The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of simulation-based practice and clinical practice on nursing students' critical thinking disposition and nursing process confidence. This study is a quasi-experimental design using the non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest only design, targeting 103, 4th grade(51=control group, 52=experimental group) in the Department of Nursing at D University. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program, and the main research results are as follows. Students who experienced simulation-based practice showed significant improvement in critical thinking tendencies(t=-3.28, p=.001) compared to those who experienced clinical practice. There was no significant difference in nursing process confidence (t=-1.78, p=.079), but it was significantly higher in actual application, collaborative contsistency, and nursing contsistency. As a result, There were no significant difference in some, but it was contfirmed that simulation-based practice improved the critical thinking disposition and nursing process confidence in of nursing students. In addition to clinical practice, it is considered necessary to study simulation-based practice using repetitive practice and standardized patients in a free simulation practice environment.

In this study, we developed a virtual artist play lesson model using gamification concepts and AI-generated art programs to foster creative thinking in freshman art majors. Targeting first-year students in the Digital Media Art Department at Sichuan Film & Television University in China, this course aims to alleviate fear of artistic creation and enhance problem-solving abilities. The educational model consists of four stages: persona creation, creative writing, text visualization, and virtual exhibitions. Through persona creation, students established their artist identities, and by introducing game-like elements into writing experiences, they discovered their latent creativity. Using AI-generated art programs for text visualization, students gained confidence in their creations, and in the virtual exhibitions, they were able to enhance their self-esteem as artists by appreciating and evaluating each other's works. This educational model offers a new approach to promoting creative thinking and problem-solving skills while increasing learner engagement and interest. Based on these research findings, we expect that by developing and implementing educational strategies that cultivate creative thinking, more students will grow their artistic capacities and creativity, benefiting not only art majors but also students from various fields.

This study was conducted to confirm the relationship between perception of patient safety culture, critical thinking propensity, and practice of standard precaution among nurses in small and medium-sized hospitals. The research subjects were nurses from three small and medium-sized hospitals located in S City and C City who understood the purpose of the study and agreed to participate. The final study subjects were 158 nurses. The data were collected from January 5, 2020 to March 31, 2020, and descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation, regression analysis, and Sobel test of the collected data were performed using SPSS/WIN26.0 Program. As a result of the study, nurses' practice of standard precaution showed a significant positive correlation with perception of patient safety culture (r=.524, p<.001) and critical thinking disposition (r=.471, p<.001). Critical thinking propensity was found to have a partial mediating effect in the relationship between perception of patient safety culture and practice of standard precaution. Based on the results of this study, repeated research can be conducted in the future, and can be used to develop and apply educational programs that can improve nurses' practice of standard precaution.

This research was a descriptive study to investigate the effects of nursing students' biomedical ethics, and critical thinking on attitudes toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment. The Participant were 367 nursing students and date were collected from November until December of 2017. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 21.0. There was a significant positive correlation between attitudes toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment. Also, the influencing factor on attitudes toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment were biomedical ethics, academic grade, subjective health status, and personality types. These factors explained 36.6% of variance. In conclusion, the higher the awareness of biomedical ethics, the more positive attitude toward the withdrawal of lifelong treatment. Based on the results above, we need to develop diverse and systematic educational programs for nursing students.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of computer attitudes such as anxiety, confidence, preference, usefulness, and computer literacy on their critical thinking ability, targeting college students at unspecified university universities. The period of data collection was from January 10, 2020 to January 17, 2020. A total of 213 people participated in the study. For data analysis, SPSS 18.0 was used for frequency analysis, Pearson correlation, x2 square, and simple regression analysis. As a result of the analysis, the difference of interests under the statistical significance level among general characteristics was Gender (x²=55.7^***, p<0.001), Age (x²=407.5^***, p<0.001), Resident (x²=127.5^***, p<0.001) Family (x²=289.4^***, p<0.001). In the simple regression analysis, computer liking (t=2.102, p<0.05) and computer use ability affected Truth seeking (t=-6.319, p<0.01), computer use ability was affecting analyticity (t=-5.630, p<0.01), computer use ability was affecting systematicity (t=-2.545, p<0.05), computer use ability was affecting maturity under statistical significance (t=-2.583, p<0.05). In conclusion, this study suggests that computer liking and computer use ability affect the sub-factor components of critical thinking disposition, truth seeking, analyticity, systematicity, and maturity, therefore the emphasis of this study is to emphasize that it is desirable to use the computer as a medium of learning based on computer literacy rather than worrying about excessive computer use.
