Background: In 2020, the Japanese government declared a state of emergency due to the COVID-19
pandemic. The author, whose focus is on Korea-based nursing education, gave a lecture in Japan on
simulation-based education used in Korea.

Objective: This study aimed to clarify how nursing university students in Japan perceive the effects of
simulation-based nursing education used in Korea during the coronavirus pandemic.

Methods: The author’s research team received a research grant and invited Dr. Kim So Ok, a former
professor of psychiatric nursing at Ulsan University, to give a lecture on simulation-based nursing
education at Ulsan University (three times between 2020-2022). A total of 58 students attended the
lectures in 2020, 56 in 2021, and 54 in 2022. Participants provided text data on the effects of
simulation-based nursing education used in Korea. Text data were analyzed over time by text data
mining analysis using Fujitsu Trend Search software.

Ethical Considerations: This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Kagawa University. The
authors declare no conflicts of interest.

Results: Data from 2020 yielded two wedges based on text data: [clinical setting] and [ability] for the
first wedge, and [skills], [practice] and [knowledge] for the second wedge.

Data from 2021 centered on [can] and were divided into three wedges: including [activity] and [clinical] for

the first wedge, [skills] for the second wedge, and [nursing],[ assessment] for the third wedge. Data from
2022 centered on [safe, medical treatment, society] and were divided into two wedges: [safety], [protect],
[medical treatment], and [society] for the first wedge, and [reduce],[mistake],[failure]for the second wedge,
and [student],[ subjective],[ learning],[ reappearance] for the third wedge.

Conclusion: This study revealed that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing students in Japan
believed that simulation-based nursing education used in Korea allowed them to learn about safe
medical care and society in an independent manner.
