the need to develop instruments to measure the impact of a service-learning methodology in university students' values as well as civic attitudes, VAL-U is proposed. As the university can be considered a learning step prior to the professional field, the main objective of this study was to analyse the internal consistency and factor structure of the proposed VAL-U scale in the Spanish population. The scale confirmed acceptable psychometric properties. Furthermore, the results have shown high reliability and optimal goodness of fit. Promising results are offered to employ VAL-U as a valuable tool for assessing Values and Civic Attitudes Scale for Spanish-speaking University Students' Service-Learning.

El desarrollo de humildad cultural mediante el aprendizaje servicio crítico / Developing cultural humility trough critical service learning

Millones de personas en los EE. UU. experimentan marcadas desigualdades en los servicios de salud que reciben. La segregación racial urbana y la estratificación social separan a los grupos sociales y dificulta la comunicación. Muchos profesionales de la salud de los Estados Unidos mantienen estereotipos negativos hacia la gente marginada de las zonas urbanas. Es necesaria la creación de vehículos para el entendimiento y el respeto entre los profesionales de salud y sus pacientes. La humildad cultural utiliza la autoreflexión, la autocrítica, la apertura y la trascendencia para abordar las desigualdades de poder. El “aprendizaje servicio crítico” (Critical Service Learning) es un tipo de “aprendizaje servicio” que adopta los principios de la teoría crítica para la formación de consorcios enfocados a fomentar la responsabilidad y justicia social. Este artículo describe el Proyecto Horizonte (Project Horizon), una colaboración innovadora de promoción de la salud y defensa social con base en una universidad que utiliza el aprendizaje servicio crítico en una comunidad urbana para fomentar la humildad cultural. Los resultados del Proyecto Horizonte demuestran que este consorcio es un vehículo eficaz para el desarrollo y la mejora de la humildad cultural entre los profesionales de la salud que participan en el esfuerzo. Implicaciones: Los proyectos de promoción social y de servicios de salud como el Proyecto Horizonte pueden ser reproducidos en otros lugares para aumentar la capacidad de desarrollo de enfermeras y otros profesionales de la salud con orientación democrática y poseedores de una mayor sensibilidad a la humildad cultural.

Marked inequities or disparities in health care and health outcomes exist for millions in the United States of America. Urban apartheid and increasing social stratification separate social groups making it difficult for them to understand each other. Many U.S. health care professionals, including nurses, hold negative stereotypes toward the urban poor and disenfranchised. Creating vehicles for understanding and respect between health care professionals and the social groups they care for is needed. Cultural humility uses self-reflection, self-critique, openness and transcendence to address power inequities between providers and clients. “Critical service-learning” is a type of “service-learning” that adopts the tenets of critical theory and pedagogy in engaged partnerships to foster social responsibility and a justice-oriented framework. The purpose of this article is to showcase Project Horizon, an innovative university-based health and social advocacy partnership that uses critical service learning with the urban community to foster cultural humility. Project Horizon outcomes show that this long-term engaged partnership is an effective vehicle for developing and enhancing cultural humility among health care professionals participating in the endeavor. Implications: Replication of social and health advocacy projects such as the one conducted through Project Horizon can be made in other settings to increase the capacity for democratically oriented nurses and other health care professionals who have an enhanced sense of cultural humility.
