The purpose of this study was to develop an integrated-simulation practice program using standardized patients and to identify the effects of such program. The present study used a pretest-posttest design with a single group applied to 30 fourth-year nursing students in a university and developed a case scenario for alcoholism patients with diabetes mellitus in a community. As results showed, communication skills were significantly improved (t = 4.24, p < .001), but the learning of self-efficacy and motivation of transfer were insignificantly improved compared with the pretest. Moreover, motivation of transfer showed a positive correlation with the learning of self-efficacy (r = .758, p < .01). The purpose of utilizing an appropriate case development based on practical experience and hands-grade students was to improve the motivation of transfer and increase self-efficacy through problem solving. Therefore, we identified that an integrated-simulation practice program using standard patients was useful in the improvement of client centered nursing competence, such as communication skills. In addition, further studies would help develop various scenarios for the integrated-simulation practice program to improve not only communication skills but also increase self-efficacy and motivation of transfer.

This study aimed to develop simulation practice program with PBL (S-PBL) for nursing students and evaluate the effect of the program on their problem solving ability, clinical performance competency, learning satisfaction and confidence. The participants were nursing students who applied for simulation practice courses at an university in J province. The study was a mixed-method design using a nonequivalent one group pretest-posttest design (n=91) and focus group interview (n=12). Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 program and qualitative data thematic analysis. Quantitative data showed S-PBL was effective in improving clinical performance competency, learning satisfaction and confidence of the participants, but not in improving problem solving ability. As a result of the qualitative study, four themes and eight sub-themes were derived, and the themes were "Learn integrated nursing care based on priority", "Experience team cooperation through communication," "Learn vividly critical care" and "Improved nursing competency". The S-PBL could be effective in practical education for nursing students.
