Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze trends in articles published in the Journal of Korean Society for Simulation in Nursing (KSSN) and to provide future directions for improvement. Method: The study analyzed data collected from 57 research articles published in KSSN between 2013 and 2018. A descriptive analysis was conducted with a focus on frequency and percentage for quantitative data. Results: The proportion of articles on quantitative research was 80.7%, while the proportion of articles on qualitative research was 15.8%. The majority of the quantitative research was focused on experimental study (47.4%). The prevailing data collection settings were school (75.4%), and for the data analysis, descriptive statistics (71.9%), t-test (50.1%), ANOVA (19.3%) and chi-square test (17.5%). The analysis results based on the simulation education research showed that the most frequently used scenario topics were delivery care and postpartum hemorrhage. The most frequently used variables measured were clinical performance (43.8%), problem-solving process (31.3%), self-confidence (31.3%), and self-efficacy (28.1%). Conclusion: Especially in the case of simulation nursing, there is a need to encourage research into utilizing a variety of research methodologies and simulations.
