Experiences of Student Volunteers Who Continuously Participated in a Community Café Run by a University with a Nursing Faculty

Abstract

本研究の目的は看護学部を有する大学が運営するコミュニティカフェに継続参加した学生ボランティアの経験を明らかにすることである。コミュニティカフェにボランティアとして２回以上参加したことがある学生６名に個別での半構造化面接を行い，質的帰納的に分析した。その結果，【地域住民とのコミュニケーションを通して対人関係スキルを得る】【大学内において新たな関係を築く】【友人・他学生・教員の支えを感じながら活動する】【自分自身にとっての社会貢献活動の価値を見いだす】の４カテゴリーが明らかとなった。結果を運営やボランティア募集の方法に生かすことで，参加者，学生ボランティア双方から魅力あるコミュニティカフェの運営を検討できると考える。The purpose of this study was to determine the experiences of student volunteers who continuously participated in a community café run by a university with a nursing faculty. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with six students who had participated in the community café as volunteers at least twice, and data/responses were analyzed qualitatively and inductively. The results revealed the following four categories: “Gaining interpersonal skills through communication with local residents,” “Building new relationships within the university,” “Being able to work while feeling support from friends, other students, and faculty,” and “Being able to recognize the value of social contribution activities”. It is suggested that by applying these results to cafe management and volunteer recruitment methods, the community café can become more appealingto both participants and student volunteers.3departmental bulletin pape
