1College of Nursing, Ewha Womans University, Seoul 03760, Korea.
Abstract:
This study aimed to identify educational needs and determine priorities in nursing care for home visit nurses providing services within the national long-term care insurance system in South Korea. This cross-sectional descriptive study assessed the educational needs of 92 home visit nurses. Participants' characteristics were analyzed using percentages, averages, and standard deviations. Educational needs were calculated for participants' current and required competency levels, utilizing the paired t-test, Borich's educational needs formula, and the locus for focus model. Four main categories were identified as top priorities: (1) health assessment, (2) cognitive function care, (3) disease management, and (4) medication management. The study's findings could support the development of appropriate and responsive education and training programs for home-visit nurses-as it reflects the actual needs of this group.
