Purpose: This study aimed to development and test the effects of patient safety/infection control simulation program based on a brain-based learning framework for nursing students. Methods: This pilot study used a one group pre-post test design. The study was conducted in one university in Korea. Participants were recruited using a convenience sample. Fifteen nursing students participated in this study. Results: The levels of perception of importance of patient safety management (Z=3.41, p=.001), confidence on patient safety (Z=3.30, p=.001), attitude toward personal protective equipment (Z=3.10, p=.002), and efficacy of personal protective equipment (Z=3.35, p=.001) were significantly increased. Conclusion: The application of brain-based learning framework in nursing simulation could be an effective education for nursing students.

Purpose: In this study, we developed an integrated simulation practicum and investigated the effectiveness of the practicum for senior nursing students. Methods: Sixty-seven senior nursing students from a university were enrolled in this study and assigned into two groups: experimental (n = 31) and control (n = 36). We developed and applied a 60-hour integrated simulation practicum that spans a 3-week period. The control group performed a traditional clinical practicum. The outcome measures were critical thinking disposition, clinical competence, and practicum satisfaction and the data were analyzed using the SPSS 23.0 software. Results: After the intervention, both experimental and control groups showed significant improvement in critical thinking disposition (p = .017) and clinical competence (p < .001) compared to those of the baseline. Regarding practicum satisfaction, the experimental group showed significantly higher satisfaction than the control group (p = .003). Conclusion: The integrated simulation practicum was an effective program that improved critical thinking, clinical competence, and practicum satisfaction in senior nursing students. To effectively improve critical thinking and acquire clinical competence, which are essential for prospective nurses, nursing students should be exposed more to simulation practicum that reflect environments similar to actual clinical settings for various patients with complex health problems.

Nursing ethics, which is an ethical norm of nursing practice, is basic to the professionalism of nurses, and ethical education is important in building the professional virtues. The study aimed to identify the needs of nursing ethics education targeting a group of nursing professionals in South Korea. This study adopted descriptive survey design via online survey. The questionnaire items consisted of the experience of ethical issues and the needs related to the subject of ethics education in nursing. 53 questionnaires were finally analyzed by descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients. The results showed that 40 of the study participants had more than 5 years of total clinical experience(69.8%). 48 of them previously participated in nursing ethics education(90.6%). The most frequently experienced ethical issues were ‘conflicts between colleagues’, ‘protecting of patient rights’ and ‘informed consent’. In relation to nursing ethics education, ‘ethical decision making and moral distress’, ‘shared decision making’ and ‘end-of-life care’ showed high needs for education. Overall, the higher the level of experience on ethical issues, the more educational needs for nursing ethics education(r=.360, p<.01). In addition, satisfaction with previous nursing ethics education was statistically significant positive correlation with the needs for the overall nursing ethics education topic(p.<01). In conclusion, the high level of experience on ethical issues shows the demands for continuity of ethical education and systematic improvement to improve the working environment of clinical nurses, and to meet the needs of nursing ethics education, a venue for discussion and education using case-based method should be provided.

본 연구는 심폐소생술 교육경험이 있는 간호대학생의 심폐소생술의 지식과 수행능력을 파악하 고 이들 간의 관계를 탐색하기 위한 서술적 상관관계 연구로 수행되었다. 연구 참여자는 2018년 10월 18 일부터 10월 30일까지 G광역시에 소재한 2개 대학교 간호학과 4학년에 재학 중인 간호대학생 204명을 대 상으로 하였다. 수집된 자료는 IBM SPSS Win 21.0 version Program을 이용하였다. 심폐소생술 지식과 심 폐소생술 수행능력은 양의 상관관계(r=.22, p=.01)로, 심폐소생술 지식이 높을수록 심폐소생술 수행능력이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 G광역시 2개 대학의 간호학과 학생들을 편의 추출하였으므로 본 연구 결과를 일반화하는데 제한이 있을 수 있어 추후 대상자의 지역적 확대를 통한 반복 연구가 필요하며, 심폐소생술 수행능력의 측정이 수행능력 전체를 관찰하여 측정하는 직접 측정이 아니라 자가보고식 간접 측정으로 이루어져 대 상자의 주관이 반영되며, 교육의 효과가 객관적으로 측정되지 않았을 우려가 있다. 그러므로 심폐소생술 수행능력의 직접 측정 도구를 사용한 추후 연구가 필요하다.

본 연구의 목적은 간호대학생이 임상실습 기간 동안 경험하는 감정노동과 임상실습 스트레스 간의 관계를 규명하는 것이다. 아울러 간호대학생들이 실습교육과정에서 겪게 되는 감정노동 및 스트레스를 경감시키고 관리할 수 있는 프로그램 마련을 돕는 것이다. 즉 임상실습 스트레스와 감정노동을 경감시킬 수 있는 교육 프로그램을 개발하는 데 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 본 연구는 서울지역 A 대학의 간호대 학생 170명을 대상으로 진행되었으며, 감정노동과 임상실습 스트레스에 관한 내용으로 설문조사를 실시 하였다. 연구결과, 간호대학생은 임상실습 기간에 높은 스트레스를 경험하고, 감정노동을 강하게 경험하 는 것으로 나타났으며, 감정노동과 임상실습 스트레스 간에는 유의미한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났 다. 이 같은 연구결과를 토대로 본 연구는 간호대학생 대상의 ‘감정노동･임상실습스트레스 관리 프로그램’이 조속히 도입되어야 한다고 주장한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review the studies that included simulation based learning for nursing students in Korea. Methods: We searched for published and unpublished researches using electronic Korean database such as RISS, KISTI/NDSL, the National Library of Korea, KERIS, KISS, DBpia, Hakjisa, and Google scholar. The term for nursing, simulation, and scenario were entered as key words. Result: Total 42 studies were included and categorized in final. The major subject of simulation based learning was adult nursing for 3rd and 4th grade nursing students using high fidelity simulators. For applying the simulation based learning, 3-6 students were designated as a team. The most evaluation components were knowledge, clinical performance and satisfaction on simulation based learning. Conclusion: The results provide that the main theme or scenarios for simulation based learning in nursing students were varied and detailed according to clinical situation. However, the qualification for instructors should be reported in studies for simulation based leaning in nursing.
