Abstract

Purpose
This study aimed to identify the educational needs of nurses and nursing students for the development of a simulation module of home visiting care for frail, elderly people.
Methods
Focus group interviews were conducted with 15 home visiting nurses working in public health centers and 14 nursing students who experienced home visiting from September 10 to October 10, 2018.
Results
Bloom’s taxonomy of learning objectives, namely, cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains was used as a framework for data analysis. The defined educational needs for each domain were as follows: “understanding frail, elderly people” for the cognitive domain; “intervention for mental health” and “building a therapeutic relationship” for the affective domain; and “nursing skills”, “health education for healthy lifestyles”, “referral to the community resource connection”, “protection for visiting nurses” for the psychomotor domain.
Conclusion
Based on the findings of this study, a simulation module of home visiting care for frail, elderly people can be developed and used for nursing students and nurses to strengthen the capacity for home visiting care.
