Summary
A new problem-based learning (PBL) simulation module was developed to train nursing students in home-visit healthcare. This innovative approach enhances nursing competency and provides practical experience for caring for pre-frail older adults.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Simulation
Background:
- Home-visit healthcare programs in Korea are expanding, yet hands-on training opportunities for nursing students are limited.
- There is a need for effective educational tools to prepare nursing students for home-visit healthcare services, particularly for the growing population of pre-frail older adults.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a problem-based learning (PBL) simulation module for nursing students focused on home-visit healthcare for pre-frail older adults.
- To assess the module's effectiveness in enhancing nursing students' learning experience and competency in this specialized area.
Main Methods:
- A PBL simulation module was developed and refined through expert reviews.
- A mixed-method design was employed, including quantitative data from 29 nursing students and qualitative data from 10 students via focus group interviews.
- Data were collected between April and June 2021, with qualitative data analyzed using inductive content analysis.
Main Results:
- The simulation module achieved high scores on the Simulation Design Scale (4.67 ± 0.36) and Educational Practices Questionnaire (4.75 ± 0.37).
- Focus group interviews revealed three key themes: an immersive learning experience, a shift in students' perspectives on nursing, and improved nursing competency.
Conclusions:
- The PBL-based simulation module is an effective systematic learning process for nursing students.
- It fosters self-directed learning, collaboration, and practical skills development for home-visit services.
- The module successfully prepares nursing students for the complexities of home-visit healthcare for pre-frail older adults.

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

1.3K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
