Abstract

This study used Q-methodology to identify subjective types of immersion responses among nursing students in a neonatal simulation based educational environment and explore their characteristics. Regarding the subjects of the research, 35 nursing students at one university were made into the P-samples. And by selecting 34 Q samples from the total of 142 Q-populations. The data were analyzed with the QUANL program. As a result of the research, the 4 types were discovered. They appeared as ‘Empathic, relationship-oriented collaborator’, Focused, achievement-oriented learner’, ‘Challenge-driven, process-oriented learner’, ‘Anxious, preparation-centered passive learner’. Based on these results, this can serve as foundation data for developing learner-centered, customized simulation education strategies in nursing education. In the future, it will be necessary to make efforts to develop and implement various simulation teaching methods that take these learner characteristics into account in nursing education.
