This study aimed to explore the extracurricular activity experience of nursing students who participated in suicide prevention volunteering.
Qualitative research.
This study was conducted at an undergraduate university in Gyeongsan-do, Korea.
Participants in the study were 36 nursing college students who participated in suicide prevention volunteer activities for more than 4 months.

定性研究。
本研究在韩国庆尚北道的一所本科大学进行。
研究参与者为36名护理专业大学生，他们参与自杀预防志愿者活动超过4个月。
通过焦点小组访谈收集数据，并采用内容分析法进行分析。
研究参与者的经历通过四个子主题得以体现，即“提高对自杀问题的敏感度”“增强自杀预防的信心”“对精神科护理产生兴趣”以及“学习实际护理的基本技能”，这些子主题共同构成了“为精神科护理领域的合格护士做好准备”这一主题。
各种课外活动和项目将为护理专业学生提升其基本能力和素质奠定基础，使其在未来职业生涯中更具竞争力。
