Since the Human Genome Project(HGP) has begun in the mid 1980s, the sequencing of the human genome has been finally completed in 2001. The knowledge developed from the HGP has revolutionized how health care professionals think about patient care, mandating a new paradigm of patient care in totally inconceivable ways from the past. For instance, the patients at risk for disease can be identified early enough for intervention; the medicine can be tailored for individual patients based on their own genetic information ; the gene therapy could be a common procedure in the near future. The advancement in genetics, therefore, requires the shift of paradigm not only in nursing education, practice, but also in nursing research. It is attempted, in this article to introduce briefly the basic knowledge of genetics, the pharmacogenomics, and the overview of national genetic research initiated and organized by the Center for Functional Analysis of Human Genome in Korea. The current state of nursing genetic knowledge and its implications on nursing education, practice, and research has examined. Furthermore, the visions and the opportunities for nursing science and practice to participate in this genetic revolution were also explored.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of using standardized patients on nursing competence, communication skills, and learning satisfaction in health assessment. Method: This study was a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized post-test design. Study participants were recruited from third-year nursing students at a university. The data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Results: The mean scores of nursing competence and communication skills were significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group. However, the two groups were not statistically different in learning satisfaction. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the use of standardized patients compared to the traditional method is an effective educational method for health assessment in nursing competence and communication skills. Therefore, it is necessary to develop various scenarios and apply standardized patients for health assessment. In addition, further research is required to evaluate its effects.

This study is a descriptive survey on the studying science subjects before entrance to nursing department, the scores of basic nursing sciences and the academic adjustment. The data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0. There was a significant difference between studying certain science subjects before entrance and the scores of basic nursing sciences, studying Biology I, Chemistry I, Physics I and Earth science I increased mean score of basic nursing sciences(p<.05), there were positive correlations among them. And there was no correlation between studying science subjects before entrance and academic adjustment except Physics I, but, there was a positive correlation between score of basic nursing sciences and academic adjustment(r=0.296, p<.001). Also, studying science subjects before entrance affected partially to the scores of basic nursing sciences, and the scores of basic nursing sciences affected academic adjustment(p=.001). This result can be used in pre-school program for the freshmen after repeated study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship among the factors of self-awareness, other-awareness and communication ability, and how they relate to communication ability in nursing students. Methods: For data collection 237 nursing students completed self-report questionnaires. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: Self-awareness, other- awareness and communication ability of the participants showed moderate levels of self-awareness, other-awareness, and communication ability. There were significant positive correlations between self-awareness and communication ability (r=.59, p<.001). and between other-awareness and communication ability (r=.22, p=.001). Social anxiety, private self-awareness, and internal other-awareness were significant factors, which explained about 37% of the variance in communication ability. Conclusion: These findings suggest that a systematic and effective curriculum focused on self-awareness and other-awareness should be developed for nursing students in order to promote their communication ability.

Purpose: This is a retrospective secondary data analysis study based on real-world data to analyze the level of nursing care needs of patients in a comprehensive nursing care service ward, and identify factors influencing nursing needs. Methods: Study participants included patients admitted to two comprehensive nursing care service wards at a tertiary general hospital located in Gyeonggi-do, Korea. After obtaining permission from the health and medical information team of the target hospital, data were collected from their electronic medical records. Nursing care needs were measured using seven items on nursing activity and four items on daily living activities developed by the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS). The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS version 29.0 with frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, minimum and maximum values, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression. Results: The level of nursing care needs of patients in comprehensive nursing care service wards was found to be higher for patients with pressure sores (β=.33), older patients (β=.26), patients who underwent procedures (β=.15), patients with present guardians (β=.15), and patients with more comorbidities (β=.10). The total explanatory power was 51.0%. Conclusion: It is necessary to accurately identify patients' nursing care needs and provide nursing care according to priority by considering the characteristics of patients in comprehensive nursing care service wards.
