본 연구는 간호학생의 간호수행능력 관련요인을 파악하여 간호수행능력 증진을 위한 학부과정의 교육 방안을 마련하는데 기여하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 일 대학 간호학과의 4학년 학생 227명이었다. 대상자의 일반적 특성, 비판적 사고성향, 핵심기본간호술 성취도에 따른 간호수행능력은 independent t-test, pearson’s correlation coefficient를 실시하였고, 간호수행능력에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하기 위해 Linear regression을 시행하였다. 연구결과, 간호학생의 간호수행능력에는 비판적 사고성향의 지적공정성과 핵심기본간호술 난이도 중 및 하의 성취도가 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 모두 점수가 높을수록 간호수행능력이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 간호학생의 지적공정성과 핵심기본간호술 성취도를 높이는 한편 난이도 상의 성취도를 높이는 교육프로그램의 마련이 필요하다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a problem-based simulation education program on nursing student’s academic achievement, academic efficacy, and clinical performance skills. Methods: This study examined a group of nursing students using the pretest-posttest test design. Second year pediatric nursing students studying the practical subject Integrated Simulation at S University in K region were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire before and after using a problem-based simulation education program. In addition to using SPSS/WIN 21.0 for descriptive analysis, the data was analyzed using independent t-test, repeated measures ANOVA and Pearson- correlation. Results: After completing the simulation education program, participants showed statistically higher academic achievement (t = -5.795, p < .001) and clinical performance skills (t = -3.835, p = <.001) than before. However, there was no significant difference in academic efficacy score(t=-.217, p=.829). Conclusion: The results from this study indicate that lessons with various methods and content should be developed to –evaluate both theoretical knowledge and clinical performance skills. In addition, there is a need to develop a standard evaluation.
