Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore and analyze the experiences of nursing students in performing family health education as part of the non-face-to-face community nursing practice. Methods This study is a qualitative study analyzing the practical reflection journals written by the participants. The study participants understood the purpose of this study and agreed to participate among third-year students who completed non-face-to-face community nursing practice at the Department of Nursing at a university in Jeollabuk-do from June 8 to July 17, 2020 and wrote a reflection journal. There are 26 people. The collected data were analyzed by the analysis method suggested by Colaizzi. Results Nursing students' experience of performing family health education was derived from 13 themes and 5 theme clusters. The five thema clusters are ‘Time for warm-hearted understanding’, ‘Not easy preparation process’, ‘Taste of educational achievement’, ‘Greater health education competency’, and ‘Being a community nurse’. Conclusions As a result of this study, nursing students had a warm-hearted understanding with their family through family health education, experienced a sense of educational achievement through a difficult preparation process, increased health education competency, and had a positive experience of growing up as a community nurse. Based on this, it is expected that family health education will be actively applied in the field of community nursing education in the future.
