ABSTRACT

Purpose:This descriptive study aimed to evaluate AFNA cadets' perceived readiness upon graduation by utilizing READI-Korean version. Methods:To assess AFNA cadets' perceived readiness, the self-reporting READI-Korean version was administered to 93 AFNA senior cadets 5 days before graduation. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics via SPSS WIN 12.0. Results:The perceived readiness of the subject was 3.46(±0.43) on 5point scale. The readiness of the each dimension of readiness was as follows:the readiness of clinical nursing competency was 3.37, operational nursing competency was 3.41, soldier and survival skill was 3.46, personal/physical/psychosocial readiness was 3.57, leadership and administrative support was 3.35, and group integration and identification was 3.93. Some of the competencies, however, including ‘Care for life- threatening injuries’, ‘Care for nuclear- biological-chemical injuries’, ‘Recognize tension pneumothorax’, ‘Use of field ventilator’, ‘Competent with deployable medical system’, and ‘Familarity with standard army communication equipment’ showed less than 3 point. Conclusion:The perceived readiness statues of the AFNA cadets upon graduation were moderately ready. The subjects who had will to apply to future oversea-deployment reported higher level of readiness than the subject who do not. Some competencies which showed less than 3 point need to be educated and trained immediately.
