Purpose
This study aimed to develop an educational informatics system for nursing faculty to improve their competencies in teaching patient safety and to evaluate the effectiveness of the system. Methods: We developed a system called, ‘Resource to Enhance Safety Competency and Utilize for Education’ (RESCUE) based on the World Health Organization Multi-professional Patient Safety Curriculum Guide, and it was implemented with full-time nursing faculty in 4-year nursing schools. A one-group pretest-posttest design was used for evaluation. A total of 46 nursing faculty members used the system during a 3-month period. The effects of the RESCUE were measured using a survey including patient safety teaching competency, system usability and user satisfaction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: After using the RESCUE, participants showed a significant increase in self-confidence in teaching patient safety during lectures (Z=-3.61, p<.001) and practica (Z=-3.14, p=.002). Conclusion: The developed informatics system was shown to be effective in improving the self-confidence of nursing faculty in teaching patient safety. To effectively integrate patient safety topics into the curriculum, it can be helpful to utilize the educational materials provided in this study with various clinical cases.

Purpose
The aim of this study was to gain in-depth understanding and insight into how student nurses experienced communication with professors.
Methods
The research method was a qualitative study in which data were collected and analyzed through in-depth interviews with individual students. Colaizzi's phenomenological research method was used. The participants in this study were students who graduated from the nursing department and were considered able to describe the communication experience between professors and students in the college of.nursing.
Results
The analysis showed that the communication experiences between professors and students who had graduated from the college of nursing consisted of six themes for a total of 15 themes clusters and 78 meaningful statements. The 6 theme-clusters were ‘invisible barrier between participant and professors’, ‘motivational driving force’, ‘enrich meta cognition through experiential discourse’, ‘having a dream of lifelong development’, ‘wanting to have meaningful encounters’.
Conclusion
The participants were not able to easily form relationships with the professors of the college of nursing during their academic life, but they learned the practical know-how from the strengths and experiences of the professors that led them from beginning student to graduate nurse.
