ABSTRACT
Objectives: To reveal nursing competence acquired by nursing students via role-playing (RP) exercises and define the learning points necessary for acquiring practical nursing skills.Methods: Qualitative content analysis was performed using debriefing sheets (DSs) for adult nursing RP. There were 109 participants.Results: The DSs of 69 individuals who met the selection criteria were used as base data, and 1179 data items were extracted. The results showed that the structure included 3 main themes, 8 subthemes, 31 categories, and 121 subcategories.Conclusion: The results indicated that participants noticed the underlying elements that make up practical nursing skills, analyzed them using advance organizers based on previously learned knowledge, and applied the acquired practical nursing skills to newly proposed strategies for continuous self-management for adult patients with chronic disease and their families. One aspect of nursing competence, "ability to improve nursing quality," could not be extracted; the elucidation of this acquisition process is a task for future research.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the pattern and effect of reading report activities on college-to-undergraduate nursing students in adult higher education. Methods We chose 154 college-to-undergraduate nursing students in adult higher education who studied at our department from 2009 to 2012 as control group, meanwhile the experimental group consisted of 168 college-to-undergrad-uate nursing students in adult higher education who studied at our department from 2013 to 2014.We used thefive-in-oneteaching method involving relevant scientific knowledge training, tutorial system, group report meeting, exchange of excellent reading report and score checking to train the experimental group, while the control group was still trained by primary method which was relevant scientific knowledge teaching and discussion of excellent reading report. Results The reading reports wrote by the students in the experimental group were superior to those wrote by the control group (P<0.001);The experimental group had better scores in the achievements of scientific knowledge and theory (P<0.001); The self-assessment of experimental group students in the ability of literature review, reading and analysis was higher than that of the control group (P<0.001).As to the effects of reading report such as enhancing scien-tific awareness, expanding scope of knowledge and so on, the experimental group had a obvious advantage over the control group ( P<0.001). Conclusion The five-in-onetraining pattern in the reading report activities involving relevant scientific knowledge training, tutorial system, group report meeting, exchange of excellent reading report and score checking can effectively improve the scientif-ic awareness of college-to-undergraduate nursing students in adult higher education, which is conductive to establish the basis of nurs-ing scientific research, guide the clinical nursing work and improve the comprehensive quality of students.

Se trata de una investigación cualitativa en el marco dela fenomenología interpretativa. Para la obtención de datos se diseñó una entrevista semi estructurada con preguntas tema, se aplicó a seis estudiantes que cursaron el segundo semestre de la especialización en enfermería del adulto en estado crítico. El análisis de datos se realizó de acuerdo al análisis de contenido; surgieron cinco categorías: percepción del estudiante, fortalezas y debilidades vividas, mediación para el aprendizaje, entorno situacional de la tutoría y función y finalidad.

This study tried to suggest the basic materials that can be efficiently applied in clinical cases by understanding problems through a content analysis of an adult nursing assessment tool and opinion agreement about nurse's practical usage presently used in the hospital. The study was carried out in 36 attached hospitals in nationwide universities from May to December, 1999, the two hundred and twenty five reports were for analysis. The contents of the collected nursing assessment tool were analyzed. It was found that the tool had been used with various names and content and there were instances of partial omission of a number of items, such as documentation and time records. Other results revealed that they mostly had a systematic classification of items, formation of details a form of a check list, and the effect of saving time. In spite of the adult nursing assessment tool, it was suggested that its style be subdivided according to the specialized of a department and that standardized style be amended and supplemented. The respondents also answered that there had to be education about continuous and sufficient health assessment skills on the physical examination record. The most frequently suggested items to be added were: past history, marital status, patient and caregiver's address and telephone number. It was found that a patient's education career, economic status, religion, hygienic practice, sexual life and hobby were the most frequently omitted items on record. The reason given wes because the items were associated with his/her privacy. These results highlight the importance of analyzing the content with an complete data collection, supplying basic content for a more accurate nursing record, computerization, sharing information and standardization of the form.
