This study aimed to investigate the impact of implementing team-based learning (TBL) in postpartum nursing simulation practical education for nursing college students. Methods: The study design was a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. 128 nursing students divided into two groups: 61 in the experiment group and 67 in the control group. During the winter break in January 2023, students participating in simulation practicals were assigned to the control group, while students participating in simulation practicals during the regular semester (April 2023) were assigned to the experimental group, to prevent crossontamination between the groups due to experimental treatment. Both groups completed selfdministered questionnaires to assess self-directed learning abilities, collaborative self-efficacy, academic achievement, and learning satisfaction. Results: The experimental group showed significantly better compared to the control group, the experimental group showed higher levels of academic achievement and learning satisfaction. Conclusion: It was evident that TBL applied to postpartum nursing simulation practical education is a pedagogical teaching strategy that enhances academic achievement and learning satisfaction. It is necessary to develop and apply team-based simulation practical education not only for challenging obstetric cases but also for labor and delivery nursing, antepartum nursing, and other related areas in clinical practice.

Purpose: This study aimed to perform an integrated literature review to identify evidence for developing a problem-based learning (PBL) method based on a simulation education program for nursing students. Methods: In May 2022, 10 electronic databases were used to conduct a literature search using the keywords simulation, PBL, nursing, and education in Korean and English. Finally, 21 studies were selected. Results: There were more single-type simulation studies than studies using a hybrid model that combined two simulation types. Most simulation studies were for a single domain of adult nursing rather than for various integrated domains. Four studies (19%) applied a theory during debriefing, but most did not conduct a systematically structured debriefing. All studies selected attitude and competency as the outcome variables to study the effects of the intervention. Two variables (attitude and competency) or three variables (knowledge [or skill], attitude, and competency) were typically selected, and their effects were measured. Conclusion: PBL based on simulation education can be effective in improving nursing practice competency in nursing students. Future studies ought to develop interprofessional education programs based on PBL simulations through multidisciplinary cooperation.

Purpose: This qualitative phenomenological study aims to understand how nursing students interpret their experiences with handover education using concept maps in simulation-based nursing education. Methods: Data were collected from September 18, 2021 to April 6, 2022, through in-depth one-to-one interviews with 11 nursing students. Interviews, which were conducted once or twice, lasted for 30 to 45 minutes per session. The main interview question was “How do you make meaning of your experiences with handover education using concept maps in simulation-based nursing education?” The collected data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: Three categories of were identified: actively engaged with students, addressed the reality of handover education, and there are two sides to handover education. The participants in this study require systematic education on the take-over method and process that can integrate and structure the continuity and thinking necessary for nursing work. Conclusion: Handover education using concept maps in simulation-based methods should be adapted according to the abilities of nursing students and their contextual needs. Future studies using large sample sizes and multiple settings should substantially evaluate the impact of handover education programs using concept maps on clinical outcomes.

Purpose: This study aims to improve nursing students’ competency through evidence-based nursing simulation education. Simulations included blood transfusion care for cancer patients, pneumothorax post-op care, and blood pressure control for hypertension care. Moreover, the study investigated the effects of simulations on anxiety, self-confidence, and student satisfaction with the learning experience. Method: Participants completed a survey on student satisfaction, self-confidence, and anxiety. A prospective, one-group, pre- and post-test design of 135 fourth-grade nursing students was used. A simulation scenario was developed according to the design. It consisted of pre-briefing, practice, serial tests, and debriefing. A simulation of three scenarios comprised blood transfusion care for cancer patients, pneumothorax post-op care, and blood pressure control for hypertension care. Twenty hours of evidence-based nursing simulation practicum consisting of three scenarios dealing with major adult diseases was conducted. Result: Students showed significant improvements over time in self-confidence (t=4.67, p<.001), student satisfaction (t=3.94, p<.001), and anxiety (t=-4.63, p<.001) after the evidence-based nursing simulation. Conclusion: Simulation of evidence-based education may be a useful and effective learning strategy. Nursing educators can design evidence-based simulation programs to improve educational effectiveness.

Purpose: This study aimed to construct and test a hypothetical model to explain predictive factors affecting nursing students' satisfaction and self-confidence in simulation-based education based on the National League for Nursing Jeffries Simulation Theory. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 305 fourth-year nursing students with experience in simulation-based education enrolled at universities in Gangwon-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Gyeonggi-do.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify trends in disaster nursing education and conduct a systematic review of the characteristics of simulation-based disaster education programs for nursing students. Method: In May 2020, 12 electronic databases were used to conduct a literature search using Korean and English keywords. Simulation, disaster, nursing, and education were among the search keywords. Fourteen studies were selected. The risk of bias assessment tool for non-randomized studies was used to assess study quality. Results: A total of 14 non-randomized studies were selected. Simulation was mainly conducted using high-fidelity simulators and virtual reality simulations. Disaster scenarios included situations such as a bus crash, earthquake, tornado, and toxic chemical exposure in mass casualty incident nursing or disaster drills. There were differences in the methods of simulation interventions, and we found that disaster related nursing competencies such as disaster knowledge, disaster preparedness, disaster performance, confidence, self-efficacy, and ethical reasoning improved in nursing students after the intervention. Conclusion: Disaster nursing education aims to improve nursing students’ disaster competencies. Future research should examine significant risk of bias control for confounding variables, attrition bias, and outcome evaluation.

Purpose: This study examines the effects of clinical nursing simulation education program based on problem-based learning (S-PBL) on clinical reasoning, confidence in handover reports, confidence in nursing performance, and simulation effectiveness in nursing students. Method: We used a one-group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 4th-year university nursing students who had taken a core clinical nursing practice, and 90 students participated in the S-PBL program. Data were collected before and after the S-PBL program and analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests. Results: The S-PBL program significantly increased clinical reasoning, confidence in handover reports, and confidence in nursing performance. More than 90% of students were satisfied with the education program and the simulation education effectiveness was 2.54 on a 3-point Likert scale. Conclusion: The S-PBL program could be useful in clinical nursing education for nursing students seeking to become clinical nurses. It is necessary to develop various S-PBL programs and apply them to the curriculum.

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: This study aimed to identify the current status and needs of nursing education for extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants in Korea, and to obtain preliminary information to develop a simulation-based educational program on nursing care for nurses in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICUs). Method: Descriptive survey design was adopted in developing an ELBW infant nursing education program. Data were collected from 71 NICU nurses using a questionnaire survey. Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) (version 23) for windows was used to analyze the frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation of the collected data. Results: Seventy-one nurses working in the NICU reported that majority of them (76.1%) had experience in ELBW infants’ nursing education. The following were highly recommended for simulated training by NICU nurses: nursing intervention immediately after birth in ELBW infants (69.0%), NICU‘ initial admission nursing (66.2%), and frequency response coping nursing (57.7%). Conclusion: The study revealed that there is a considerable need for the ELBW infants nursing education program. The results of this survey will ultimately provide a basis for developing simulation-based ELBW infants nursing training programs for NICU nurses.

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.
