Abstract

This qualitative study explored community members' willingness and cooperative participation in nursing student-led health interventions. Data from semi-structured interviews with 20 participants revealed that affordability, early disease detection, and convenient access were key motivators for engagement. However, concerns about privacy, fear of negative diagnoses, and time constraints presented significant barriers. Importantly, community members played a crucial role in promoting participation through peer influence and active collaboration with students. These findings highlight the need for future interventions to address identified barriers through improved communication, flexible scheduling, culturally sensitive approaches, and consistent program availability to maximize community engagement and improve health outcomes.
