Purpose: This study examined the influence of nursing students’ competencies in assessment, communication, clinical judgment, and patient safety on evidence-based practice (EBP) competency through simulation training. Methods: Data were collected from in December 11 in 2023 to January 30 in 2024, using a self-report questionnaire. The final participants were 230 nursing students in two universities. Multiple regression, t-test, ANOVA were used for data analysis. Results: The competencies of nursing students who participated in simulation training significantly influenced their EBP competency. The most influential factor on nursing students’ competency of EBP was Clinical Judgment, followed by Communication. Assessment and Patient safety competencies did not have a statistically significant impact on EBP competency. Conclusion: It is crucial for nurses to implement EBP to provide high-quality nursing and advance nursing as a science. However, since EBP competency is difficult to acquire in a short period, education on EBP is necessary from nursing school. Simulation training is considered an effective means to enhance nursing students' competency in EBP. Our study suggests incorporating elements that strengthen competencies in clinical judgment and communication when establishing a simulationbased training program to enhance the EBP competency of nursing students.

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 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. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 25.0. Results: The hypothetical model showed good fit with the empirical data: χ2/df 2.17, RMSEA=.01, RMR=.01, GFI=.95, AGFI=.91, NFI=.94, TLI=.95, CFI=.97, and PNFI=.68. Simulation design characteristics, teaching efficiency, and flow were found to affect satisfaction and self-confidence directly. A bootstrap test indicated that teaching efficiency and flow mediated the relationship between simulation design characteristics and satisfaction and self-confidence. Conclusion: Simulation educators should apply best practice that enhance teaching efficiency and flow through well-organized simulation designs, nursing students can attain satisfaction and self-confidence through simulation-based education.

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 was conducted to provide simulation training on evidence-based practical training and to examine its effects. Method: Data were collected from 83 students at C University, between October 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018. This training was conducted over a 5-week period. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Friedman test, the Wilcoxon signedrank test, and Repeated Measure ANOVA, all after the normality test. Results: There was a significant difference between the two groups in evidence-based practice beliefs, competence, nursing profession perspective, critical thinking tendencies, and problem-solving ability (p<.001). More specifically, there was a greater improvement in evidence-based practice knowledge, critical thinking tendency, and problem-solving ability than in the existing simulation exercise. Conclusion: Being effective in enhancing the ability to provide evidence-based practice beliefs, competencies, nursing profession perspectives, and, especially in evidence-based practice knowledge, critical thinking tendencies, and problem-solving skills, it is necessary to link evidence-based education and existing simulation training.

본 연구의 목적은 시뮬레이션기반 실습교육이 간호대학생들의 고용가능성, 진로탐색행동 및 진로결정 자기효능감에 미치는 효과를 확인하고자 시도되었다. 비동등성 대조군 전후설계를 적용한 유사실험 설계로 J지역 소재 3학년 학생을 편의표집하여 총 120명의 간호대학생들로, 실험군 60명, 대조군 60명이 연구에 참여하였다. 실험군은 6주간 실험에 참여하였다. 연구결과, 시뮬레이션기반 실습교육은 간호대학생의 고용가능성(t=-2.31, p=.023), 진로탐색행동(t=-3.05, p=.003)을 유의하게 증가시켰으나, 진로결정자 기효능감(t=-.87, p=.387)은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 시뮬레이션기반 실습교육은 간호대학생들의 교육에 유용하므로 강화해야 할 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for developing strategies to improve the learning effect of simulation by analyzing the reflective journaling after the simulation based learning on the nursing of patients with upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding. Method: From September 19–29, 2016, we conducted a simulation of UGI bleeding patient nursing with fourth-year students in the nursing department of University B in City A, and analyzed the data using content analysis. Results: In this study, reflective journaling can be an effective educational method to strengthen nursing competence, such as the self-reflection of nursing students, evidence-based nursing practice, teamwork, and communication ability. Conclusion: Reflective journaling after practice in simulation-based education is an important process in training critical thinking, situational judgment, and reflection of nursing practice content, and needs to be extended to both on-campus practice and clinical practice.
