Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the effects of a simulation practicum using standardized patients on nursing student's communication skills, critical thinking disposition and clinical competency. Methods: A one group pretest-posttest design was used. The participants consisted of 45 fourth year nursing students at G university. This study developed 2 scenarios for patients with diabetes mellitus and the simulation was conducted for an average of approximately 14 hours. Data were analyzed with descriptive analysis, t-tests and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ using SPSS 21.0 program. Results: Communication skills, clinical competency and self-confidence for diabetic care were statistically improved; however, critical thinking disposition was not improved compared to that of pretest. Conclusion: Simulation practicum using standardized patients may be effective in enhancing communication skills, clinical competency and self-confidence for diabetic care among nursing students. In addition, standardized patients simulation program to promote the critical thinking needs to be developed and further research related to standardized patients simulation is in need.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing competency for Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDRO) infection control in nursing students with clinical practice experience. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from May 2020 to August 2020 by including 175 nursing students in two nursing schools located in Daegu. The data were collected using self-report questionnaires. The data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program with descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and multiple regression. Results: The competency of MDRO infection control was 3.41.±0.38. The attitude to patient safety management and - knowledge of MDRO infection control were 3.81±0.47 and 16.98±3.02, respectively. Factors influencing the competency of MDRO infection control were perceived benefit(β=.38, p<.001), knowledge toward MDRO infection control(β=.21, p=.001), attitude in patient safety management(β=.17, p=.028), and perceived barrier(β=-.15, p=.029) with an explanatory power of 34.2%. Conclusion: A systemic education program regarding MDRO infection control is needed for nursing students to provide knowledge related to MDRO infection control and help establish positive beliefs toward MDRO infection control and attitudes in patient safety management.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of clinical competency in nursing graduates and clinical nurses. The total of 234 subjects returned the questionnaire with 95% of response rates. The subjects of the study constituted of 195 nursing graduates and 39 clinical nurses. Self report questionnaires were used to measure the clinical competence of nursing graduates and clinical nurses. This instrument had four dimensions of competency : client and health need, nursing process, professional role, and nursing interventions. The data were analyzed by utilizing SPSSWIN and the results were as follows. 1) The mean score of the nursing intervention dimension was the most with 3.82 compared to professional role dimension(3.06), nursing process(3.03), client and health need dimension(2.94) in nursing graduates. 2) The mean score of the nursing intervention dimension was the most with 3.04 compared to client and health need dimension(2.82), professional role dimension(2.81), nursing process(2.77) in clinical nurses. And all of these dimensions' scores were lower than the nursing graduates' scores. 3) The mean scores of nursing process (t=3.76, p<.001) and professional role dimensions(t=3.53, p<.001) in nursing graduates were significantly higher than clinical nurses' scores. Our suggestions based on the results of this study is : 1. It is recommended to repeat the same designed study in large sample of clinical nurses for further study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the levels of disaster preparedness competency in public health workers and identify influential factors on disaster preparedness competency. Methods: The data was collected through self-report questionnaires from a convenience sample of 281 public health workers in 2014 in Korea. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression. Results: The mean disaster preparedness competency score was 2.77 and the mean disaster educational needs score was 4.01. Disaster preparedness competency had a statistically significant difference by gender, position, experience of disaster education in workplace, and experience of BLS education. As a result of the multiple regression analysis, disaster preparedness competency accounted for 11.6% of the variance by gender, experience of disaster education in workplace, and experience of BLS education. Conclusion: The results of this study reveal that gender, strengthening education of disasters in the workplace, and education of BLS should be taken into consideration and integrated when developing an effective educational program in order to enhance disaster preparedness competency in public health workers.

This study examined effect of preceptorship on clinical education of 39 senior nursing students. Competency scores and satisfaction with preceptors scores were investigated. Competency scores of the students before the clinical education (pre-competency scores) were compared with the competency scores after the clinical education (post-competency scores), and satisfactory scores were also examined after the clinical education. Study results showed that the total post-competency scores were increased compared to the total pre-competency scores, and this increment was statistically significant. However, analyzing sub-domains of the competency scores indicated only the nursing-skill domain scores were increased while the scores of interpersonal domain and management domain were increased but statistically insignificant. Satisfaction with preceptors scores were also more than the average scores reflecting the students were satisfied with their preceptors generally. The students, However, grade low in the preceptors' intellectual ability while their professional and interpersonal ability were rather satisfied. This study indicated preceptors should make more efforts to teach interpersonal and management skill and increase their intellectual ability. This study recommended a systematic reward system for the preceptors to increase the motivation to teach students is needed.

Purpose: This study was aimed to find out the effect of core competency and teaching style on preceptor self-efficacy among preceptors. Methods: One hundred twelve nurses working at four university hospitals with previous preceptor experience participated in the survey. The data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression. Results: The preceptors used 'judgment-initiative' teaching style most frequently, and reported the highest scores in the role model dimension of core competency. There were significant positive relations between age (r=.266, p=.005), clinical experience (r=.274, p=.004), preceptorship experience (r=.204, p=.032), core competency (r=.593, p<.001) and preceptor self- efficacy. But preceptor self-efficacy was not significantly different depending on the teaching style (F=0.72, p=.54). The most predictive factors of the preceptor self-efficacy were core competency and teaching style (judgment)(F=31.849, p<.001). The explained variance for preceptor self-efficacy was 35.9% in the model. Conclusion: The preceptor self-efficacy is essential for the preceptors' successful teaching experience and the clinical competency improvement of the entry level nurses. Management for an effective preceptor training program needs to focus on the improvement of core competency of preceptors, which will lead to strengthen their self-efficacy.
