RESUMO
Nurse educators are challenged to revise teaching/learning methods to support community-based primary health care (PHC) systems. The key elements are: integrating education with the realities of practice and people's needs; moving communities to strive towards solving their own health problems; and recognizing the socioeconomic health determinants. Described below are four educational methods based on PHC: inquiry-based learning, IMPACTS (a game to encourage multisectoral collaboration), distance education and community-based education.

The purpose of this article is to describe the use and effectiveness of focus group methodology for curriculum development. This unique approach grew from the investigators' belief in the application of the principles of primary health care in designing a curriculum for community-based nursing education. The specific content and outcomes of the focus groups in relation to three curricular themes are reported in this journal in the article "Community-Based Nursing Education: Research Study from the NLN Vision for Nursing Education--Hawai'i, Phase II." The current article concentrates on the process and methods used.

Four sites--Hawai'i, Minnesota, Texas, and Massachusetts--were selected by the NLN to participate in the National League for Nursing Vision for Nursing Education: Phase II Project, a one-year initiative focused on community-based nursing education. This initiative, for the year 1995-1996, was funded by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation and coordinated by a national project director. Each site received $100,000 to be used to develop curricular models for community-based nursing. Other components of the initiative as it took place in Hawai'i--an exploration of regulatory issues regarding community-based nursing education and a description of the process of change--are reported elsewhere.
