| Sumario: | Objectives: Although home‐visit healthcare programs in Korea are expected to expand, providing hands‐on experience to nursing students may be limited. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a problem‐based learning (PBL) simulation module that reflects home‐visit healthcare services provided by public health centers for pre‐frail older adults. Design and Sample: The simulation module, including PBL as prebriefing, was developed by the researchers and revised based on expert reviews. The module was evaluated using a mixed‐method embedded one‐group post‐test‐only design with focus group interviews (FGIs). Quantitative data (n = 29) were collected between April and June, 2021. FGIs (n = 10) were conducted twice in June 2021, and qualitative data were analyzed using an inductive content analysis approach. Results: The average score of the Simulation Design Scale was 4.67 ± 0.36. The overall mean score of the Educational Practices Questionnaire was 4.75 ± 0.37. Three themes emerged from the FGIs: immersive learning experience, changes in perspective on nursing, and enhanced nursing competency. Conclusion: This PBL‐based simulation module was evaluated as a systematic learning process in which nursing students could become self‐directed learners, interacting and collaborating with colleagues, instructors, and environments. The module encourages them to practice home visit services.
