The purpose of this study was to identify the factors related to the problem-solving ability of nursing students who experienced simulation training. Methods: A descriptive survey study was performed using a structured questionnaires consisting of a learning flow state scale, nursing student’s anxiety and self-confidence with clinical decision making scale, simulation design scale, and problem-solving ability scale. Data were collected from 154 nursing students in five nursing schools located in D city and G province. Data were analyzed by frequencies, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression with IBM SPSS Statistics 19.0. Results: The significant factors associated to the problem-solving ability of nursing students who experienced simulation training were simulation design characteristics (β=.34, p<.001), learning flow (β=.25, p=.001), and self-confidence with clinical decision making (β=.23, p=.001). These factors explained 46.5% of problem-solving ability. Conclusion: To improve the problem-solving ability of nursing students, the simulation module should be designed with high fidelity.

The purpose of this study was to develop a nursing education program using Web-based simulation for the care of patients with intracranial pressure. An additional aim was to verify the effectiveness of nursing knowledge, problem-solving competency, a critical thinking disposition, and the expectation of learning transfer. Methods: This was an experimental study using repeated measures with a nonequivalent control group. The participants were senior nursing students, randomly assigned to experimental (n=30) and control (n=30) groups.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore nursing simulation training needs and the educational environment of instructors. Method: This study was conducted according to the inductive method of qualitative content analysis. An online focus group interview was conducted with six instructors with experience operating a nursing simulation. Data were collected in July 2021. Results: First, “nursing simulation practice operations” required simulation design elements, practical operations, and curriculum integration. Second, the “educational environment” showed a lack of human and physical resources, and there was a need for standard education reflecting the domestic nursing education environment. Third, for “instructor competencies”, the facilitator role, step-by-step education for strengthening instructor competencies, and cooperation with clinical experts were derived. Fourth, it was found that “learner competencies” should meet the nursing professionals’ needs; self-directed learning competency and unique human competency should also be strengthened. Conclusion: This study is meaningful because it seeks to understand the instructor’s needs for nursing simulation training and the educational environment. Moreover, it identifies considerations for instructor and learner competencies in the nursing simulation operator training programs.

Most fishing vessels are less than 100 m in length (LBP), which is not mandatory for the IMO standards for ship maneuverability. Therefore, research on estimating the maneuverability of fishing vessel hull shapes are somewhat lacking compared to that of merchant ship hull shapes, and at the design stage, the numerical simulation method developed for merchant ships are applied without modification to estimate the maneuverability. Since this can cause estimation errors, the authors have derived a modified empirical formula that can improve the accuracy of estimating the maneuverability of fishing vessels in a previous study. In this study, using the modified empirical formula, the IMO maneuverability evaluation items, the turning motion test and Z-test simulations were performed on the fisheries training vessel BAEK-KYUNG and compared with the sea trial test result to verify the validity of the modified empirical formula. In conclusion, the modified empirical formula was able to estimate quantitatively and qualitatively similar to the result of the sea trial test. Such a study on estimating the maneuverability of fishing vessels will be a good indicator for fishing vessel operators and will help them analyze marine accidents.

Purpose: This study attempted to enhance the nurses’ safety competence in administering medications by using simulation training focused on high-alert medication. Method: A total of 30 nurses from 14 teams participated in the simulation training using a high-fidelity patient simulator. Medication administration performance and built-in error recovery was observed using a medication administration safety assessment checklist. Medication safety knowledge and confidence were measured before and after simulation training. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired t-test. Results: There were numerous variations in safe medication administration. The safety behavior by oral prescription was insufficient compared to that by routine medication prescription. Following simulation training, knowledge of medication safety increased significantly, but confidence did not. Conclusion: Nurse educators may consider simulation to be an effective strategy for enhancing nurses’ medication safety competence.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore and analyze the education experiences of nursing graduate students in training simulation educators. Methods: Data were collected using a focus group method with a total of 13 nursing graduate students who ever participated in simulation education for nursing college students. Results: Four theme clusters and 15 sub-themes were emerged through qualitative content analysis. The core theme was “Flapping wings as a novice simulation educator”. The four theme clusters include ‘Confronting myself where expectations and worries coexist’, ‘Experience a new world untrained in the hospital’, ‘Limitation of simulation hard to reach the reality’, ‘Way to become an expert in simulation education’. Conclusion: Nursing graduate students found that the experiences of novice learners as a simulation educator was rewarding and helpful in increasing their self-confidence prior to being placed in an educational setting. Creating a simulation experience for college students could be a daunting task for educators in nursing. Therefore, continued and sustainable efforts are mandated by developing the curriculum for training simulation educators.

