Abstract:
The Preventive Home Visit Practicum is a nursing training program where students, grouped in teams of four or five (comprising a freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior), regularly visit a community-dwelling older adult. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the practicum was conducted with various infection control measures, and alternative activities were attempted when home visits were suspended. The experience of responding to the pandemic highlighted the importance of this practicum, which transcends the school year and underscores the necessity of cooperation of the community.
