Purpose
This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based pediatric medication safety competence (PMSC) virtual simulation program and evaluate its effectiveness among nursing students.
Methods
This quasi-experimental study used a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design and was conducted in December 2025. The AI-based PMSC virtual simulation program was developed based on Kolb’s experiential learning theory, following its 4-stage cycle of concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. Participants were 48 third-year nursing students in South Korea who were assigned to either the experimental group (n=24) or the control group (n=24) through a nonrandomized allocation procedure. The experimental group participated in the PMSC virtual simulation program. Outcomes included PMSC, medication calculation confidence (MCC), Simulation Task Load Index (SIM-TLX), and learning immersion (LI). Data were collected before and after the intervention using validated instruments, and statistical tests were used to evaluate program effectiveness.
Results
Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed significant improvement in PMSC (t=2.48, p=.017). No significant between-group differences were observed in MCC (t=−0.87, p=.389) or LI (t=0.97, p=.336). In addition, SIM-TLX scores decreased significantly from pretest to posttest in the experimental group (t=−2.61, p=.016).
Conclusion
The AI-based PMSC virtual simulation program may help strengthen PMSC among nursing students and may be suitable for use in pediatric nursing education. Future research should refine the program to better address individual learning needs and integrate complementary simulation-based strategies into pediatric medication nursing education.

Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a virtual reality (VR) program and simulation training on nursing students’ ability to measure vital signs in children.
Methods
This mixed-methods study, which included a randomized controlled trial and a qualitative study, was conducted from June 12 to November 15, 2023. Forty-four nursing students from a university in South Korea were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. The experimental group first participated in a VR program focused on measuring vital signs in children, followed by a high-fidelity simulation training. The control group received the training in the reverse order. The participants’ knowledge, confidence in practice, and satisfaction with the practice were analyzed using the repeated-measures analysis of variance. VR learning experiences were analyzed through qualitative content analysis.
Results
Both the experimental and control groups showed significant increases in knowledge and confidence in practice after the interventions compared to baseline. However, there were no significant differences in changes in knowledge, confidence in practice, and satisfaction with practice between the two groups. Three themes were identified from the nursing students’ experiences with VR learning: ‘realistic learning training,’ ‘overcoming learning limitations,’ and ‘perceiving drawbacks.’
Conclusion
The VR program was as effective as high-fidelity simulation training in improving nursing students’ ability to measure children’s vital signs. Moreover, VR program offered additional benefits in addressing limitations of simulation-based learning. These findings suggest that VR program can serve as a valuable educational tool to enhance pediatric nursing skills.

