Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the operation trend of the Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC), developed by Emergency Nurses Association and run by Korea Armed Forces Nursing Academy in Korea since year 2010. Methods: This study analyzed class time and general characteristics of participants on TNCC-provider, instructor, and provider renewal opened in Korea. Results: Until 2019, a total of 40 provider courses, 10 instructor courses, and 3 provider renewal courses were held. The provider course was held three to five times a year, with a total of 719 attendees, 55.4% of military nurses and 44.6% of civil nurses. The instructor course was held once a year, and there were a total of 37 attendees. The provider renewal process was held three times so far, and 28 nurses completed the course. Conclusion: It was not possible to analyze the trend in educational content changes due to copyright issues. This study is meaningful in analyzing operational trends of TNCC in Korea for the first time. The processed data would contribute to improving the future TNCC, and provide implications for development direction of trauma nursing education in Korea.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of nursing professionalism, resilience, and self-leadership, which were known as nurses' internal resources, on clinical competency among nursing officers. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, recruiting 191 nursing officers from military hospitals with at least 6 months of clinical experience as study subjects. Data were collected from September to December 2021 using the structured questionnaires and instruments. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The mean score for the clinical competency was 90.34±9.24 out of 100. The multiple regression analysis showed that influencing factors of the clinical competency were ‘higher resilience’ (β=0.28, p=<.001) and 'day work' (β=-2.92, p=.027). The model explained 34% of the variation in clinical competency of nursing officers. Conclusion: These findings suggest that interventions should be focused to internal resources such as resilience to improve clinical competency of nursing officers. The results of the study may be used as basic data for developing strategies to ultimately improve nursing services of military hospital.

Purpose: This study is aimed at preparing basic data that needed for improving Team-Based Learning (TBL) teaching strategies for Korea Armed Forces Nursing Academy Cadets. For that purpose, this study investigated cadets' TBL experiences in core curriculum. Methods: This study was a Colaizzi's phenomenological qualitative study using individual in-depth interviews, data were collected from 7 cadets with experiences in taking Adult Nursing Classes using TBL in nursing care for patients with cardiovascular disorder. Results: The 6 categories of 'Fulfilling one's responsibility in class preparation', 'Being engaged in discussion only for better academic grades', 'Becoming a creator of collective intelligence', 'Being self-directed and fair in-class participation', 'Never-ending relationship with a team member', and 'Being uncertain for not having core knowledge in cardiovascular nursing' were obtained. Conclusion: Contextual uniqueness in which KAFNA cadets live as well as common phenomena that usual TBL learners experience have been explored. This study has value as a scientific basis to develop educational strategies for faculty who hold TBL classes at KAFNA in the future.
