The study aimed to evaluate the learning effect of a home nursing simulation system that utilizes an e-learning system in blended learning; thus, we examined how this system affected nursing students’ reports. The learning goal of this simulation system is to help students visualize the life of a home care patient and understand the importance of assessment in home care nursing.
We qualitatively analyzed five themes in three reports from 19 students. Subsequently, we compared it with the system’s learning objective.
Thus, “life” appeared frequently in all reporting and learning stages. The following were the main categories of descriptions in each report: “Do not miss changes in the home care patient’s lives and respond early,” “Understand lifestyles and values that appear in their lives,” “They live their own lives,” and “Grasp the condition of home care patients in invisible time.” The time series indicated three learning patterns in learning contents.
Moreover, by using the system during the initial learning stage, the students imagined “observing” and “assessing” the patient’s “life.” Additionally, as the learning process progresses, the students may develop it in a complex and specific way.
