ABSTRACT

This study examined the effects of a simulation-based integrated clinical practice program on problem-solving competence, critical thinking and clinical competence among nursing students in Korea. This research used a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. We developed a simulation-based integrated clinical practice program taking 3 hours per session, once per week for 14 weeks. 193 undergraduate nursing students participated in the study including 86 in the experimental group and 107 in the control group. Data were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 for t-test and paired t-test. While problem-solving competency and clinical competence were significantly improved in the experimental group, no difference was found in critical thinking. Simulation-based integrated clinical practice program could be utilized as a learning strategy for improving problem-solving and clinical competency of nursing students.
