Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships among critical care competence, knowledge related to critical care, and satisfaction with clinical practice from third year college nursing students. Methods: The data were collected from questionnaires concerning critical care competence, knowledge related to critical care, and satisfaction with clinical practice given to 85 nursing students during June 2009. Results: The mean score of total critical care competence was 84.01 (${\pm}14.78$). Total knowledge related to critical care was 6.99 (${\pm}1.97$). Finally, satisfaction with clinical practice was 86.88 (${\pm}9.47$). Regarding critical care competence, common critical care competence was highest followed by neurologic care competence, cardiovascular care competence, and finally respiratory care competence. The mean score of knowledge related to cardiovascular care was highest followed by common critical care knowledge, respiratory care knowledge, and neurologic care knowledge for knowledge related to critical care competence. Critical care competence had a significant positive correlation with satisfaction with clinical practice but had no correlation with knowledge related to critical care. Conclusion: Results of this study suggest that developing educations of clinical practice in hospitals and laboratory practice in colleges for respiratory and cardiovascular critical care is necessary to promote critical care competence and satisfy clinical experiences of nursing students.

This study was done to develop and validate a path model for the causal relationship of nursing information literacy competency and problem solving, self-direct learning, and clinical performance ability of nursing students. Subject were 208 nursing students in the fourth grade of nursing school. Data were collected from June 4 to June 18, 2018. The nursing information literacy competency of nursing students showed direct effects on problem solving ability (${\gamma}=.70$, p<.001) and direct effects on self-directed learning ability (${\gamma}=.53$, p<.001). Nursing information literacy competency showed direct (${\gamma}=.31$, p<.001) and indirect effects (${\gamma}=.31$, p=.007) on clinical performance ability. These variables explained for 46.2% of clinical performance ability. Therefore, it is recommended to develop an education program that can enhance the nursing information literacy competency for improving the problem solving, self-directed learning, and clinical performance ability of nursing students.

This study examined the effects of reeducation of core basic nursing skills on competence, confidence and anxiety in nursing students. We collected the data from 176 2nd grade nursing students. Reeducation of core basic nursing skills was conducted from December 20th to 23rd, 2016. Data were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 program. As the result of reeducation, significant improvement was found in competence(t=-11.57, p<.001), confidence(t=-10.21, p<.001) and considerable decrease was recognized in anxiety(t=-4.76, p<.001). In conclusion, reeducation of core basic nursing skills can help students to improve their overall competence and confidence, and also to reduce their anxieties as they start their first clinical practice. Therefore we suggest that more systematic and continual reeducation of core basic nursing skills should be applied to each grade of nursing students who are facing their clinical practice in hospital

The purpose of this study was to verify the effectiveness of an integrated nursing curriculum based on simulation with problem-based learning (PBL) by comparing the clinical competence and the self-confidence of newly graduated nurses. A non-equivalent control group post-test design was employed to compare the clinical competence and the self-confidence in the clinical performance examination using standardized patients between 39 newly graduated nurses with the traditional nursing curriculum and 35 with the integrated nursing curriculum. Data analysis involved Fisher's exact test, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and ANCOVA with the SPSS 19.0 program. The total clinical competence mean score graded by the standardized patients was not different between the two groups. However, the total clinical competence mean score graded by faculty was significantly higher in the integrated curriculum group than the traditional curriculum group. The mean self-confidence score was significantly higher in the integrated curriculum group than the traditional curriculum group. Active teaching-learning strategies including simulation or PBL in the nursing curriculum could benefit for nursing students by inducing favorable clinical competence and self-confidence. Longitudinal follow-up studies based on observation are needed to explore the patient outcomes in addition to the learner outcomes in clinical settings.
