Purpose: This study was to develop a clinical competence scale to assess competence of nursing students in neonatal core nursing management after delivery in the simulation-based clinical situations. Methods: The assessment items developed with 14 items of 3 point scale. An expert panel of 4 professor and 1 nurse reviewed the scale for content validity by using the CVI(Content Validity Index). Following the establishment of content validity, 14 items of the checklist were developed. The simulation-based neonatal core nursing education that consisted of four sessions for 6 hours lecture and practice was provided to 26 small groups. Result: The total mean score of clinical competence in neonatal core nursing care was 20.04. Items with the highest mean score was 1.87 with 'apply clean gloves'. Items with lowest mean score was 1.15 with 'perform the body temperature management to the neonatal'. Reliability of between two evaluation using Cronbach's alpha was .86. Conclusion: This results show neonatal core nursing care assessment tool developed this study had reliability and validity. Further studies are needed to determine property of tool in neonatal core nursing care assessment tool.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify instructor’s experience on debriefing of nursing simulation education Methods: The participants were nine instructors in simulation-based nursing education. Data were collected from May, 2015 to June, 2015, through in-depth interviews and were analyzed on the basis of Colaizzi’s phenomenological methodology. Results: Three essential themes were extracts that were as follows 1) Instructors’ reflection on their teaching of debriefing in education 2) Determining the effects of debriefing in the simulation-based nursing education 3) Devoting one’s efforts for successful debriefing Conclusion: Debriefing is built on instructors’ reflection of how the debriefing process can be applied in simulation-based nursing education; this process can provide a practical understanding of nursing students, educational contents, and educational environments. Successful debriefing for enhanced nursing competency requires instructors’ effects to identify and deal with educational problems by reflecting on their teaching experience.

Purpose: this study was to investigate the correlation between sleep, self-efficacy and intuition among nursing students. Methods: data were obtained from 144 nursing students with 3rd and 4th during Oct and Dec, 2008. Data were collected using by several measurement tools which were Oh's Korean Sleep scale A, Sherer's General Self-efficacy scale, and Smith Intuition instrument. Results: the results showed that there was difference between the grade and self-efficacy, difference between religion and sleep, between religion and self-efficacy, and between perceived health status and sleep. The correlation between sleep and self-efficacy was positive correlation. Conclusion: it has to develop the nursing intervention program to improve sleep and self-efficacy for nursing students. And then, nursing students will have the competence to reduce stress and anxiety about clinical practicum and overload of studying. For further research, it should to study the relationship between sleep, self-efficacy and intuition among nurses.

Purpose: This study sheds light on the learning experiences of simulation-based education in nursing, through a comparative analysis with clinical practice experiences. Methods: Participants were six nursing students who underwent simulation-based nursing education. In-depth focused individual interviews were conducted, and themes were extracted from the data through content analysis. Results: Two essential themes were extracted: 1) shift from being an observer to being active participants and 2) shift from unidimensional to multi-dimensional problem solving. Conclusion: These results indicate that simulation-based education was effective in enhancing learning attitude and problem-solving skills. These results can also guide nurse educators regarding the conditions under which simulation environments are more effective

Purpose: The purpose of this study were to compare the satisfaction in major and work value among the each grade of college nursing students. Methods: This study adopted the descriptive comparative design, Subjects were 225 students from two nursing schools in the Seoul city. The instruments used for this study were a self-report questionnaire. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, one way ANOVA, Duncan post-hoc test, and Pearson correlation coefficient using the SPSS WIN 18.0 program. Results: There were significant differences in major satisfaction and especially, senior students showed the lowest score. There were no significant differences in the work value among the grades. The major satisfaction was correlated significantly with the work value. It showed that higher major satisfaction, more positive work value. Conclusion: Based on the results, major satisfaction had significant correlations with the work value among the students. Which proves that the scores of major satisfaction has its effects on the students’ values of the profession. Therefore, new education system using various learning strategies such as simulation and team-based learning is must needed for each grade in order for students to gain satisfaction in their major, which will improve the nature of future nursing environment and their working values.
