Online published on 4 April, 2020. Abstract The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of integrating PBL and simulation in senior nursing students. The present study was conducted with a quasi-experimental, single group, pretest-posttest design. Forty-seven senior students enrolled in an integrating nursing course in the fall semester of 2016 in SouthKorea. Life skills, knowledge, and confidence of basic nursing performance were administered before and after the use of integrating PBL and simulation. The data were analyzed using the paired t-test. The level of life skills (p=.001), knowledge (p<.001), confidence of basic nursing performance (p<.001)was significantly increased after taking course. This finding suggests that integrating PBL and simulation is an effective learning and teaching method in senior nursing student.
