Development of a Consecutive Clinical Nursing Practicum Module using Simulation

시뮬레이션을 이용한 연속적 간호실습교육 모듈개발

Purpose: This is a project report of the development of consecutive clinical nursing practicum modules using simulation encompassing the essentials of nursing over 4 years of university level education. Methods: The project was conducted from May to December in 2011 in a college of nursing in Seoul, Korea. Six nursing faculty members from different major subjects at the university participated in the project. The theoretical framework was sought in the first phase, resulting in utilizing Neuman's Systems Model. The principles of developing the contents of and the links between the modules were set up in the second phase, presented as complexity, diversity, and comprehensiveness. The details in the individual module were fleshed out in the third phase. Results: Eight clinical nursing modules using simulation were developed and presented in a table in detail. The complexity, diversity, and comprehensiveness of each module increased in depth and breadth in a consecutive order. Conclusion: It is hoped that this module is a decent curricular exemplar demonstrating comprehensive nursing practice education using a simulation technique.
