Learning About Conflict and Conflict Management Through Drama in Nursing Education.

Method: A qualitative analysis of 43 written group assignments was undertaken using a content analysis approach.

Nursing students experiences of learning about nursing through drama.

A shift in nursing education from traditional classroom teaching towards more experiential approaches should be encouraged as this will support learning that links theory with practice. The aim of this study was to describe nursing students' experiences of learning about nursing through drama.
