Students' Opinions and Effective Methods of Using Online Systems in Home-Visit Nursing Practice

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to clarify nursing students' opinions on the use of online system in home care nursing practice. Forty-eight third-year nursing students from University A in 2021 were surveyed using a questionnaire. The question items were on the orientation and final conference held by the visiting nursing station and learning the actual practice of home care nursing. As a result, the students emphasized the importance of being able to ask and answer questions and exchange opinions among instructors and students. Regarding the orientation and final conference, most of them agreed that this could be done online as well. On the other hand, opinions were divided among the students regarding the actual practice of home nursing. If done online, technical trainings need to be organized. The home care nursing practice could increase the breadth and depth of student learning by utilizing online as well as on-site.
