This study aimed to develop a web-based simulation training for communication with individuals at high risk of suicide and to verify its effectiveness among nursing students. The study employed a quasi-experimental design using a nonequivalent control group pretest–posttest approach. The experimental group (n = 24) ) participated in an eight-week web-based communication simulation training (October 21–December 13, 2024), whereas the control group (n = 24) received conventional lecture-based instruction. The pretest was administered on October 18, 2024, and the posttest on December 16, 2024. The experimental group showed a significant increase in communication self-efficacy (t=3.18, p=.001) and communication competency (t=2.89, p=.001) compared to the control group, whereas no significant effect was found for interpersonal competence (t=–1.96, p=.057). These findings suggest that incorporating this program as a supplementary component in nursing education curricula can strengthen students’ core competencies and enhancing interpersonal competence may require extending the program intervention duration or adopting repetitive and in-depth interventions.

This study aims to reinterpret the concept of mimesis within a digital context and propose a prototype design for a web-based performance simulation platform. The proposed platform is designed to enable stage directors to pre-visualize elements such as stage setup, actor movements, sound, and lighting within a virtual environment, thereby enhancing the efficiency and creativity of performance planning. The prototype was designed to enable interaction among performance elements by incorporating 3D modeling of a proscenium stage, integrating motion-capture-based FBX data, and utilizing timeline-based control. Furthermore, it features a real-time 3D rendering architecture leveraging Three.js and WebGL, allowing it to run seamlessly in a web browser without additional plugins. This research is significant as it establishes a conceptual foundation demonstrating the potential for integrating performing arts with digital technology. Future research should involve practical implementation and field validation to confirm its real-world utility.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of web-based simulation and high-fidelity simulation on acute heart disease patient care. Methods: The project used a comparative study design with two simulation-based training modalities. A total of 144 nursing students participated in this study: 76 students in a web-based simulation, and 68 students in a high-fidelity simulation. Participants rated their self-efficacy, problem-solving ability, interest in learning, level of stress, satisfaction with the simulation experience, and level of difficulty of the simulation. Results: The scores for self-efficacy, problem-solving ability, and interest in learning including interest in clinical training in the high-fidelity simulation group was higher than in the web-based simulation group. However, there were no significant differences in interest in learning, including interest in nursing knowledge, and in lab training, level of stress, satisfaction with the simulation experience, and level of difficulty of the simulation. Conclusion: A high-fidelity simulation of acute heart disease patient care might be beneficial to developing many more abilities for nursing students than would a web-based simulation. Also, since the web-based simulation improved interest in nursing knowledge, it could be a viable alternative to high-fidelity simulation. Further study is needed to verify the effects of varied levels of simulation-based care with more rigorous outcomes.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore nursing students' experience of learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in a web-based virtual simulation (vSim) through analysis of the reflection journals. Method: From June to July 2020, data were collected from 48 fourth-year nursing students who performed the simulation by reviewing prompt feedback on their CPR performance. The contents of the reflection journals were analyzed using NVivo qualitative data analysis software. Results: Nursing students experienced unfamiliarity with the English-based virtual environment as well as psychological pressure and anxiety about emergencies. Incorrect interventions were identified in the following order of frequency: violation of defibrillator guidelines, missing fundamental nursing care, error in applying an electrocardiogram monitor, inadequate initial response to cardiac arrest, insufficient chest compression, and inadequate ventilation. Lastly, the participants learned the importance of embodied knowledge, for knowing and acting accurately and reacting immediately, and their attitudes as nurses, such as responsibility, calmness, and attentiveness. Learning strategies included memory retention through repetition, real-time feedback analysis, pre-learning, and imagining action sequences in advance. The level of achievement, time required, CPR quality, and confidence improved with behavior-modification strategies developed through self-reflection. Conclusion: Educational interventions that are based on understanding accurate algorithms can strengthen self- awareness of mistakes to improve efficient imparting of CPR education.

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 3개 의 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.

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.

With the recent advent of microprocessors and networks, supercomputing system has been increasingly adopted as a general-purpose simulation environment for a broad spectrum of applications. In particular, the simulation environment has allowed theoretical and/or experimental research in various fields of computational science and to be free of time and spatial limits, and maximized the use of cyber-infrastructure for next generation problem solving. However, traditional supercomputing services have only been handled through a simple form of command-line based console, which leads to the critical decrement of accessibility and usability of heterogeneous computing assets. To address this problem, this paper describes the design and implementation of heterogeneous computing resources/jobs management framework, named IceBreaker, to enable any web-based supercomputing services. The proposed framework has essential functions including user authentication, data management, physical/virtual computing resource management, job management, etc. to provide efficient supercomputing service environments. The framework follows highly extensible modula design principle to manage different kinds of simulations efficiently and allow heterogeneous computing resources, for example, computing clusters, clouds, grids, to be easily integrated with our framework. We also present the detailed specification of standard web-based RESTful endpoints for 3rd-party developers to configure and build a variety of supercomputing service gateways. We hope the attempt presented in this paper will encourage more researchers to join us in designing highly efficient and cost-effective supercomputing service platform.
