Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore nursing students' experiences after completing community health nursing simulation encounters.
Methods: The study used a descriptive qualitative design. Through conventional content analysis, the research team analyzed the experiences of 73 nursing students after participating in community health nursing simulation encounters. The data come from nursing students' responses to three post-simulation qualitative questions.
Results: Nursing students identified both positive aspects (simulation as a great learning method, useful in understanding community health nurses' roles, faculty's role in facilitating an effective learning environment) and opportunities for improvement (needing for clear objectives, expectations, and roles).
Conclusions: Community health nursing simulation encounters can be a powerful educational method to help students experience and understand the roles of community health nurses.
Implications for international audience: Augmentation of the pre-brief component will further improve students' simulation experiences.
