Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore the perception of online theoretical classes, online clinical practice and clinical practice conducted in hybrid(online/offline) learning of nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The qualitative study was conducted to gain insight into students’ learning experiences. It is also to provide data for teaching and learning methods suitable for the new environment.
 Methods 553 statements were collected from 83 nursing students who experienced both online theoretical classes and clinical practice and offline clinical practice. The collected data were analyzed by the proposed domain analysis by Spradley(1980) and Newing et al.(2011). The meaningful experience or attributes of the statement were selected as the subject. While identifying the subject as a similar concept, the domain was constructed by categorizing statements. By confirming the relationship with the concept, the classification system was composed of major domain, middle domain, and minor domain.
 Results The data analysis results consisted of 6 major domain, 55 middle domain, and 70 minor domain. The major domain of nursing students' perception of online theoretical classes are ‘the harmony between unfamiliarity and recency’ and ‘growing pains of learning alone’. The major domain of nursing students' perception of online clinical practice are ‘diversification of ontact learning’ and ‘insecure learning journey’. The major domain of nursing students' perception of clinical practice are ‘valuing of experience’ and ‘difficulty of field sensitivity’.
 Conclusions Online classes need to be designed to be realistic and stimulate interactions. Learners are required to develop self-management skills and efforts to manage students’ stress levels in clinical practice sessions need to be continued.
