چکیده

Chronic illness affects approximately 50% of adults in the United States (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). Nurses must be educationally prepared to meet the challenges of chronic disease management. The Chronic Care Model (CCM) is an effective framework for delivering planned, patient-centered care, with improved outcomes for individuals with chronic disease (Nutting et al., 2007). The model can also guide experiential learning activities during clinical rotations for undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students. Experiential learning is a powerful teaching activity that facilitates critical thinking (Lisko & O’Dell, 2010). Experiential activities bring the classroom to the clinic, and the CCM provides the framework. In 2010, George Mason University School of Nursing launched a Health Resources and Services Administration– funded faculty practice at a community free clinic. The CCM is the practice’s framework for integrative primary care, behavioral health care, and patient education for hypertensive and diabetic patients. The faculty found that the CCM is a useful model for directing planned clinical learning opportunities. Finding meaningful clinical experiences for students is challenging due to lack of facilities. The faculty practice at the free clinic was an ideal site for clinical rotations because many levels of nursing students could be accommodated simultaneously. This allows the graduate student to mentor and act as a role model for the undergraduate. The CCM includes the following six essential components of primary care for chronic conditions (Nutting et al., 2007):
