The purpose of this study is to investigate the educational needs of virtual reality(VR)-based communication and teamwork skills for patient safety intended for nursing students and nurses. For this study, mixed method design was used with surveyed data collected 60 nursing students and 123 nurses. And fourteen nurses was conducted focus group interview. SPSS/WIN 25.0 and inductive content analysis for focus group interviews were utilized for data analysis. The results indicated that the awareness of VR and educational needs of team communication, and teamwork skills were above average, and nursing students required higher educational needs than nurses. Teamwork knowledge was moderate, and there was no significant difference between the two groups. Regarding nurse's communication in hospital, 4 themes of contributing factors and 2 themes of result factors that cause communication difficulties among nurses were derived from the qualitative data. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a virtual reality-based simulation program reflecting the educational needs of nursing students and nurses in order to improve team communication and teamwork skills for patient safety required for nursing students and nurses.

As Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) became a pandemic, most nursing departments in Korea implemented online non-face-to-face practices rather than the existing practice method. This study was a qualitative study that analyzed the reflection diaries written by participants to understand what they experienced in the online non-face-to-face adult nursing practice process. The online non-face-to-face adult nursing practice was 90 hours for two credits and nine hours per day for a total of 10 days. This online practice consisted of computer-based simulation practice, computer-based nursing skills practice, video and educational material production, real-time online quiz, online lecture video, and discussion. As a result of analyzing the reflection diary, six categories, 13 subcategories, and 33 codes were derived. The six categories were 'Experience of various situations', 'Experience of new study', 'Fulfillment for the clinical practice', 'Building relations with professors', 'Fear of being a pre-nurse', and 'Ambivalence for the non-face-to-face practice'. These results are significant in that in the post-corona era, adult nursing practice was conducted as a non-face-to-face practice rather than a clinical practice institution, and various educational methods were operated. This study is expected to provide important basic data for the development and operation of non-face-to-face adult nursing practice.

The purpose of this study is to review articles related to disaster training for nursing students and nurses by investigating the contents and effects of research. Electronic databases, including CINAHL, Pubmed and RISS were searched. Papers published only in English or Korean were included. Twelve studies were selected from the 3,588 references screened. Most training programs took less than 8 hours, focusing mostly on the response phase of disaster. Intervention methods included simulation, debriefing, action learning, role play, problem based learning and so on. It was found that disaster training programs have significant positive effects on disaster management competency, disaster knowledge, disaster nursing related self-confidence, and disaster response competency. It was also revealed that multidisciplinary practice would help learners enhance cooperation and collaboration with other team members and foster a positive professional identity. Among the selected articles, the randomized controlled trial(RCT) study was just one. Therefore, RCTs are further needed to verify the effects of such an disaster training. Also, further studies considering the characteristics of department and nursing interventions based on all phases of disaster are needed.

Purpose of this study was to provide strategies to improve quality in clinical practice by identifying the nursing student contents of clinical practice, performance level and satisfaction in the delivery room setting and correlations between the performance level and satisfaction. As the result, Nursing students were mostly rely on observational experiences with very limited experiences of performance and assist. Nursing students' clinical practice satisfaction were relatively low with 69 percentile score. The women's health clinic group showed higher score on frequency of clinical observation, clinical practice satisfaction than the tertiary hospital group. Correlations among frequencies of observation, assist and satisfaction were identified. Simulation based clinical practice as alternative ways to enhance students' performance level, utilizing community based speciality healthcare facilities for clinical practice, increasing observational experiences in the clinical field were suggested as strategies to improve quality of nursing clinical practice and ultimately to improve quality of healthcare services.

Communication is an important factor for nurses to lead successful nursing interventions by establishing therapeutic relationships with the subjects and cooperative relationships between the various occupations. The purpose of this study was to develop a communication education program to nurse college students to improve communication skills among medical professionals and to analyze the effects of the program. The subjects of this study were 54 students in the 4th grade of P nursing. The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference between the subjects' communication clarity(t=-7.75, p<.001) and self-leadership (t=-4.43, p<.001). Satisfaction with communication increased after the training but there was no significant difference (t=-1.22, p=.226). In conclusion, communication program using SBAR has a positive effect on clarity of communication and self-leadership of nursing students, and it is necessary to develop continuous education that can develop various scenarios and repeat training.

The purpose of this study was to develop a scenario suited for our clinical situations and evaluate the application possibility by evaluating students' problem solving ability and learning satisfaction in simulation learning. This study consisted of contents which could be applied for varied situations such as complications and symptoms related to liver cirrhosis, looking into hyperkalemia symptoms of patients with liver cirrhosis in emergency unit. The stage of developing scenario was organized in the order of setting simulation learning objectives and situations of scenario, making algorithm, writing checklists of clinical performance appraisal, and debriefing. The scenario was constructed with monitor setting(actions), patient/mannequin(actions), expected interventions(events), and cues in chronological order, according to the scenario progression outline of Jeffries (2007). The scenario was used in 2011, consisting of 4-5 people per group of 53 senior nursing students who registered for 'clinical performance appraisal' course. The problem solving ability improved from a score of 4.05 before simulation learning to a score of 4.30 after simulation learning (t=-3.97, p<.001). The score for learning satisfaction after the simulation learning was high (4.09/5). Considering that simulation learning encouraged students to be the main body of class, this learning method can be the effective way of nursing education.

This study is a methodological study analyzing the results of applying capstone design to nursing education. Among the nursing college students who completed the fundamental nursing subject, the students who agreed to participate in the research were composed of the project team and proceeded as team activities. It was conducted through knowledge - team composition - topic selection / analysis - design / development - simulation - evaluation / feedback process starting from knowledge learned through fundamental nursing class. The research period was from January 1, 2015 to October 30, 2015 for 6 months. BBS (Bed Sore Socks) was developed for the prevention of pressure ulcers, and BBS was applied for seven days to randomly selected patients in the long term care facility. The incidence and pressure ulcer risk scores were assessed. The results of the pilot study showed that the intervention group had an effect on the incidence of pressure ulcer ($x^2=.40$, p = .500) and the pressure ulcer risk score (z = -.45, p = .690), but it was not statistically significant. Capstone design was trailed in the field of nursing education and produced the bed sore socks. In the nursing education, not many capstone design trails appeared yet, this study might be the first trail in the field of nursing, and it could be challenging for expanding of nursing education.

This research study was conducted to investigate the effect of knowledge, attitude and nursing professionalism on the confidence of the performance of nursing students who had experience with clinical practice and also to provide basic data for the development of nursing students' curriculum. The subjects who participated in this study were 286 students in the 4th year of nursing at two colleges in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions. The research data was analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 program. Confidence in performance of patient safety was higher for the women than for men, and for the students of an older age and higher academic achievement. Confidence in performance of patient safety was positively related to knowledge (r=.25, p=.000), attitude (r=.39, p=.000), nursing professionalism (r=.33, p=.000) and all these had statistical significance. On the multiple regression analysis, the coefficient of determination ($R^2$) was .49 and the explanatory power of the model was 49.2% (F=24.04, p=.000). The most important factor affecting confidence in performance of patient safety was the experience of having undergone patient safety education. Based on these results, it is necessary to seek various educational methods to expand the concept of patient safety from the beginning of the undergraduate course work. Especially, we think that various education strategies such as simulation education methods or information videos are needed to develop scenarios related to patient safety.
