Abstract
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to explore experiences of simulation for maternal and child nursing in male nursing students in Korea. MethodTwo human patient simulators, a pregnant woman underwent emergency childbirth and a premature newborn infant, were developed. After 14 male students completed simulation, data were collected through interviews and analyzed by Colaizzi's phenomenological analysis. ResultsEducational, professional, and personal dimensions emerged from 5 theme clusters under which 11 themes were classified. Five theme clusters included vicarious role-training experiences, machine–human interaction, gender segregation at work, life-stage challenge to fatherhood, and development of future roles. ConclusionSimulation for maternal and child nursing provided male nursing students with a viable alternative to clinical practicum.
