Background: Nursing educators commonly adopt simulations to educate nursing students and evaluate their clinical thinking, clinical reasoning, and clinical judgment. We aimed to determine the effectiveness of established nursing care simulations by evaluating, through video, a select number of nursing students in scenarios that simulate nursing care for Increased Intracranial Pressure (IICP) patients. Methods: The participants were students in their senior year at a nursing college in South Korea in 2018. We adopted a mixed-method design by first conducting a nonequivalent control group pre-test/post-test research design, then analyzing the experimental group’s simulation videos. The participants consisted of 38 students in the experimental group and 39 students in the control group, and each group consisted of 9 teams. This study measured the level of anxiety (Cronbach’s α=0.780), critical thinking (Cronbach’s α=0.895), performance (Cronbach’s α=0.927), theoretical knowledge (Cronbach’s α=0.970), and analyzed clinical judgments by directly reviewing video from the experimental group. We used a mixed methods appraisal tool (MMAT) version 2018 as its research checklist. Results: Confidence (P=0.000), theoretical knowledge (P=0.000), clinical performance (P=0.017) indicated statistically significant increases in the experimental group. We subsequently identified 10 clinical judgment processes, including “Identify the patient’s condition” to “Reassess the condition after symptoms improve” by analyzing the simulation videos. Conclusion: Developing a simulation for nursing care is effective in honing students’ clinical judgment and enhancing their theoretical knowledge, confidence, and clinical performance.

This study concerns on the effect of peer review on EFL students’ writing skill in writing nursing care documentation. The aims of this study are to investigate the possible effectiveness of the peer review technique to increase the quality of nursing students’ writing skill and to see whether this method motivates student to write. The method of the study is quantitative method. The participants were 78 nursing students in the fourth semester of CendekiaUtama Health College. They were randomly categorized into two experimental and control groups. In the experimental group were providing with an additional peer review instruction offered by O’Muirheartaigh (1990) including the provision of constructive feedback to their peers and evaluating and correcting the peer’s performances. They were paired for peer review, conferencing and exchanging their Nursing care documentation with those of their peers. The reviewers had to correct, evaluate and respond those Nursing care documentation. While, in the control group were traditionally handled by teacher who assigned them homework and correct their Nursing care documentation by themselves.The experiment was run over two month. The data were collected using questionnaire, pre – test and post – test for language proficiency and writing skill, peer response sheet, writing criteria and guidelines sheet. The result of the study indicated that p-score is 0,000 <0,05, So that Ho is Rejected and Ha is Accepted  which means there is difference of Pre Test with Post Test score.  It is known that statistic t - arithmetic is -6.202 which means the score of pre - test is smaller than post - test with point score 6.202. It indicated that the writing of the students in the experimental group improved more than those in control group. Also, those engaged in peer review method were motivated to write more and enjoy writing. It was concluded that peer review provides learners with an authentic audience, increase the students’ motivation for writing and enables them to receive different views on their writing.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of simulation-based education on nursing knowledge, anxiety, and clinical performance ability in nursing students before their first clinical practice. Methods: Third-year university students who had not yet entered their first clinical practice were recruited to participate in the study. Nineteen students formed the experimental group and participated in simulation-based education for 7 sessions. The 19 students in the control group were provided with clinical practice orientation in the form of traditional lectures. Outcome measures assessed nursing knowledge, clinical practice anxiety, and clinical performance ability. Data were collected before and immediately after the simulation-based education and after six weeks of clinical practice. Results: Nursing knowledge and clinical anxiety were not statistically significant between the groups. However, there was a significant improvement in the clinical performance abilities of the experimental group. Among the subcategories, the ability to apply the nursing process and the ability to educate and cooperate were shown to maintain significant differences from the control group by the end of the six weeks of clinical practice. Conclusion: The simulation prior to nursing students' first clinical practice could be useful to improve clinical performance ability. Nursing educators should consider building programs to reduce anxiety and improve performance ability through simulations.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate and compare the perception of stressors by nursing students before and after a high-fidelity clinical simulation or conventional laboratory practice class. Method: This is a randomized clinical trial conducted with 52 nursing students. Both groups had theoretical classes about cardiothoracic physical examination, followed by practice class in skill laboratory. In addition, the experimental group took part in a high-fidelity simulation scenario. Stressors were evaluated before and after class, with the application of KEZKAK questionnaire. Results: The experimental group was significantly more worried about six factors related to lack of competence and to interpersonal relationships (p < 0.05), while the control group was significantly more worried about being in contact with suffering (p = 0.0315). Conclusion: The simulation affects students’ perception of stressors and promotes their self-evaluation and critical thinking regarding the responsibility that comes with their learning.

Nursing education includes the area of pharmacological therapies. Nursing educators may benefit from having students think like a nurse related to medication administration. The increased use of prescription medication and the complexities of medication administration present the need for clinical judgment. Simulation is used as an educational strategy to provide the opportunity for students to practice safe interventions which require the use of judgment to notice changes and interpret and intervene correctly. The comparison of low-fidelity and high-fidelity simulation experience in a study sample (n = 126) is examined for the effect on clinical judgment. The Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric (LCJR) is used to score students after the simulation related to medication administration. Two of the items in the LCJR, noticing deviations (p = .35) and self analysis (p = .32), are positively affected by the level of fidelity of the simulation. A diverse, nontraditional student study sample demonstrated consistency in LCJR scoring. The outcome of increased clinical judgment may improve safety and nursing care in medication administration among nursing students.
