The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of HMD-based virtual reality core nursing skills training on nursing students' knowledge, performance, self-confidence, self-efficacy, and problem-s olving ability. The study participants were 45 fourth-year nursing students from a university in A city. The participants were assigned to either the experimental group (n = 21) who received VR core nursing skills related to blood transfusion training or the control group (n = 24) who received traditional training using mannequins. After completing core nursing skill training, the experimental group and the control group performed simulations including blood transfusion. Data was collected from October 3 to October 28, 2022. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests. The results showed that after the intervention, the experimental group had significantly higher knowledge scores than the control group (t=-2.13, p=.039). The control group had significantly higher self-confidence in performance than the experimental group (t=2.63, p=.012). There were no significant differences in performance, self-efficacy, or problem-solving ability between the two groups. Therefore, VR-based core nursing skills training can be usefully utilized for nursing students to learn the knowledge and procedures before performing them in real life, and traditional core nursing skills training using mannequins can lead to an increase in nursing students' confidence in performing the skills.

The goal of reduction mammaplasty is a breast with natural contour and volume, aesthetically situated scars, and a well-placed, sensate nipple and areola. The most successful techniques achieve this through the excision of tissue from the lower part of the breast based on some variation. However, the Mckissock's vertical bipedicle technique is the popular method for reduction mammaplasty. As an alternative modified Mckissock's method, we have found the use of only an inferior dermal flap with a keyhole pattern to be a simple and safe method for obtaining satisfactory aesthetic results. We have used inferior dermal flap for 4 patients recently and obtained the advantages as below compare to the Mckissock's method. 1. Rich blood supply to the broad based inferior flap. 2. More easy transposition of the nipple and areola. 3. More good operation field for resection of breast tissue. 4. Short operation time. 5. Can applied to the gigantomastia.

Purpose: This study was done in order to identify the effectiveness of open laboratory self-directed practice on knowledge, self-confidence, skill competency, and satisfaction of intravenous infusion in nursing students. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study using a non-equivalent control pre-posttest design. The participants were 32 students comprising an experimental group and 30 students comprising a control group. The experimental group was allowed to perform open laboratory self-directed practice only. Pretest and posttest was performed through questionnaires of knowledge and self-confidence, and competence and satisfaction were assessed using checklists at posttest. Results: The score of Knowledge in the posttest showed no significant difference between both groups (F=1.28, p=.290), and those of self-confidence (F=3.87, p=.014) and competency (F=9.55, p<.001) of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Conclusion: Open laboratory self-directed practice was effective in improving nursing students' self-confidence and competency of intravenous infusion. Therefore, students should be encouraged to actively participate in open laboratory self-directed practice and the effective strategies should be developed.

New chords formation of mitral valve using expended-polytetrafluoroethylene sutures was performed in six patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) from April, 1994 to March, 1995. There were 3 men and 3 women whose mean age was 65 years, ranged from 55 to 75. A double-armed pledget suture was passed through the lateral portion of papillary muscle head and tied. Each arm of the suture was brought up to the free margin of the leaflet and passed through the area where the native chorda was attached. At leaflet surface, one more weaving was made. fter the lengths of the two arms were adjusted, the ends were tied. There were no operative deaths. Patients have been followed up from 2 to 13 months, mean 8. Echocardiographic sutudies were performed at 10 days after operation and revealed normal mitral valve function in all patients.

관절와 병변은 급성 외상으로 인한 골절뿐 아니라 불안정성으로 인한 골 침윤으로 정의할 수 있으며, 이는 통상의 방사선학적 검사를 통하여 진단을 하지 못하는 경우도 있다. 전방 탈구와 동반된 전방 관절와 골절의 빈도는 5.4%에서 32%까지 보고되었다. Hovelius 등이 226명의 탈구환자를 대상으로한 연구에서 8%의 관절와 골절이 있었다고 보고하였고, 노령의 환자에서 약간의 빈도가 증가한다고 하였다. 또한 Rowe는 전방 관절와 골절이 있는 27명의 환자에서 기계적 안정성의 결함으로 62%의 재발성 탈구가 있었다고 보고하였다. 보다 최근의 방카르트 술기에 대한 보고에서 수술적 처치를 한 환자중 44%가 관절와 골절을 동반하였다고 보고하였다. Rowe 와 Zarins는 다발성 전방탈구 환자에서 관절와 병변이 잘 치료되었는지 여부에 따라 다른 결과를 낸다고 보고하였다. 전자에 따르면, 관절와 병변을 진단하는 것은 중요하며 환자의 최종적 예후는 이를 어떻게 치료했는지 여부에 따라 결정된다고 하였다. 관절와 상완관절의 불안정성에서 동반된 관절와 병변의 진단은 보존적 치료시나 수술적 치료 시 모두 중요한 인자라고 하겠다.

Avulsion fractures of the intercondylar eminence of the tibia are uncommon. This kind of fracture is most commonly found in adolescents, with an increasing incidence for those involved in competitive athletics. Recently, an arthroscopic procedure is preferred to reduce the operation-related morbidity. Screws, K-wires, Suture anchor have been described as fixation devices. Cannulated screw fixation is a simple method, but this instrument has the risk of causing damage to the growth plate. The authors report good results using cannulated screw in arthroscopic treatment for pediatric anterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture.

Purpose: Incorporating simulation modalities into nursing education is known to be effective in enhancing education outcomes. Standardizing the nomenclature of simulation modalities and developing a comprehensive conceptual framework for guiding the development of simulation modules are mandated given the prevalence and disorganization of simulation education. This article, thus, was aimed to summarize literature and propose a conceptual framework for structuralizing simulation education in Korea. Methods: A comprehensive literature review on CINAHL, PubMed, RISS, KISS, DBpia and renowned Korean nursing journals was conducted including articles from 2002 to 2011. Results: The nomenclature of simulation modalities was clarified and summarized. Twenty-eight studies on the effects of simulation education were summarized in a table demonstrating the state of the science in simulation research. In addition, 'a conceptual framework for three-dimensional nursing simulation education' was proposed, described in detail, and diagramed. According to 'the 3D simulation framework', each three axes, i.e., the scope of practice, complexity, and student competency, has three phases in accomplishing a high level of competency. Conclusion: The proposed '3D simulation framework' is hoped to be a theoretical guide in designing a clinical curriculum utilizing simulation and developing detailed simulation modules in clinical practicum courses.
