Purpose: This study aimed to identify whether there is a difference between an online-based community psychiatric nursing practice program with the ARCS model and a conventional community psychiatric nursing practice program in promoting nursing students’ learning motivation, knowledge of community psychiatric nursing, communication skills, and learning self-efficacy. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group. The participants were 44 nursing students at three nursing colleges in Gyeongsangbuk-do. The experimental group was provided the online-based community psychiatric nursing practice program with ARCS model, while the control group was provided the conventional community psychiatric nursing practice program from July 9, to September 3, 2022. Both groups received practice training 8 hours a day, 5 days two weeks. The collected data were analyzed using the exact χ2, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Quade’s two-way ANCOVA with the IBM SPSS Statistics 28.0 program. Results: The results of the comparison of an experimental group training with the online-based community psychiatric nursing practice program with ARCS model and a control group training with the conventional community psychiatric nursing practice program showed that, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in learning motivation knowledge of community psychiatric nursing, and learning self-efficacy. However, communication skills were statistically significantly higher in the experimental group (F=6.23, p=.017). Conclusion The online-based community psychiatric nursing practice program with ARCS model can be used as a substitute learning to improve community psychiatric nursing capabilities in situations when clinical practice is suspended due to infectious diseases such as coronavirus disease 2019 or when is a shortage of community psychiatric nursing practice institutions.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine effects of clinical competency and working environment of psychiatric nurses on person-centered care. Methods: This study was conducted in five hospitals located in Daegu city and Gyeongsang-do of South Korea. Participants were 153 psychiatric nurses who had experienced psychiatric nursing practice for at least 12 months. Data were collected from November 15, 2023 to December 31, 2023 using a structured questionnaire. Collected data were analyzed through multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 21.0 program. Results: Participants had a person-centered care score of 3.93 out of 5, a clinical competence score of 3.58 out of 5, and a working condition score of 3.08 out of 4. Regression analysis showed that clinical competence (β=.47, p<.001) and working conditions (β=.38, p<.001) were factors affecting person-centered care, with an explanatory power for person-centered care of 49.8% (F=36.42, p<.001). Conclusion To enhance person-centered nursing competency of psychiatric nurses, it is essential to enhancing their working conditions and improving their clinical competence.
