Abstract

Background: This study aimed to investigate and analyze the remote teaching methods implemented in nursing education and clinical practice during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the aim of developing post-pandemic educational strategies.

Methods: A structured questionnaire was administered to 92 full-time nursing professors nationwide, who were responsible for clinical courses in adult nursing. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics via SPSS.

Results: The majority (96.7%) of the participants implemented remote clinical practice during COVID-19. The primary teaching methods included virtual simulation programs (76.1%) and online nursing skills programs (75%). The clinical scenarios were primarily instructor-developed (63%) or drawn from virtual simulation cases (54.3%). Most professors (69.6%) modified their evaluation methods, and 85.9% reported changes in their assignment structures compared to their pre-pandemic practice.

Conclusions: This study provides valuable insights into the effective remote clinical practice in nursing education, identifying specific programs and implementation considerations suitable for post-pandemic educational environments.

COVID-19大流行对韩国临床实践教育的影响：一项横断面研究

背景：本研究旨在调查分析新冠肺炎大流行期间护理教育和临床实践中远程教学方法的实施情况，旨在制定大流行后的教育策略。方法：对全国92名负责成人护理临床课程的专职护理教授进行结构化问卷调查。数据采用SPSS描述性统计进行分析。结果：大多数（96.7%）的参与者在COVID-19期间实施了远程临床实践。主要的教学方式包括虚拟模拟课程（76.1%）和在线护理技能课程（75%）。临床场景主要由教师开发（63%）或从虚拟模拟病例中提取（54.3%）。大多数教授（69.6%）修改了评估方法，85.9%的教授报告说，与大流行前的做法相比，他们的作业结构发生了变化。结论：本研究为护理教育中有效的远程临床实践提供了有价值的见解，确定了适合大流行后教育环境的具体方案和实施考虑。
