Background/Objectives: The objective of the research was to develop User Created Content (UCC) videos to enhance basic nursing skills for Chinese smartphone users studying in Korea. Methods/Statistical analysis: Working together with Korean students and professors, Chinese international students produced two UCC videos for the inculcation of postoperative nursing skills and instruction in intravenous fluid injections. The videos contained both Korean and Chinese captions. Findings: The process of producing UCC videos by Chinese students was found effective: They participated in the selection of the topics and in the production of the videos. The effectiveness was determined through individual and group interviews. Greater instructional value was also due to the fact that Chinese international students acquired a greater sense of community in working with Korean students and professors in making the videos. Chinese students who participated in the production of the UCC videos could conveniently and effectively learn from their all-too-familiar smartphones. Improvements/Applications: Production of UCC videos by Chinese international students with Korean students and professors enhances learning basic nursing skills and helps to overcome linguistic and cultural differences. This outcome can present a way to enhance the quality of education and social well-being of international students in Korea.
