Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning of clinical practice experience, including web-based simulation practice, in the context of the corona pandemic era. As for the research method, data were collected through a focus group interview on the experience of web-based simulation practice and subsequent clinical practice and analyzed by content analysis method. The contents of the two interview groups were analyzed, and the results were divided into 2 components, 7 topic groups, and 18 topics. The first component, the clinical practice, was divided into four topic groups: 'The anxious start of practice in a pandemic situation', 'Direct experience through various cases', 'Training opportunities to prepare as a future nurse', and 'The burden of performance and limited experience'. The second component, the web-based simulation practice, was divided into three topic groups: 'Unfinished nursing practice', 'Indirect experience of clinical nursing in virtual space', and 'Requirement of an integrated practice model'. Clinical practice is a very important part of the nursing education curriculum. However, the nursing that students can perform in the field is very limited. Therefore, to supplement the shortcomings of observation-oriented clinical practice and to increase the quality of practical education, it is necessary to consider a hybrid education model including web-based simulation practice.

본 연구의 목적은 코로나 팬데믹 시기에 웹기반 시뮬레이션 실습을 포함한 임상 실습 경험의 의미를 파악하는 것이다. 웹기반 시뮬레이션 실습과 임상 실습 경험을 포커스그룹 인터뷰를 통하여 자료를 수집하고 내용분석 방법에 따라 분석하였다. 포커스 그룹에 의한 심충 면담내용을 분석한 결과, 2개의 구성요소와 7개의 주제 묶음, 18개의 주제로 나타났다. 첫 번째 구성요소로, 임상 실습은 4개의 주제 묶음으로 '팬데믹 상황에서의 불안한 실습의 출발', '다양한 사례에 의한 직접 경험', 미래 간호사로서 준비하는 훈련 기회', ' 수행의 부담감 및 제한적 경험'이었다. 두 번째 구성요소인 웹기반 시뮬레이션 실습은 3개의 주제 묶음으로 '미완성의 간호실습', '가상공간에서의 임상 간호에 대한 간접경험', '통합 실습 모델의 요구'로 분류되었다. 간호교육과정에서 임상 실습은 매우 중요한 부분이나 학생들이 실제로 현장에서 수행할 수 있는 간호는 매우 제한적이다. 따라서 관찰 위주의 임상 실습의 단점을 보완하고, 실습 교육의 질적 수준을 높이기 위하여, 웹기반 시뮬레이션 실습을 포함한 혼합 실습 모델 등을 고려할 필요가 있다.
