Abstract

"Basic Nursing" is fundamental in nursing education. Due to limited lab hours, the open laboratory model enhances skill development. This study explores nursing students' needs in this setting through semi-structured interviews with 10 students, analyzed via Colaizzi's method. In terms of laboratory management, nursing undergraduates had the needs of optimizing personnel arrangement, increasing opening hours, timely updating and supplementing equipment and materials, and information management. In terms of skill practice, there is a need for standardization, improving simulation authenticity and providing technical guidance; In terms of feedback, there is a need for post-practice feedback and communication channels. The needs of nursing undergraduates for open laboratory personnel, opening hours, use management, high simulation models and technical support, feedback and communication channels, and auxiliary teaching platforms need to be further met. It is suggested to start from the aspects of optimizing the laboratory management system, developing information management, optimizing instruments and equipment, and actively meet their skill practice needs to help them improve their professional skills.
