A flipped learning simulation practice is composed of two parts. First, it involves learning a practical subject in advance via video in a place other than the classroom, then performing a simulation practice consisting of pre-learning, simulation, and debriefing sections. This study was performed to determine and confirm the factors affecting the level of academic achievement of nursing college students in a flipped learning simulation practice. A cross-sectional descriptive design was used. The participants were 160 nursing students who had experience of a flipped learning simulation practice in a nursing college in South Korea. The factors measured were the general characteristics of the participants, the participants’ academic achievement, the analysis ability of the flipped learning class, the participants’ self-directed learning preparation, the participants’ self-efficacy, and the participants’ learning satisfaction. Data were collected from September to November, 2019. As a result of the analysis, we found that the factor that had the greatest influence on the academic achievement of nursing students was self-efficacy, followed by gender, flipped learning education experience, learning satisfaction, age, and the analysis ability of the flipped learning class. In the nursing practicum, nursing educators need to pay attention to the use of flipped learning simulation practice and the factors affecting the academic achievement of nursing college students. In flipped learning simulation practice, specific interventions and strategies are required to improve the academic achievement of nursing college students.

Nursing is a respect for dignity and treating every person equally. Qualifying competent and ethical nurses requires the incorporation of a professional code of ethics with clinical nursing practice. However, no study was conducted on the relationship between professional ethics and clinical nursing practice. Therefore this study aimed to determine correlation between professional ethics and pediatrics clinical practice from an achievement perspective. Accordingly, cross-sectional study design was conducted at Mizan-Tepi University using nursing students’ academic achievements at professional ethics and pediatric practice. Collected data were entered into Epi info 7. SPSS version 21.0 was used to calculate spearman’s rho correlation ( rs) and coefficient of determination ( R2) at P  < .05. A total of 316 study participants comprising of 209 (66.14%) male and 107 (33.86%) female nursing students included in the current study. Nursing students’ academic achievements at professional ethics was significantly and positively associated with achievements at pediatrics clinical practice ( rs  = 0.4-0.6), P < .001. Linear regression results revealed 25% to 26.7% coefficient determination for regular students and 18% to 22.9% for summer nursing students. To sum up, there was a significant positive association between achievements of students at professional ethics and pediatrics clinical practice. Therefore increasing students’ academic achievement in professional ethics can further improve their achievements at pediatrics clinical practice. However, academic achievement in professional ethics explained 22.35% of the variability in achievements at pediatric clinical practice. 77.65% of the variability in pediatrics clinical practice was due to other factors that deserve another study.
