Purpose Falls and medication errors are the most common patient safety incidents globally. Kolb’s experiential learning theory supports the application of cognitive learning in clinical settings. This study examined the effectiveness of Experiential Learning–Based Fall and Medication Error Prevention Education (EFMPE), utilizing virtual reality and room of errors.
Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 28 fourth-year nursing students (15 experimental, 13 control). The experimental group participated in EFMPE from February 1 to 6, 2024, comprising six sessions of 2 hours each. The control group received traditional lectures. Safety control confidence and course interest were measured before and immediately after the intervention; safety control confidence was reassessed 6 weeks later.
Results Both groups showed immediate improvement; however, only the experimental group sustained increased safety control confidence after 6 weeks (Wald χ²=13.21, p<.001). Course interest was significantly higher in the experimental group post-intervention (Wald χ²=10.64, p=.001).
Conclusion These preliminary findings suggest that EFMPE potentially supports the prevention of falls and medication errors in clinical practice.
Purpose This study aimed to examine the relationship among professor-student interactions, grit, and adaptation to college life.
Methods In this quantitative, cross-sectional study, participants completed a structured questionnaire comprising 48 items: 8 on general characteristics, 8 on professor-student interactions, 12 on grit, and 20 on adaptation to college life. Data were collected from 165 nursing students at two four-year universities between April 15 and May 20, 2023.
Results Professor-student interactions had a mean score of 3.76±0.59 out of 5, grit had a mean score of 3.09±0.53, and adaptation to college life had a mean score of 3.48±0.51. Regression analysis identified significant predictors of adaptation to college life, including professor-student interactions (β=.26, p<.001), grit-perseverance of effort (β=.18, p=.047), and satisfaction with the major, with the "very satisfied" (β=.40, p<.001) and "satisfied" (β=.24, p=.002) categories showing significant impacts. The overall regression model was statistically significant (F=20.76, p<.001) and accounted for 32.5% of the variance in adaptation to college life.
Conclusion Educational programs designed to strengthen professor-student interactions, enhance grit, and improve satisfaction with one's major should be developed to help nursing students adapt to college life. These findings have important implications for nursing education practices, the improvement of student support systems, and the preparation of students for their professional roles.
Purpose This study aims to identify predicting factors influencing Chinese students’ intentions to quit smoking.
Methods Secondary data for this study came from a study on the change in smoking cessation among Asian students. Data on their intention to quit smoking was collected from October 2020 to January 2021 through an online survey. The study participants included 190 Chinese international students aged 19 to 29 who were smokers. Descriptive statistics, chi-squared test, independent-test, and decision-making trees were used for analysis.
Results 73.2% (139 students) of Chinese international students in Korea intended to quit smoking; 97.8% of the groups intending to quit smoking had previously attempted to quit. The decision tree ultimately had seven sections. The attempt to quit smoking was the most significant predictor of smoking cessation intention. Stop smoking attempts, intent to participate in a nonsmoking programs, smoking parents, stop-smoking self attempts, and smoking after studying abroad were factors predicting intention to quit smoking.
Conclusion The factors influencing Chinese students’ intention to quit smoking differed depending on their previous smoking cessation experience. Intention to participate in a smoking cessation program, parent smoking, and recent attempts to quit smoking were factors predicting intention to quit in those with previous smoking cessation experience. A program tailored to their needs should be developed to improve the smoking cessation intention of Chinese international students depending on their history of smoking cessation.
Purpose This study investigated the factors affecting depression in nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods The participants of this descriptive study were 183 nursing students at four nursing colleges. Data were collected from August 27 to September 10, 2021 through an online questionnaire comprising 101 questions, and analyzed using SPSS/Win 25.0 program by frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, pearson’s correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis.
Results The results revealed that the average score for depression in the participants was 9.19±9.23 out of 63 points. The factors affecting depression in the participants during the COVID-19 pandemic were satisfaction with major (moderate) (β=-.38, p=.009), satisfaction with major (satisfied) (β=-.35, p=.018), job-seeking anxiety (β=.33, p<.001), health status (good) (β=-.28, p=.016), and self-efficacy (β=-.26, p=.001), and the explanatory power of these variables for depression in the participants was 43.0%.
Conclusion The results of this study suggest that for early prevention and management of depression in nursing students, to increase their satisfaction with the nursing major, it is necessary to implement learning enhancement programs and adopt strategies to improve their understanding of nursing. It is also necessary to develop and implement various extracurricular programs for reducing job-seeking anxiety and enhancing self-efficacy.

