Students explained self-perceptions (abilities, skills and feeling) before and after home visits process of public health nursing field practice in the end of semester.
Results:The experiences of students before the field practice were grouped under the themes of \"security\", \"concerns about the family process\" and \"feeling insufficient\". The themes “job satisfaction”, “being useful to the families”, and “contribution to personal development” emerged from the data collected after the field practice was completed.
Conclusion:This brief educational intervention allows students to felt useful to the families and the practice contributed to their personal development. It can be improved the readiness of students for home visits with undergraduate programs because nursing students meet “real world”.
