Nursing students’ simulated home-visit learning experiences-A Qualitative research

Object The aim of this study was to explore the learning experiences of student nurses’ simulation-based community visit and understand these experiences in detail. Method This study followed Colazzi’s phenomenological research method. Nineteen participants were divided into three teams and participated in focus group interviews. The research question was as follows: “How was your experience with the simulated home-visit nursing?” Results The study results uncovered four essential themes: “burden of community nursing simulation-based learning,” “solving the problems faced by patients with dementia through teamwork,” “home-visiting nursing skills learned through physical practice,” and “community nursing competency growth.” Conclusion The study results provide a basis for developing a community nursing curriculum with effective evaluation and management of community home-visiting nursing education using simulation.
