The study aimed to explore the experiences of nursing undergraduates participating in a simulation-centred educational program in hospice care in Macao, China.
This descriptive qualitative study was based on the data collected through semi-structured individual interviews. Seventeen nursing undergraduates in Macao, China who attended the simulation-centred program in hospice care participated in this qualitative from November to December 2020. This program included three parts: introduction to hospice care (2 h), management of terminal symptoms (10 h), and hospice situation simulations (6 h). The interview data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.