Purpose: This study aims to understand and describe in-depth the meaning of evidence-based simulation training education experience of nursing students. Method: This is a qualitative study employing a phenomenological approach. Data were collected from eight seniors in Changshin university in Changwon, from November to December, 2019. The analysis was based on the method proposed by Giorgi. Results: A total of 4 components and 12 sub-components were derived from the analysis. The evidence-based simulation training education experience of nursing students was found to be “burdening Because of the new teaching method,” “immersive,” “an experience of a new field of learning,” and “improving the nursing capacity.” Conclusion: Conclusion: Although the simulation training education burdened participants because of new teaching methods, it is expected to contribute to overcoming the limitations of educational effects in clinical practice and enhance practical clinical performance. Evidence-based simulation training education provides an opportunity to decide rationally by considering the best scientific evidence, clinical expertise, patient values and preferences, and available resources. In the furture, improvement in evidencebased nursing practice is expected.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of learner-directed debriefing based on the clinical judgement model (LDCJM) on nursing students’ critical thinking disposition, selfdirected learning, problem-solving ability, and debriefing experience after simulation. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with 38 sophomore nursing students from one university. They were divided into an experimental group (n=20) and a control group (n=18). Collected data were analyzed by the Chi-square, the Mann-Whitney U-test, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test using the WIN SPSS 22.0 program. Results: The experimental group that had participated in the LDCJM indicated significantly higher self-directed learning (U=23.50, p<.001), problem-solving ability (U=94.50 p=.011), and debriefing experience (U=87.00, p=.006) when compared to the control group. Conclusion: The results indicate that LDCJM is an effective learning strategy to improve self-directed learning, problem-solving ability, and debriefing experience. Further study is needed to identify the effects of various debriefing skills.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between self-efficacy in communication, flow, and nursing students’ competence in communication, and examined the effect of self-efficacy on communication, and the effect of flow on competence in communication.

In accordance with the stipulations of the STCW Convention, simulation training has been enforced in order to develop practical skills so as to prevent accidents by predetermining the risks in special marine environments. Simulation training is a useful way to acquire navigation abilities, and can continuously measure the ability of a trainee by applying an appropriate evaluation. However, the result of training is evaluated by the instructor's subjective judgment without quantitative criteria. Therefore, this study aims to quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of simulation training. For this purpose, evaluation items were derived by analyzing legal standards, earlier studies, and the current status of MET institutions. The simulations were then performed three times in the same scenarios and analyzed the results. As a result, it has been shown that the objectively analyzed ability to keep the route and to make safe passage with other vessel, as well as subjectively evaluated ability by the apprentice officer has been improved as training progressed. Through the evaluation of simulation training results, it can be derived that simulation education needs supplementation, and can be provided as a basic form of data to quantify the evaluation results of the simulation training in the future.

The control group (n=36) received only lectures without simulation. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and t-test with SPSS program. Results: The participants in the experimental group reported significantly lower death and dying 13.14±1.50 (t=7.19, p<.001), conflict with physicians 7.06±2.51 (t=5.82, p<.001), inadequate preparation 6.16±4.17 (t=4.49, p<.001), problems with peers 13.33±7.05 (t=4.09, p<.001), problem relating to the supervisor 13.51±4.03 (t=2.09, p=.030), workload 17.08±6.19 (t=5.76, p<.001), uncertainty concerning treatment 12.13±6.45 (t=2.21, p=.020), patients and their families 16.37±6.38 (t=3.34, p<.001), discrimination 5.66±2.79 (t=2.39, p=.013) and higher clinical performance ability (t=5.14, p<.001) compared with the control group. Conclusion: This suggests that simulation-based training for cardio-pulmonary emergencycare for nurses at general wards is useful to decrease nursing stress and improve clinical competency.

Purpose: This study evaluates the clinical judgment levels of nursing school students in simulation practice of diabetic ketoacidosis and score differences in clinical judgment levels based on academic record grades. Methods: The clinical judgment levels of 149 nursing students (3rd grade) who received a lecture on simulation practice for diabetic ketoacidosis simulation were evaluated during the period from March 3 to June 20, 2014. Data were collected and measured for the general characteristics, clinical judgment levels of nursing students in simulation of diabetic ketoacidosis, and difference in scores of clinical judgment levels according to grades. Results: Clinical judgment levels of these test participants was 2.82 points on average out of a full score of 4 points, and it was represented in the order of noticing (3.01), interpretation (2.86), response (2.79), and reflection (2.60) for each area. In addition, score differences in clinical judgment levels based on academic record grades were significantly higher in the upper ranks than in the lower ranks in all the areas. Conclusion: In simulation practice of this study, through observation by rubric education method, an objective recognition could be assessed and the importance of nursing knowledge was implied.

In this study, a survey was conducted among students who received ARPA/radar simulation training in order to verify the effect of training. An effective training method based on the analysis results was also proposed. Furthermore, this study analyzed full mission simulation conducted over one semester, and found that training effect increased as time passed. The survey showed improvement in skills related to radar/ARPA utilization, ARPA decoding, ship handling, and overall skill. Students responded practical skills improved more than theoretical knowledge, and also analysis showed that ship handling skills had a larger effect than radar decoding skills on improving overall skill, therefore proposed that theoretical education regarding the functions of radar and ARPA should be reinforced in ARPA/radar simulation training.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify effect of visiting nursing simulationbased training for community nursing. Methods: Participants for this study were 56 nursing college students in Busan. Data were collected and measured for the general characteristics, students’ responses regarding simulation experience, students’ self-assessment, self-confidence, and problem solving ability. Results: In nursing college students, the scenario experience in community - based nursing simulation training was the most lacking communication area with the subject, so it was necessary to supplement it. The experience of the visiting nursing simulation scenario showed satisfactory results in all areas. The confidence of the nursing college students after learning the simulation training was 7.6 points out of ten. As a result of comparing the degree of problem solving ability before and after the simulation training, the degree of problem solving ability of the nursing college students after the training was increased compared to before the simulation training. Conclusion: Simulation training before clinical practice contributes to improvement of nursing assessment, performance, confidence and problem solving ability. Through simulation training, students will be able to provide qualitative nursing care and coping with problems from an integrated perspective.
