Background: Situation-based training in simulation education is an experiential learning teaching
method that integrates knowledge, skills, and attitudes by connecting theory and practice in
situations closer to clinical practice, allowing learners to learn independently. In Korea, it has been
shown that systematic use of simulation education from the early stage can improve clinical
judgment, team effectiveness, and communication skills.

Objective: The present study aimed to assess what Japanese nursing students learned about Korean
simulation education and how it affected their learning attitudes through text data mining analysis.

Methods: We invited Dr. Kim So Ok, Ph.D., a Professor of Psychiatric Nursing and Dean of the Nursing
Department of Ulsan University who introduced simulation education to Ulsan University, to
National University in Japan to give simulation education lectures in December of 2023. Based on
these lectures, we analyzed text data from the 64 Japanese nursing students who attended to
assess the effectiveness of Korean simulation education. Text data mining analysis conducted by
Trend Search (Fujitsu) provided a conceptual map of related words, with the strength of relationships
reflected in the thickness of lines and the distances between them. The authors declare no conflicts of
interest associated with this manuscript.

Results: A total of 351 important keywords were extracted from text data. These were categorized into
two major groups: The first group had several keywords from “communication” related to the students’
learning environment. The second group was “can do” with several keywords related to learning
attitude. “Can do” was connected to “experience” and “problem-solving skills,” and “experience”
related several key words, including “care.”

Conclusion: Therefore, the analysis of these data revealed that students believe that learning Korean
simulation education has the effect of improving their communication skills in the environment,
allowing them to feel growth through independent learning, and improving their problem-solving skills.

Keywords: simulated education, nursing students, Republic of Korea and Japan
