PURPOSE
This research was done to provide fundamental data to improve learning methods in Pediatric nursing and meet the needs of the students in actual nursing by analyzing nurse student experiences with problem-based learning in Pediatric nursing.
METHOD
Using the 31 Q-samples selected, 20 nursing students from J college were selected as p-samples. The students were personally interviewed in January or February 2008.
Result
The result of the study showed 3 types. The first type was the "negative resister", who failed to adapt to the problem-based learning and resists negatively. The second type was the "active receiver", who participated in the process of the problem-based learning and received it actively. The third type was the "passive accepters", who accepted problem-based learning but worried because they were familiar only with traditional learning.
CONCLUSIONS
In this study, problem-based learning was used for classes in the science of pediatric nursing. The findings indicate that preparation for learning and details should be considered when developing and using modules for pediatric nursing. Further study on the development of problem-based learning modules is also indicated.

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to examine the effects of simulation education integrated with problem based learning (SIM-PBL) on clinical competency and self-efficacy in post operation nursing care for children.
METHODS
This study was a quasi-experimental design. Thirty six students in the third year of a 4-year baccalaureate nursing program were recruited conveniently and assigned to the control or intervention groups using time difference. Students were all in a pediatric nursing clinical practicum. The control group received the regular clinical practicum in a hospital setting. For the intervention group, a SIM-PBL education replaced 150 minutes of their clinical practicum.
RESULTS
The intervention group showed greater improvement in two areas of clinical competency compared with the control group; physical assessment (t=3.019, p=.005) and post operation advice (t=2.428, p=.021). However, no statistically significant differences in improvement in any areas of self-efficacy were found between two groups.
CONCLUSION
The results indicate that the SIM-PBL education is effective in improving some areas of clinical competence, but not self-efficacy in post operation nursing care for children. Further study is needed to develop SIM-PBL programs for various clinical topics and evaluate the effectiveness on the learning outcomes.
