The purpose of this study is to determine the perceptions of nursing students regarding the concept of blended education with the help of metaphors during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The study was conducted with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year nursing students (n=593, n=331) studying at Selcuk University Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing between March 1 and April 30, 2022. The data was collected using the quot;Metaphorical Perceptions Data Collectionquot; tool. The obtained metaphors were examined in terms of similarities and combined under two categories as quot;Academic dimensionquot; and quot;Psychosocial dimensionquot;. The metaphors frequently used by students regarding the concept of blended education were gathered around two main themes: the academic and the psychosocial dimension.
