  • Purpose: This study was to identify the effects of a manual booklet as an aid to clinical performance in newly graduated nurses. Methods: The research design was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The study was performed from June 14 to September 17, 2010 with an experimental group (n=23) and a control group (n=22) using a questionnaire with 45 new nurses who graduated from nursing colleges in 2010, and had less than 12 months work experience at a general hospital in B city. A pocketable nursing-work manual booklet was provided for the experimental group nurses so that they could use it as a reference in the work place. Results: Scores on performance of nursing work showed a significant difference between the experimental group and control group (t=-5.257, p=.001). Conclusion: Results of the present study indicate that a manual booklet of nursing work is very helpful in improving the clinical performance of new nurses. New nurses, who have some knowledge of nursing learned at school but have less clinical experience, can be helped effectively with a practical manual booklet for improving their work performance.

  • Purpose: To describe nursing students' experience of sexual harassment during clinical practicum. Methods: An interpretive phenomenological qualitative approach was used to understand contextual experiences of participants. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted to collect data from thirteen nursing students who experienced sexual harassment during clinical practice in general hospitals at D metropolitan city. All interviews were recorded and transcribed into Korean and English. Transcripts were analyzed using the data analysis method described by Diekelmann, Allen, and Tanner. Results: The following 12 themes emerged from the data: 'unprepared to respond', 'lack of education', 'unsure about when behavior crosses the line', 'power differential for nursing students', 'balancing self-preservation with obligations to patients', 'shame', 'feeling responsible for not being able to prevent the harassment', 'impact on patient care', 'fear of what might have happened', 'fear of repercussions', 'long term impact', and 'peer support'. Conclusion: Participants in this study described feeling an obligation to care for their patients. However, they seemed to be unable to balance this while feeling vulnerable to sexual harassment with strong negative feelings. Helping students recognize and effectively deal with sexual harassment is a critical element to assure quality learning for participants and maintain quality of care during clinical practice.

  • Purpose: This study was conducted to explore the experiences of nursing students who participated in the pneumonia and pleural effusion using web-based virtual reality and high-fidelity simulation. Methods: This study is qualitative study using inductive content analysis. We developed simulation scenario regarding pneumonia and pleural effusion. Eleven nursing students who participated in simulation were interviewed between June 20 to August 25, 2022. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed according to the inductive content analysis. Results: The results were analyzed into three key categories: 'pre-learning and psychological burden before simulation','increased learning satisfaction','improved clinical performance'. Conclusions: Participants was able to integrate their previous experience, including clinical practice experiences, web-based virtual simulation, into high-fidelity simulation and effectively enhanced their learning experience. Therefore, when providing various types of simulation simultaneously, it is necessary to take into account the prior students' experiences and to organize simulation education by considering the characteristics of simulation.
