The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a neonatal nursing practice program for nursing students on students' stress, self-efficacy, and confidence. Methods: A 1-group pre-and post-study design was used. The participants consisted of 64 nursing students who were in a pediatric nursing clinical practicum at a nursing college in Seoul from September 2015 to May 2016. The program consisted of 3 stages-orientation, practice, and debriefing-and was conducted for 3 hours during a 2-week period of the pediatric nursing clinical practicum. The dependent variables were neonatal nursing practice stress, self-efficacy, and confidence. Data were analyzed using the paired t-test, the Pearson correlation coefficient, the x 2 test, and descriptive statistics with SPSS for Windows version 22.0. Results: The neonatal nursing practice program was effective at decreasing clinical practice-related stress and increasing confidence and self-efficacy regarding neonatal nursing practice. Conclusion: The neonatal nursing practice program may effectively promote the integration of theoretical knowledge and practice. In the future, we propose to develop various educational programs that reinforce basic nursing skills for neonates as part of an effective pediatric nursing clinical practicum.

Objectives: This study was to investigate the relationship between experiences of violence in clinical practicum among nursing students and their career attitude maturity. Methods: The subjects were 200 nursing students in G and S cities. Data were collected from July to August 2019 a self-administration questionnaire using Google-Form. Data were analyzed utilizing the descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Scheffe's test. Results: Nursing students who experienced violence directly during clinical practice are 48.5%, and the most common type of violence was verbal violence. Nurses accounted for the largest number of direct violence offenders, while guardians and patients were the most frequent offenders. The feeling after the experience of violence was the most 'unpleasant' . Experienced violence groups showed a significantly higher score in the objective of career attitudes and the significantly lower score in the certainty of the maturity of career attitudes. Conclusions: It is proposed that the program considers the correlation between direct and indirect violence experienced during the future clinical practice of nursing university students and clinical practice stress and career attitude maturity and to verify the effectiveness of the program.

The purpose of this study was to identify the perception and attitude of the passive euthanasia and Do-Not-Resuscitate of nursing college students based on the completion of bioethics education and to provide an opportunity for consideration. Methods: Participants consisted of 253 nursing students (bioethics education group = 118, non-bioethics education group = 135). Data were collected from October 1 to November 30, 2019. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS Win 22.0 program. Results: There were significant differences in perception of passive euthanasia between the bioethics education group and the non-bioethics group. But there were no significant differences in attitudes to passive euthanasia, perception and attitudes to DNR between the bioethics education group and the non-bioethics group. Conclusions: These results suggest that the systematic development of euthanasia and DNR educational programs nursing students will enable them to have a positive awareness and attitude toward self-determination of death.