Purpose This study aimed to identify the mediating effect of risk perception in the relationship between media dependence and the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related infection prevention behavior of nursing students. Methods The survey data of 159 nursing students were analyzed. The independent variable was media dependence, the dependent variable was COVID-19-related infection prevention behavior, and the parameter was risk perception. The hypothesis was tested using the Maximum Likelihood (ML) method to analyze the covariate structure. Results COVID-19-related infection prevention behavior showed a positive correlation with media dependence and risk perception. With regard to the relationship between media dependence and COVID-19-related infection prevention behavior, risk perception showed a partial mediating effect. Conclusion To improve infection prevention behavior, it is necessary to use various media suitable for the age group to access information about COVID-19. Particularly, nursing students take care of various infected patients through clinical practice or medical service. Therefore, it is required to raise risk awareness and improve infection prevention behavior through clinical practice or medical volunteer activities.

Purpose This study aimed to explore the clinical practice experience of nursing students during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods We used the qualitative content analysis steps presented by Graneheim and Lundman. The participants were 11 nursing students from two universities. We collected data by iterative work through in-depth interviews and observations and analyzed it using content analysis and dialogue between the authors to enhance interpretation. Results Four themes emerged from the participants' clinical practice experiences during the pandemic: increased uncertainty in clinical practice and daily life, reduced opportunities for practice experiences and networking, differences in the meaning of clinical practice, and new implications of clinical practice. Conclusion Participants were experiencing clinical practice, including themselves and the surrounding world, under the strong influence of the COVID-19. Therefore, the development of practice guidelines that can be communicated quickly between institutions, students, and universities and cope flexibly with the pandemic alarm levels will reduce uncertainty in clinical practice and minimize changes in activities and networking. Additionally, the nurses’ professional intuition should be improved by expanding the awareness of nurse roles in clinical practice during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Purpose This study was conducted to investigate selected constructs of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change regarding smoking behavior among Asian students in Korea. Methods A convenience sample of 240 Chinese and Vietnamese smokers studying in colleges, graduate schools, and language programs across the country completed the Chinese and Vietnamese versions of the short form questionnaire from October 2020 to January 2021, through an online survey. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, independent t-test, and logistic regression. Results Analyses showed that 72.1% of participants were in contemplation and preparation stage. There were significant differences in the process of change, decisional balance, and self-efficacy depending on the stages of change in smoking cessation. Factors influencing smoking cessation intention were consciousness raising (Odds Radio [OR]=1.22, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]=1.00~1.15, p=.047), self-reevaluation (OR=1.40, 95% CI=1.15~1.70, p=.001), cons of smoking (OR=1.18, 95% CI=1.00~1.39, p=.045), and self-efficacy (OR=1.08, 95% CI=1.00~1.15, p=039). Conclusion The results provide support on the advantages of including the concepts of consciousness raising, self-reevaluation, negative aspects of smoking (cons), and self-efficacy in intervention program development for smoking cessation.

PURPOSE Standardized patient-based simulation is known to be a useful tool in the training of nursing students; however, few studies have examined the use of this method in oncology nursing education. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an oncology nursing simulation program that used standardized patients on knowledge, nursing performance ability, and satisfaction among nursing students. METHODS This study used a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The experimental group (n=25) participated in an 8-hour oncology nursing simulation program that consisted of a lecture (2 hours) and a four-session simulation program(6 hours). The control group (n=29) received case-based learning (6 hours) and a lecture (2 hours). Knowledge level was assessed with a 33-item knowledge assessment multiple-choice questionnaire. Nursing performance ability was assessed with a nursing performance ability checklist. Educational satisfaction was evaluated using the 12-item Course Satisfaction Evaluation tool. Data were collected from June to July of 2012 and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and repeated measures analysis of variance. RESULTS The experimental group showed significantly higher nursing performance ability and satisfaction compared with the control group. Knowledge of oncology nursing increased in both the experimental and control groups. CONCLUSION An oncology nursing simulation program was more effective than case-based learning in improving nursing student performance and was found to produce high satisfaction.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of using aroma essential oils on allergic symptoms, eosinophils and quality of life related to rhinitis for university students with allergic rhinitis. METHODS A randomized controlled experimental design was used. There were 37 participants in the experimental group, and 30 in the control group. The experimental group applied the essential oils four times a day in the nasal area as well as using inhalation of the oils each night for four weeks. Rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire was composed of 28 questions regarding seven areas associated with allergic reactions. The data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. RESULTS Rhinitis symptom index, nose itching (p<.001), sneezing (p<.001), watery rhinorrhea (p<.001), and nose congestion (p<.001) all had significant difference for the participants in the treatment group. Further there were significant differences in eosinophils both for measured time and interaction (p<.001). For the quality of life related to rhinitis, the results showed significant difference (p<.001). CONCLUSION Using aroma therapy by applying essential oils turned out to be an effective nursing intervention that can be utilized in the easing of allergic symptom and the decrease of eosinophils, causing improvement in the quality of life related to rhinitis.

