Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the status of health management and to evaluate the need for health professionals in day care centers in the South Korea. Method: Data were obtained from 360 child care providers in 16 provinces from May to August, 2007. Data was analyzed using SPSS WIN 14.0. Results: Safety education (traffic. 83.8% general safety. 71.6%) was provided more often than the other topic of education. All health related education was provided by child care providers. When minor health problems occurred, the most common management strategy was to send the child home (36.1%). During emergency conditions, majority of child care providers preferred taking the children to medical centers without giving any emergency care and 19.4% reported sending the child home without any immediate care. Child care providers recognized the need for health care professionals. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest the need for services of health professionals in day care centers to satisfy the needs and expectations for health management in these centers. As health professionals, public health nurses or pediatric nurse practitioners may play an important role in health management of children in day care centers.

Data was collected from November 17, 2008 to January 23, 2009. Analyses involved descriptive statistics, $x^2$ test and paired t-test. Result: Hypertension control rate was improved 25.2% and DM control rate was improved 3.0%. There were significantly beneficial hypertension-related differences in BP, health belief, health knowledge and health behaviors including performance of 10 min of moderate exercise, diet, BP monitoring and medication. Significantly beneficial DM-related changes included glucose, health belief, health knowledge and health behaviors including performance of 10 min of moderate exercise and glucose monitoring.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the costs and benefits of individual home visiting health care using secondary data and literature review. Methods: The total number of subjects was 1,008,837. A specific program was classified into disease management, care of infant, child and women, or elderly care. The costs and effects of a program were identified from a societal perspective, and the effects were converted into monetary terms or benefits. The total cost was calculated in the way that medical expenses, travel costs and productivity losses were offset by the decrease in benefits and thus only the program budget was included in the total cost. Results: The total program cost was 47.6 billion won per year and the total annual benefit was estimated at 435.6 billion won. The benefits of arthritis management were the biggest among disease management programs. The net benefit was 388.0 billion won per year and the benefit/cost ratio was 9.16. Conclusion: Home visiting health care was validated to be economically effective. It made a positive contribution to improving the health status of vulnerable populations and reducing medical expenses. These results suggest that home visiting care should be extended more broadly to vulnerable populations.

현재 우리나라의 재가간호서비스는 보건소의 맞춤형 방문건강관리사업과 의료기관 가정간호사업, 그리고 노인장기요양보험의 방문간호서비스의 독립성과 전문성을 인정하면서, 각 영역간의 연계를 통해 사업의 중복성을 최소화하는 연계방안이 필요한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구는 재가간호서비스의 연계방안을 도출하기 위해 전문가들의 의견을 바탕으로 합의를 이끌어내는 델파이 기법을 활용하였다. 그 결과 제도적 차원의 연계와 의료적 차원의 연계라는 두 영역 안의 총 24개 항목이 연계방안으로 도출되었다. 재가간호서비스의 연계방안으로 도출된 24개의 항목은 재가간호사업 체계의 개선과 제공되는 서비스 질의 향상, 대상자의 만족도 증대 효과를 가져 올 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 서비스의 중복을 최소화할 수 있는 방안을 모색함으로서 국가적 차원에서 복지 및 국민 건강관리의 효율성을 증대할 것으로 보인다. 이를 통해 궁극적으로 국민의료비의 절감과 더불어 재가간호서비스 증진에 기여할 것으로 여겨진다.

본 연구는 방문간호사의 방문건강관리 서비스 수행도와 방문간호사의 일반적인 특성에 따른 수행도의 차이를 분석하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구대상자는 대구시와 경상북도의 방문간호사 총 204명을 대상으로 실시되었고, 연구기간은 2011년 7월 1일부터 8월 30일까지이었다. 방문건강관리 서비스 수행업무 중 당뇨병 환자관리와 고혈압 환자관리를 가장 많이 수행하였고, 반면에 임산부 관리와 영유아 건강관리 업무에 대한 수행 빈도가 가장 낮았다. 방문간호사의 일반적인 특성 중에서 연령, 기혼, 교육수준, 종교, 보건소 근무경력, 방문간호 업무경력, 근무지역에 따라 방문건강관리 서비스 수행도의 차이가 있었다. 따라서 맞춤형 방문건강관리의 안정적인 정착과 활성화를 위해서는 방문간호사의 일반적인 특성을 충분히 고려한 업무 배정과 고용 보장 등을 포함한 방문간호사의 관리방안이 강구되어야 할 것이다.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the concrete educational needs of visiting nurses working in a community health setting in Korea. Methods: We conducted four focus group interviews from October 7 to October 18, 2021. Twenty-five visiting nurses who worked in public health centers were recruited through purposive sampling. A qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the interview data. Results: The demands of educational contents for visiting nurse safety management practical training were: (1) coping with physical and verbal violence, (2) coping with sexual violence, (3) infection control for infectious diseases with a high prevalence in the community, and (4) preventing and coping with animal bites during home visits. In addition, visiting nurses suggested training programs that comprised: (1) case-based learning, (2) short video clips, and (3) recurrent integrated education. Conclusion: Safety management training programs for visiting nurses should be implemented to the extent that they add no burden on their workload and are easily accessible at any time. In addition, training programs should be based on actual cases and be focused on contents that can be applied in home visit situations. A practical safety management training program should be developed based on the educational needs of visiting nurses, as identified through this study.
