〔Objective〕To examine the learning outcomes of nursing students through their reflections on a class conducted using 360-degree images depicting the home care environment of ALS patients and clarify their usefulness.

〔Method〕Qualitative inductive analysis was performed on students’ reflections regarding the 360-degree image-based class.

〔Results〕Reflections from 80 students were analyzed, resulting in 121 codes. Five main categories and 15 subcategories were extracted from the analysis: [Increased motivation to learn based on experiential understanding], [Learning that enhances understanding of the care environment], [Insights into patient and family perspectives], [Nursing professional perspectives and insights], and [Enhanced interest and learning through group work].

〔Conclusions〕The class utilizing 360-degree images enhanced nursing students’ motivation to learn. It shifted their perspectives from viewing the care environment and patient experiences to adopting a nursing professional viewpoint, suggesting the potential to cultivate insights as future nursing professionals.
