This study was a descriptive research study to identify of awareness about pandemic influenza, ethical awareness, and ethical decision-making in the situation of COVID-19 pandemic. The subjects were 194 nursing students in H and Y city. Data collected from May 1 to June 20, 2020 and analyzed using the SPSS 24.0 program. The subject's awareness about pandemic influenza was moderate, and ethical awareness and ethical decision-making were high. Ethics awareness and ethical decision-making levels were higher for those who had a history of infection with new type of infectious disease than those who did not. Awareness about pandemic influenza is positively correlated with ethical awareness(r=.291, p<.001) and ethical decision-making related to pandemic influenza(r=.143, p=.046), ethical awareness is a positive correlation with ethical decision-making(r=.274, p<.001). Based on result, propose the development of an educational program to make correct ethical decisions in the social disaster caused by infectious diseases for nursing students.

Despite the development of modern medical sciences, the outbreak and spread of infections continue to threaten populations, and the spread of infections among populations is caused by social contacts. There have only been a few studies on social contacts in the Republic of Korea (hereafter Korea). This study identified the types of social contacts in other countries through a systemic literature review and this helped provide basic data for Korea. Twelve studies were finally selected and then published from 2000 to December 2017. The most common study method was a retrospective contact diary (7cases, 58.3%), and random sampling (9cases, 75%). The number of contacts was 4.9-17.7/day, there were more frequent contacts during the weekdays than on weekends, and the most contacted people were those people that met daily. Physical contact was frequent at home. The highest frequency of contacts was between people 5-19 years old. In case of an epidemic, the spread of infection by this age group could be a concern. Assortative mixing was high in the 5-20 years old group, suggesting that this age group may be more likely to spread infection by contact within the same age group. Therefore, a national-wide survey on social contacts will be needed to predict the spread of infections, and to develop infection prevention based on a domestic basis in Korea.

The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed physical activities due to social distancing to prevent the spread of infectious disease. The restriction could affect physical activities and serum lipid levels. The purpose of this study is to investigate changes of serum lipid levels and physical activities due to the social distancing between the pre-and-post COVID-19 pandemic on Jeju Island. A total of 5,373 subjects who underwent medical examination at a medical center located on Jeju Island. between May 2018 and December 2021 was enrolled. They were divided into two groups (the pre-COVID-19 vs. the post-COVID-19) based on their medical checkup dates and analyzed about clinical variables between them. Among the clinical variables, the mean age (P<0.014) and the mean levels of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (P=0.001), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (P=0.039) and total-cholesterol (P<0.001) and the proportions of subjects with abdominal obesity (P<0.001), aerobic exercise (P=0.003) and physical activity (P=0.008) were significantly higher in the post-COVID pandemic than those in the pre-COVID-19 pandemic. Even though the proportions of subjects with physical activity and aerobic exercise were statistically greater in the post-COVID-19 pandemic, those with central obesity and dyslipidemia were significantly higher in the period than before on Jeju Island.

본 연구는 코로나19 대응을 위한 업무연속성계획의 가동 경험을 분석하여 체계를 개선한 내용을 다루고 있다. 코로나19는 전 세계적으로 팬데믹을 일으킨 대유행병으로, 감염병 확산으로 인한 위기 상황에서 업무연속성을 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 전력에너지 공기업은 위기대응 체계를 구축하고 필수 대응 사례를 분석하여 업무연속성을 유지하는 방안을 모색하였다. 이를 위해 근무환경 분리, 핵심인력 확보, 비상대응 업무계획 수립 등 다양한 대책을 시행하였다. 코로나19 상황에서 전력에너지 공급업무의 연속성 확보를 위한 이러한 대책들은 효과적으로 시행되었고, 감염병 재난관리에 대한 매뉴얼로 활용하고 있다.

지난 2020년 전 세계적으로 코로나 19 확진자가 급증하자 세계보건기구(WHO)는 코로나 19 대유행을 선언하였다. 이러한 질병의 확산을 막는 방안으로 다양한 시험들이 비대면 시험으로 전환되면서 부정행위에 대한 우려가 있다. 또한, 이러한 상황에서 비대면 시험을 진행하고자 할 때 참조할 만한 체계가 없는 것이 현실이다. 이러한 상황을 고려하여 감염병 확산 이후로 불가피하게 진행될 비대면 환경에서의 감독 및 시험 방식에 있어 4단계의 거버넌스를 제시하고자 한다. 해당 거버넌스는 시험에서 사용되는 활용도 및 빈도수와 시험 감독 강도에 따라 4단계로 정의된다. 각 단계의 거버넌스들은 기존의 비대면 시험 방식과 코로나 19 이후의 시험 방식에 대한 비교 및 조사와 여러 시험 형식의 특성을 고려하여 제시된다. 제시된 거버넌스는 비대면 시험을 준비하고 시행하는 기관, 기업 및 학교들의 참조 모델이 될 것으로 기대하며, 비대면 시험의 "효율성"과 "공정성"을 확보하는 데에 기여할 것을 기대한다.

The purpose of this study is to make suggestions for the infectious disease surveillance systems as part of the government's healthcare policy intended to minimize damage by implementing an appropriate and swift crisis management in the event of future infectious disease outbreaks. To that end, this descriptive study analyzes the infectious disease outbreaks and the management and control thereof in Korea and other countries, so as to suggest some approaches to infectious disease surveillance systems applicable to affected regions. The analysis results shed light on the causes of the spread of future infectious diseases over the past years, and the management systems that could possibly deal with the trial and error in the response policy. It seems crucial to roll out appropriate information, training and promotion programs as part of the national disaster response systems to prevent infectious diseases in relation to the roles of multiple relevant government agencies in the event of disasters especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

This paper intends to draw implications for preparing for Post-Corona in the health field and policy fields as the global pandemic is experienced due to COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to analyze the news and trends of media companies through temporal analysis of the three infectious diseases, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), in which the domestic infectious disease preventive system was active throughout the first year of the outbreak. To this end, by using the news analysis program of the Korea Press Foundation 'Big Kinds', the number of news articles per year was digitized based on the period when each infectious disease had an impact on Korea, and major trends were implemented and analyzed in a word cloud. As a result of the analysis, the number of articles related to infectious diseases peaked when the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a warning and (suspicious) confirmed cases occurred. According to keyword and word cloud analysis, 'infectious disease outbreak and major epidemic areas', 'prevention authorities', and 'disease information and confirmed patient information' were found to be the main common features, and differences were derived from the three infectious diseases. In addition, the current status of the infodemic was identified by performing word cloud analysis on information in uncertainty. The results of this study are significant in that they were able to derive the roles of the health authorities and the media that should be preceded in the event of a new disease epidemic through previously experienced infectious diseases, and areas to be rearranged.

This study was conducted to identify factors influencing turnover intention of nurses that were cohort quarantined during the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome(MERS) outbreak. Subjects of this study were 267 nurses from three hospitals that came in direct or indirect contact with diagnosed MERS and suspected MERS patients and were group quarantined during the 2015 MERS breakout. The data were collected from October 1, 2015 through November 30, 2015. The collected data were evaluated based on descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA and multivariate regression conducted using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. The factors influencing turnover intention were work experience and usual stress levels. While nurses tending to MERS patients had the highest stress levels (p<.001), different types of patient care during the MERS outbreak did not yield to a statistically significant turnover intention. Theresults of this study indicate that work experience and usual stress levels impact turnover intention of nurses and because the stress resulting from the MERS outbreak did not significantly affect the turnover intention, further human resource management is required to reduce the usual stress levels of nurses.
