ABSTRACT
Purpose: To determine the impact of an educational intervention on student nurse knowledge of and interest in home care careers.
Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design was used among nursing students (N= 108) completing an online module and simulation.
Analysis: T-tests measured knowledge changes and descriptive statistics measured home care career interest.
Findings: Knowledge increased significantly (p=.000) while preferred work setting rankings remained stable with a minimal but potentially impactful increase in home care interest.
Conclusion: More education and research is warranted given home care workforce shortages and the need to imbed home care education into nursing curricula.
