Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the use of virtual simulations to improve knowledge, performance, self-efficacy, satisfaction and confidence of nursing students. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with 34 nursing students in one university. All the participants were forth grade students and received education on topics related to medical-surgical nursing. The experimental group participated in virtual and high-fidelity simulations. The control group participated in high-fidelity simulation. Collected data were analyzed using Chi-square, t-test and independent t-test using the WIN SPSS 23.0 program. Results: The experimental group who had participated in the virtual simulation education indicated significantly higher performance scores (t=-6.166, p=<.000) and confidence levels (t=-2.284, p=.031) as compared to the control group who had participated in traditional high-fidelity education for acute heart disease patients, However, the differences in knowledge (t=-.808, p=.425), education satisfaction (t=-.425, p=.653), and self-efficacy (t=-1.592, p=.121) were not significant differences. Conclusion: The results indicate that virtual simulation education is an effective learning method to improve nursing performance and confidence. Further study is needed to identify the effects of various clinical situations of virtual simulation-based care.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate differences in nursing performance of nursing college students following simulator training or video-based training for patients with respiratory distress. Methods: The study used a two-group post-intervention design. The simulator group was trained using a high-fidelity simulator and the video group with a best practices video. Nursing ability was evaluated by video recording participants during a dyspnea simulation exercise. The collected data was analyzed with a t-test using SPSS 21. Results: The simulator group showed lower scores than the video group in the preparation (t = -4.60, p < .001) and nursing intervention (t = -2.41, p = .033) categories. Conclusion: Video training is effective for simulation education in cases of dyspnea.

Purpose: This study aimed to clarify the effects of simulation-based practice using a standardized patient on nursing students’ problem-solving capacity, self-efficacy for therapeutic communications, and confidence in clinical performance. Methods: We adopted a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design. We examined changes in the students’ problem-solving capacity, self-efficacy for therapeutic communications, and confidence in clinical performance before and after simulation-based practice and after clinical practicum. Results: The scores for problem-solving capacity increased from 159.28 before simulation-based practice to 263.02 after it and 161.99 after clinical practicum, but there was no statistical significance(p=.775, p=.339). The scores for self-efficacy for therapeutic communications rose with statistical significance from 120.78 before simulation-based practice to 126.30 after it (p= .017), but fell to 120.52 after clinical practicum. The scores for confidence in clinical performance increased with statistical significance from 54.98 before simulation-based practice to 59.42 after it (p=.008) and 58.50 after clinical practicum (p<.001). Conclusion: We confirmed that simulation-based practice with a standardized patient offers students hands-on experience of a clinical situation and, thereby, enhances their problem-solving capacity, self-efficacy for therapeutic communications, and confidence in clinical performance.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate simulation-based asthma pediatric care among nursing students. Methods: One group post design was utilized. A total of 148 nursing students were recruited as participants. The data were collected from February 22to June10, 2016. Seven hours of simulation-based asthma pediatric care was conducted. Results: The total mean knowledge score for asthma pediatric care was 3.8, and simulation-based performance score was 8.0. In simulation-based performance, the highest mean score was 2.4 for “oxygenation” category and the lowest mean score was 1.5 for “nursing recording.” There was no statistically significant difference in the level of clinical performance using simulation for the upper, middle, and lower groups according to the theoretical knowledge level. Additionally, no statistically significant correlation was found between the theoretical knowledge score and simulation-based clinical performance score. Conclusion: The findings suggest that simulation-based care involving various scenarios and integrated evaluation tools for clinical nursing performance are required to improve asthma pediatric care among nursing students.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to develop a simulation scenario for patients with increased intracranial pressure(IICP) and a simulation education program based on Goal-based Scenario(GBS). Methods: The first stage of this study was to investigate GBS, based on which a simulation scenario was developed using the modified Bay Area Simulation Collaborative scenario template. A team of experts was asked to evaluate the scenario. Results: The simulation education program was creasted, which included educational goals, missions, scenarios, roles, scenario operations, resources, and feedback. The scenarios were analyzed on the basis of 4 algorithm: initial assessment, neurologic assessment, IICP nursing assessmnet, reassessment of IICP signs, and monitoring vital signs. Conclusion: The simulation scenarios developed in this study can provide students with opportunities to practice nursing for patients with IICP, Further, this scenario may provide instructors with a systematic and sustainable simulation education model for an instructor.

Purpose: This research involved a review of studies that examined the effectiveness of simulation-based nursing for clinical nurses in Korea. Methods: This is a methodological study for the identification of the simulation based educational interventions applied to nurses. Existing literature on simulation-based nursing education was searched using KISS, RISS, and Google Scholar electronic data bases and the keywords were “simulation,” “nurse,” “debriefing,” and “effect.” A total of 6 studies were included in the analysis. Results: Identified studies were conducted between 2010 and January 2017. All of the studies were randomized controlled trials(RCT). Scenario subjects were “communication skill,” and “emergency care.” Information about debriefing was largely absent from the studies. Conclusion: The findings suggest that activation of simulation–based nurse education is required. This study proposed that choice of measurement variables considering objectivity is needed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of simulation training using video debriefing on the self-efficacy, problem solving ability, and learning satisfaction of nursing students. Method: The study design was control group pre-and post-test non-synchronized experimental design. The sample included two teams of 138 nursing students. The experimental group provided feedback after the simulation was run, and then the team was debriefed through the video recorded video in the debriefing room, and the control group performed the oral debriefing. This study was conducted from November 10, 2015 to December 10, 2015, using descriptive statistics, χ²-test and t-test. Results: The scores of the self-efficacy, problem- solving process performance, and learning satisfaction were higher than those of the group who received the video debriefing (experimental group) than those who received the oral debriefing training (control group). Conclusion: It has been found that debriefing using video in the simulation training has a positive effect on self-efficacy, ability to perform problem solving process and improvement of learning satisfaction, so it can be utilized as an effective teaching and learning strategy and also helps strengthen nursing capacity.
