Purpose: This study examined the effects of simulation-mixed maternity nursing practicum on learning attitude, learning satisfaction and clinical practice performance in nursing students. Methods: One group, pre-post design, was utilized with 64 students. The simulation-mixed maternity nursing practicum consisted of intrapartum and postpartum care. Results: The learning attitude and learning satisfaction scores in maternity nursing care showed a significant change in the post-test (t=-5.92, p <.001, t=-7.35, p <.001) and enhanced clinical practice performance. Conclusion: The simulation-mixed maternity nursing practicum was useful in improving the learning attitude and learning satisfaction and clinical practice performance for maternity nursing practicum in nursing students. In conclusion, We recommend for simulation-mixed maternity nursing practicum to increase clinical practice performance of the students.
