Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a faculty development program for nursing simulation educators. Methods: This study developed one-day education program based on the ADDIE model. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires to investigate learners’ needs and participants’ evaluation of the pilot program. The data were analyzed using EXCEL with descriptive statistics. Results: The participants’ satisfaction with the program showed an overall high level of satisfaction. Two types of faculty development were developed based on the needs assessment. In addition, a review of the existing programs, namely, basic and advanced courses, were conducted based on the learning needs hierarchy. Conclusion: The development and pilot testing of a faculty development program for nursing simulation educators are feasible. Further research should focus on the short- or long-term evaluation of the program using the experimental research design.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to explore the experiences of simulation education to undergraduate nursing students who have defected from North Korea. Methods: Individual in-depth interviews with nine students were conducted using semi-structured interview and open question. Data were collected December 2014 to April 2015 and analyzed using Colaizzi phenomenological method. Results: Three essential themes were extracts that were as follows 1) Confronting another barrier 2) Reflecting on nursing competency through simulation education 3) Beginning of adaptation to the nursing education Conclusion: The results can contribute to an understanding of the simulation education experience of undergraduate nursing students who have defected from North Korea. In addition, these results will provide foundational data in establishing simulation education strategies to improve nursing competency, helping them adapt to nursing education in Korea.

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.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate outcome-based delivery care with simulation in nursing student. Methods: One group pre-post design was utilized. 155 participants consisting of nursing students was recruited. The data were collected from august 25 to december 5, 2015. Five hours thirty minutes of outcome-based delivery care with simulations was operated. Results: The item showing the lowest mean score was ‘verbal communication’, the highest mean score was ‘core basic nursing skills’. Conclusion: The findings suggest that it would be useful to use the outcome-based delivery care with simulation in nursing students.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of communication simulation based on for elderly sensation disorders patient. the elderly population is growing about hearing loss, cataracts on this communication simulation for a nursing student is required. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. A total of 46 subjects (undergraduate students) participated in they were assigned to two groups: the experimental group(n=24) the control group (n=22). Data - gathering structured questionnaires that included communication competence, academic self-efficacy, and attitude about the elderly. The data were collected and statistical analyses were conducted with x2 test and independent t-test using the SPSS 22.0 program. Results: there was significant improvement in communication competence in the experiment group (t=2.05, =.046) and attitude about the elderly (t=-2.26, p=.033). However, there was no statistically no significant in academic self-efficacy(t=1.17, p=.247) Conclusion: communication Simulation should continue to be developed further for better sensation disorders with elderly patient. Integrated education in particular using a high-fidelity simulator will contribute to improvement in nursing competence.
