Background: This study aimed to examine the qualities required for new graduate visiting nurses from the perspective of experienced home-visiting nurses.
Methods: An anonymous survey was mailed to 2,000 home-visiting nurses randomly selected from 5,565 home-visit nursing stations.
Results: We extracted four subscales using an exploratory factor analysis: (a) being well-mannered, (b) acquiring basic knowledge and skills, (c) giving consideration to the patient and their family members, and (d) actually practicing trained concepts in nursing education.
Conclusion: Our findings indicated that nursing education should focus more on developing appropriate bedside manner and that it may be useful to develop tools such as virtual reality simulation to translate and apply new nurses' theoretical knowledge and skills to clinical contexts.
