Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of nursing students' self-reflection and insight, and academic selfefficacy on their clinical reasoning competence. Methods: Data were collected from 147 third- and fourth-year nursing students who had more than 6 months of clinical training experience. Clinical reasoning competence, self-reflection and insight, and academic self-efficacy were measured using self-reported questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted with IBM SPSS 25.0 using one-way ANOVA, independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Results: Clinical reasoning competence was positively correlated with self-reflection and insight (r=.24, p=.003) and academic self-efficacy (r=.30, p<.001). Academic self-efficacy (β=.23, p=.011), dissatisfaction with major (β=-.17, p=.034), and 5~8 case studies (β=-.39, p=.027) were identified as factors influencing clinical reasoning competence (adjusted R²=.15). Conclusion: To improve the clinical reasoning competence of nursing students, it is necessary to develop the academic self-efficacy of complex cases and provide critical inquiries, debriefing tailored to clinical reasoning, and sufficient reflection during clinical and simulation practice.

This study examined different individual and parental factors that affect children's achievement motivation. For an analysis, perceived competence, intrinsic locus of control were included in individual variables. For parental variables, parental support and achievement pressure and marital conflict were examined. The sample consisted of 561 fifth and sixth grade children. Statistics and methods used for the data analysis were Cronbach's alpha, Factor analysis, frequency, percentage, Pearson's correlation, and Hierarchical Regression. Several major results were found from the analysis. First, girl's achievement motivation was higher than boys. No age difference was found between fifth and sixth grade. Second, boy's and girl's achievement motivation had a positive correlation with perceived competence, intrinsic locus of control, parental support and achievement pressure but a negative correlation with parental marital conflict. Third, important variables predicting boy's and girl's achievement motivation were perceived academic competence, parental achievement pressure and perceived social competence. Important variables predicting boy's individual and social oriented achievement motivation were perceived academic competence and parental achievement pressure. On the other hand, important variables predicting girl's individual oriented achievement motivation were perceived social competence, perceived academic competence, intrinsic locus of control and parental achievement pressure. Important variables predicting girl's social oriented achievement motivation were parental achievement pressure, perceived academic competence and mother's support.

The purpose of this study was to explore the moderating effect of learning strategy levels on the relationship between academic grit and career development competence perceived by high school students. The sample for this study comprised 573 high school students, and data analysis was conducted mainly using reliability analysis, correlation analysis, K-mean cluster analysis, hierarchical regression analysis. The results of the study showed that the learning strategy levels moderated the relationship between academic grit and career development competence. This study suggest it is necessary to provide grit enhancement programs coupled with learning strategy levels in order to facilitate career development competence. The future studies need to explore the literature review for logical relationship between academic grit and career development competence, the qualitative approach for drawing on the theoretical models among the related variables, and the relational research to explore mediating or moderating effect of the individual backgrounds and related variables on the relationship between academic grit and career development competence.

This study was conducted to investigate the mediating effect of academic stress on the relationship between smartphone overdependence and the communication competence of nursing students. The research subjects were nursing students in cities A and Y. The research period was from March 2 to March 9, 2023, and the number of subjects analyzed was 139. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 26.0, Process macro program the collected data. The results of the mediating effect of academic stress on the relationship between smartphone dependence and communication competence showed that academic stress (β=.226, p=.005) mediated the effect on the relationship between smartphone dependence and communication competence(Z=-3.131, p=.002). As a result, the combined explanatory power of the variables on nursing student's communication competence was 15.4%. In addition, in order to reduce nursing students' smartphone overdependence, it is necessary to educate them about smartphone use and develop self-control, provide interventions to cope with academic stress, and develop intervention programs to improve communication competence.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the effect of simulation-based education relevant to the care of patients with acute renal failure (ARF) for third-year nursing students. Methods: This study was a non-equivalent control pre-posttest design. Based on the clinical situation scenarios pertaining to patients with ARF, a simulation-based learning module was developed using Human Patient Simulator version 6 (HPS6) manufactured by Medical Education Technologies Inc. The pretest was conducted so as to evaluate the difference in prior knowledge and clinical competence between two groups. The control group consisted of 91 students during the 2010 academic year and the experimental group consisted of 94 students during the 2011 academic year. Data were analysed using SPSS/win 10.1. Results: In the experimental group, knowledge related to care for ARF patients was not significantly increased; however, clinical competence improved significantly for the experimental group. Conclusion: In conclusion, the simulation-based education program was effective in contributing towards the development of clinical competence. Increased development of clinical competence is vital for today's clinical environment where nursing professionals need the necessary knowledge, thinking, and performance skills to meet the needs of the hospital and their patients.

Purpose: This descriptive survey study assesses the extent of empathic competence, occupational stress, and ego-resilience of nurses, and confirms factors that affect ego-resilience in order to provide basic data for the competency development program for nurses. Methods: Data obtained from the questionnaire survey conducted with 193 nurses were analyzed by means of t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient and Multiple Regression. Results: Empathic competence, in accordance with the general characteristics of nurses, displayed statistically significant differences in terms of final academic background. Further, occupational stress and ego-resilience displayed statistically significant differences related to the nurses' department of employment, age, and total clinical experiences, respectively. Empathic competence and ego-resilience have a significant positive correlation, and age and empathic competence were found to be the factors that impart influence on ego-resilience. Conclusion: The enhancement of empathic competence of nurses has affirmative effects on the satisfaction of patients with their nurses, and it also improves the ego-resilience of nurses. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and apply career training program aimed at enhancing the empathic competence of nurses as an in-service educational program.
