Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of simulation-based maternity nursing practice by applying problem based learning (PBL) on the problem solving process, self-confidence in clinical performance and nursing competence of nursing students.
Methods
This study was one group pre-posttest design, with 123 third year nursing students. Data were collected from March 19 to May 29, 2013 as the students completed their simulation practice class. Students completed a survey about their problem solving process, self-confidence, and nursing competence at the beginning and the end of the class.

Summary Statement
▪ What is already known about this topic?
Simulation-based practice is an effective learning method in maternity nursing. It also helps nursing students to build up their self-confidence for clinical performance in childbirth and postpartum cares.
▪ What this paper adds?
PBL-integrated simulation practice provided a chance to learn by more practical experience with increased problem solving process, self-confidence, and nursing competence.
▪ Implications for practice, education and/or policy
It is necessary to develop simulation-based maternity nursing practice strategies such as construction of infrastructure including nurse practitioner and preceptors to increase the competence in nursing students.