PURPOSE This study was to develop and test the resilience scale for Korean nursing college students. METHODS The initial 82 items (7 factors) were developed through literature review and student interviews. Items were reduced to 55 items through content validity test by 5 experts and face validity tests by 20 nursing students. The preliminary Resilience Scale for Korean Nursing Students (RS_KNS) was administered to 302 nursing students of 4 universities in Chungnam. Data were analyzed using item analysis, factor analysis, Pearson correlation coefficients, and Cronbach's alpha. RESULTS Twenty-four items were selected for the final scale. Seven factors evolved from the factor analysis, which explained 61.9% of the total variance. The internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha was .84 and reliability of the subscales ranged from .60 to .77. CONCLUSION The resilience scale for Korean nursing college students demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability. It can be used to assess the resilience of nursing college students and is expected to get utilized in teaching and research.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a simulation based clinical reasoning practice program on clinical competence in nursing students. The program was based on the theoretical frameworks of simulation models and experiential learning theory. METHODS The program consisted of eight scenarios which includes three main symptoms (abdominal pain, changes in mental status, dyspnea), for improvement of clinical competencies in nursing students. A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used for evaluation of the effects of the program. Fifty-two junior nursing students in Y University participated in the experimental group (n=25) or control group (n=27). Critical thinking was measured using a self-administered questionnaire. Clinical judgment and clinical performance were measured by a rater using the Rubric. Descriptive analysis, t-test, Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon signed rank test was used for data analyses. RESULTS Clinical judgment and clinical performance increased in the experimental group, but there were no significant differences in critical thinking. CONCLUSION Results indicate that the program developed in this study is a useful strategy to enhance clinical judgment and clinical performance in nursing students. However, the program did not significantly enhance critical thinking disposition, and further study is needed to measure integrated clinical competence including critical thinking skills.

Each group's fatigue level, blood lipids and body composition before and after the experiment were compared and analyzed. RESULTS: Total fatigue and total cholesterol decreased significantly in the power walking group compared to the walking group and the control group. Weight decreased significantly in the power walking group compared to the control group, and percentage of body fat decreased significantly in both the power walking group and the walking group compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: When power walking exercise was used with overweight Taeumin students, fatigue, blood lipid, weight and percentage of body fat decreased significantly.
PURPOSE This study was conducted to develop a simulation-based education course and to evaluate the results after the application for second year nursing students. METHODS: This study was a non-equivalent control pre-post design. Based on the clinical situation scenarios about patients with COPD and MI, a total of two simulation-based learning modules was developed. Pretest and posttest was conducted to evaluate the difference in critical thinking disposition, problem solving, and clinical competence between two groups of 102 students for the experimental group, 2007 and 90 students for the control group, 2006. The experimental group conducted a clinical performance evaluation in the final test, on December 10, 2007. RESULTS: In the experimental group, knowledge related to learning objectives was significantly increased and core intervention was performed almost exactly, but the same result was not observed in domains of analysis of laboratory test, and nursing education for patients. Self-evaluated clinical competence and problem solving level were significantly more improved in the experimental group than control group, but critical thinking disposition level wasn't. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, a simulation-based education course needs to utilize self-directed learning module like computer-based learning through web contents and MicroSim and video productions for improving nursing students' critical thinking.
