The samples consisted of 64, 2nd-year nursing students studying at Phrapokklao Nursing College, Chanthaburi in academic year of 2016. The research instruments included a practicum preparation program by using a concept mapping for case analysis, an assessment form of abilities in utilizing a nursing process with the reliability of .95, and a questionnaire of satisfaction toward practicum preparation program with the reliability of .97. The implementation and data collection were conducted from April 24 to May 22, 2017. Statistics used for data analysis included frequency, percentage, and paired <em>t</em>-test.</p><p>The research results revealed that after receiving the practicum preparation program by using a concept mapping for case analysis, the nursing students had statistically significant higher mean score of abilities in utilizing a nursing process than before receiving the program (<em>t</em> = 11.670, <em>p</em> &lt; .001), and it was found that the nursing students had the overall mean score of satisfaction at a high level (<em>M</em> = 4.33, <em>SD</em> = .38).</p><p>This research suggests that nursing instructors should prepare their nursing students before practicum in both clinical and community contexts by using a concept mapping for case analysis in order to enhance abilities in utilizing a nursing process.</p> ER -
