Purpose: This study developed an interprofessional education (IPE) program for elderly care, and analyzed its effect on healthcare college students. Method: The study was designed using a quasi-experimental method (single group, before and after). The participants were 60 students in the nursing, physical therapy, and biomedical engineering departments.Data were collected using a two-section self-reported questionnaire, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired t-test using SPSS/WIN Statistics version 23.0. Results: Students’ interprofessional attitudes and readiness for IPE learning scores were significantly high. Conclusion: We established that an IPE program can effectively increase interprofessional attitudes and readiness for IPE learning among nursing, physical therapy, and biomedical engineering students.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a web-based video program related to abnormal mental disorder behaviors in standardized patients and verify its effectiveness for nursing students. Methods: This study consisted of pre-test and post-test for a non-equivalent control group design. The participants were 46 nursing students(experimental group: 23, control group: 23). The experimental group was trained in a video program that applied standardized patients, while the control group received traditional training. Data collected from March to June, 2020, were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 25.0, chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney U test, and independent t-test. Results: The difference between the experimental and control groups was statistically significant in terms of learning satisfaction (Z=2.08, p=.038), learning self-efficacy(t=2.80, p=.009), motivation for transfer(t=3.45, p=.001), and clinical reasoning competence(t=2.28, p=.028). Conclusion: This study showed that a video program on abnormal mental disorder behaviors in standardized patients is an effective tool for mental health nursing education.

Purpose: This study examined the effect of the blended learning method during self-practice of transfusion therapy on nursing students’ academic achievement in transfusion therapy, confidence in performing transfusion therapy, self-directed learning ability, and satisfaction with self-practice. Methods: The study design was a non-equivalent control group pretestposttest quasi-experimental design. The participants were 75 nursing students divided into two groups: 38 in the experiment group and 37 in the control group. The blended learning method, combined with face-to-face and online learning, was applied to the experimental group’s self-practice from October 12 to 30, 2020. For the control group’s self-practice, face-to-face learning without online learning was employed. Results: The experimental group showed significantly better academic achievement than the control group. There were no significant differences in confidence in performance, self-directed learning ability, and satisfaction with self-practice between the two groups. Conclusion: This study showed that the blended learning method combined with face-to-face learning and online learning in self-practice significantly affected academic achievement. Further studies are needed to identify effective online learning methods for nursing practice.

Purpose: This study developed an educational program for structured discussion-based learning, problem-based learning (PBL), and simulation for nursing students. Its effects on learning attitude, problem-solving process, and clinical competence were then analyzed. Methods: This study used a one-group pretest–posttest experimental method among 135 fourth-year nursing students taking the simulation course at a university in D city. We operated the PBL by applying the structured discussion method and simulation education based on four modules covering major diseases among adults. The data collected before and after the program were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests. Results: The program significantly improved nursing students’ learning attitude, problem-solving process, and clinical competence. Conclusions: We verified the effects of the simulation education program for structured discussion-based learning and PBL. Further studies are needed to develop and apply simulation educational programs utilizing various devices that can improve learners’ participation and professors’ operational protocols by systematically combining them with different teaching/learning methods.

Purpose: This study aimed to understand the effect of extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) preparation education implemented with smart glasses in augmented reality on the performance ability, performance confidence, and educational satisfaction of clinical nurses. Method: The participants were clinical nurses at B hospital—27 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. The measurement tools were performance ability (24 items), performance confidence (11 items), and educational satisfaction (9 items). The experimental group intervention used augmented reality with smart glasses, and the control group used video resources. The collected data were analyzed by t-test, x2-test, and ANCOVA using the SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 25.0. Results: The performance was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (F = 104.83, p < .001). Performance confidence was considerably higher in the experimental group than in the control group (F = 2.09, p = .041). Finally, educational satisfaction was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (F = 4.52, p < .001). Conclusion: It was confirmed that ECMO education implementing augmented reality with smart glasses is an effective method for improving performance ability, performance confidence, and educational satisfaction among clinical nurses.

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of major satisfaction, academic self-efficacy, and clinical practice stress on college student burnout among nursing students. Methods: Data were collected from October 2019 to January 2020. The data were collected from third and fourth-grade nursing students enrolled at different universities in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheong-do, and Gangwon-do. A total of 270 questionnaires were used for data analysis. Multiple regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors affecting college student burnout. Results: The major satisfaction total score was 65.25(±12.64). The academic selfefficacy total score was 86.56(±13.39). The total clinical practice stress score was 72.93(±11.88). The total score for burnout among college students was 53.73(±14.75). The explanatory power of major satisfaction, academic self-efficacy, and clinical practice stress for college student burnout was 51.3%. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop and apply an educational program to improve major satisfaction and academic self-efficacy, and lower clinical practice stress to reduce college student burnout among nursing students. Thus, education should be actively applied using simulations.

Purpose: Personal protective equipment (PPE) is critical for protecting healthcare workers from COVID-19 outbreaks. Therefore, this study examined the effects of a nursing simulation education program on PPE use for COVID-19 among nursing students. Methods: We employed a non-equivalent control group post-test design. The experimental group (n=38) engaged in a nursing simulation education program on PPE use. The control group (n=36) received PPE and the opportunity to participate in the same program after the intervention. Further, data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent t-test. Results: The experimental group showed significant differences in attitude toward PPE (t=3.21, p=.002) and efficacy of PPE use (t=9.92, p<.001), but not in the intention to care for patients with COVID-19 (t=0.95, p=.343). Conclusion: Nursing simulation education for PPE significantly improved attitude and increased self-efficacy toward PPE among nursing students. However, the intention to care for COVID-19 patients was not changed. Thus, it is necessary to find a way to improve the nursing intention toward COVID-19 patients.
