Purpose: This study attempted to enhance the nurses’ safety competence in administering medications by using simulation training focused on high-alert medication. Method: A total of 30 nurses from 14 teams participated in the simulation training using a high-fidelity patient simulator. Medication administration performance and built-in error recovery was observed using a medication administration safety assessment checklist. Medication safety knowledge and confidence were measured before and after simulation training. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired t-test. Results: There were numerous variations in safe medication administration. The safety behavior by oral prescription was insufficient compared to that by routine medication prescription. Following simulation training, knowledge of medication safety increased significantly, but confidence did not. Conclusion: Nurse educators may consider simulation to be an effective strategy for enhancing nurses’ medication safety competence.

Purpose: This study was tried to identify the effects of simulation program by applying hazard perception training on self-efficacy of patient safety, error recovery and problemsolving process in nursing students. Methods: A nonequivalent control group designed was used. The study was composed of hazard perception training and simulation program. Sixteen teams of a total of 61 nursing students participated in the simulation program using a high fidelity simulator. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, χ2-test and t-test using PASW 18.0 program. Result: There were statistically signigicant in self-efficacy of patient safety(t=2.55, p=.013), error recovery(t=2.82, p=.007), and problem-solving process(t=3.29, p=.002) in the experimental group. Conclusion: These results indicate that the simulation program by applying hazard perception training is effective in improving self-efficacy of patient safety, error recovery and problem-solving process for nursing students. Further study is recommended to confirm the long-term effects of the simulation program by applying hazard perception training.

In spite of international efforts to control nuclear weapons and chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) weapons, North Korea obtains and sells CBR weapons illegally. As a result, the worldwide threat of CBR weapons is increasing. Unfortunately, civil defense education and training for CBR weapons have not been adopted for real situations because of the long period of absence of an actual combat. In this study, virtual training scenarios that are applied to the simulation were made in 5 steps to cope with CBR situations. These scenarios are expected to have three effects. First, trainings can be improved with experience and education. Second, the problems and health hazards of CBR weapons and supplies can be solved with CBR virtual training simulation experience. Finally, corresponding effects can be recognized and predicted in real situations through roles and mission procedures of simulation scenario.

목적: 본 연구에서는 양궁선수들의 경기력 향상과 심리기술훈련 지원을 위한 가상현실 훈련 프로그램을 개발하고 적용하는데 목적이 있다. 방법: 실험은 4주간 주 2회 총 8회기 동안 기능적 근적외선 분광장치, 가상현실 기기와 안구움직임 추적 장비와 시뮬레이션 영상을 활용하여 분석하였다. 실험 전반에 걸쳐 배외측전전두피질(DLPFC)에 서 나타나는 집단 및 사전, 사후검사의 차이를 알아보기 위하여 반복측정 분산분석 및 사후분석을 실시하였다. 가상현실 훈련에서 구간별 시선행동패턴 측정에 대한 데이터는 집단에 따른 사전 사후 비교를 위해 구간별 독립 표본 검정을 실시하였다. 결과: 배외측전전두피질의 혈류역학변화를 검증한 결과 실험집단의 우측 DLPFC의 산소 포화도는 사후검사에서 사전검사의 수준을 유지하는 것으로 나타났으나 통제집단은 사후검사에서 감소하였다. 좌 측 DLPFC의 산소포화도는 두 집단 모두 사전검사보다 사후검사에서 감소하였다. 가상현실(VR) 시뮬레이션 훈련 의 효과를 확인하기 위해 시선고정시간을 분석한 결과 실험집단과 통제집단의 사전, 사후 측정에서 차이가 나타 났다. 결론: 이러한 연구 결과 추후 반복적인 VR 시뮬레이션 훈련을 통해 양궁선수들의 시선 처리 안정화와 일 관성을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