Purpose
This study aimed to explore tutoring experiences related to a high-risk newborn care simulation among nurses and nursing students to derive insights into developing effective neonatal nursing practice.
Methods
A qualitative content-analysis study was conducted in March 2023. Data were collected through narrative surveys and focus group interviews with four neonatal intensive care unit nurses and 12 senior nursing students participating in a 1-day high-risk newborn care simulation program. A content analysis was performed on the collected data.
Results
Three categories (“efforts to foster a sense of presence,” “efforts to promote positive awareness of the neonatal intensive care unit,” and “establishing one’s role as an educator”) and six subcategories were derived from the nurses’ responses. Three categories (“growth through a realistic virtual simulation,” “improved learning effects,” and “hope for continued development”) and six subcategories were derived from the nursing students’ responses.
Conclusion
The nursing students experienced realistic practice with their nurse tutors in the high-risk newborn care simulation, which helped them form their professional identity as future nurses. After tutoring, the nurses’ perceptions of nursing students changed positively, which affected their teaching methods.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a virtual reality simulation and a blended simulation on nursing care for children with asthma through an evaluation of critical thinking, problem-solving processes, and clinical performance in both education groups before and after the educational intervention.
Methods
The participants were 48 nursing students. The experimental group (n=22) received a blended simulation, combining a virtual reality simulation and a high-fidelity simulation, while the control group (n=26) received only a virtual reality simulation. Data were collected from February 25 to 28, 2019 and analyzed using SPSS version 25 for Windows.
Results
The pretest and posttest results of each group showed statistically significant improvements in critical thinking, problem-solving processes, and clinical performance. In a comparison of the results of the two education groups, the only statistically significant difference was found for critical thinking.
Conclusion
Simulation-based education in child nursing has continued to involve high-fidelity simulations that are currently run in many programs. However, incorporating a new type of blended simulation, combining a virtual reality simulation and a high-fidelity simulation, into the nursing curriculum may contribute to the further development of nursing education.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to explore nursing students’ experiences of debriefing after simulation-based learning and to obtain fundamental data to support the development of effective teaching strategies.
Methods
Sixty-seven nursing students participated in this study from April to May, 2017. This was a descriptive study analyzing the content of students’ descriptions of structured questions in 3 stages (description, analysis, and application) based on recorded videos.
Results
The description stage was classified into 3 categories for problem recognition, 4 categories for the nursing plan, and 6 categories for the nursing intervention. The analysis stage was classified into 6 categories for satisfactory practice, 3 categories for experience and 4 categories for what they learned through practice. The application stage was classified into 5 categories, that were to be mastered, and 6 categories, that were important to recognize.
Conclusion
This study succeeded in charaterizing learners’ experiences of debriefing. During the debriefing, students watched recorded videos, and we found that self-evaluation through structured questionnaires could be a very effective way to strengthen students’ core competencies. Our content analysis of the debriefing is expected to contribute to the development of effective strategies in simulation-based education for students and nurses.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to develop a model for handoff education for nursing students based on simulation using video and to identify educational effects of a simulated situation in pediatric care units.
Methods
Data were collected from May 1 to 30, 2016. Participants were 84 senior nursing students in Seoul (video group: 43, simulation group: 41). Both groups were given a lecture and pre-briefing on handoff education. The simulation group had nursing practice on resolving health issues for respiratory distress using a high-fidelity baby simulator. The video group watched a video recording of a scenario based simulation, and used a summarized handoff situation to practice patient handoff to another student.
Results
There was no significant difference between the two groups for handoff self-confidence, problem solving ability, handoff competence (self-assessment of students), or learning satisfaction. Self-confidence increased significantly in both groups. Handoff competency evaluated by the instructor was higher in the video group compared to the simulation group (t=2.33, p=.022).
Conclusion
Nursing student education for handoff practice utilizing a video in the pediatric unit was more cost effective. Therefore, it could be a useful educational method for students in learning patient handoff practices and helpful for related research.

Purpose
This study was designed to explore nursing students’ knowledge, attitudes and intention to report cases of child abuse.
Methods
A descriptive research design was used with a convenience sample of 202 nursing students. After explaining the purpose of the study, participants who signed the consent form were asked to complete a self-descriptive questionnaire, which included the Child Abuse Intension Scale (CARIS).
Results
The number of correct answers for knowledge of child abuse and the law was 7.0 /13. The mean scores were, for attitude toward childrearing belief and discipline, 17.1 ± 5.2, for punishment and culpability of offender or victim, 24.6 ± 4.1, for professional responsibility, 30.5±5.1, and for perceived behavioral control, 25.3±5.0. The intended reporting behavior differed significantly by severity of abuse. Factors influencing the intention to report child abuse were attitude towards punishment of parents, professional responsibility, and perceived behavioral control (R² = .133).
Conclusion
On the basis of our finding, developing education programs to help nursing students detect child abuse and improve reporting rates is important. Thus, we suggests that nursing students be provided with educational protocol for detection and reporting of child abuse.

Purpose
This study was conducted to investigate nursing students’ knowledge and beliefs about Kangaroo care (KC).
Methods
A cross-sectional descriptive design was used. Undergraduate students enrolled in departments of nursing (n=322) from three universities in D city participated. Knowledge and beliefs about KC were measured using the Kangaroo Care Questionnaire (KCQ).
Results
The overall level of nursing students’ knowledge about KC was very low with a mean score of 6.9 out of 17. The mean score for nursing students’ beliefs about KC was 87.4 out of 100, indicating relatively positive beliefs. The students who had both education and exposure to KC had higher scores for knowledge and more positive beliefs about KC compared to students with no experience or exposure to KC. There was a positive correlation between knowledge and beliefs about KC (r = .371, p < .001).
Conclusion
The results suggest that there is a need to develop educational programs for nursing students in order to increase their knowledge and develop positive beliefs about KC.
