dc.description.abstract | This study investigated the utility of train transportation health care service in a North Eastern South African region.
Participants were seven psychology graduate students at a South African university. They completed reflective journals
on their subjective experience and objective reporting of their activities. While on the train, they provided psychological
services to the local community members. Data were thematically analysed. Aspects such as problem-solving driven by
community needs, personal motivation for community service, and awareness of differences in socioeconomic status
and cultural orientation were highlighted by students. This process highlights the value of service learning and social
accountability, particularly in South Africa and Psychology where a chasm exists between contextual challenges and
the conventional training and interventions. | |
